Sampled at RBSG 2006- Grand Tasting. This is a beer that I brought to the tasting. Purchased at Downtown Johnny Brown’s in San Diego. Light amber beer with an excellent white head. Big clove aroma. This is dark for a tripel. Has an interesting sweetness. Pronounced orange flavors.

Sep 6, 2008 Cloudy copper color with a tall white head. Aroma of spice, fruit, and yeast. Yeast, spice, alcohol, and fruit dominate the taste. Very nice.

Sep 5, 2008 In short: A bland Tripel. Too sweet, overripe fruits, not much else
How: Tap at Hop Devil NYC
The look: Cloudy orange body topped by a very small off-white head
In long: Sweet on the malt side and not enough hops to balance it out. Crunchy sweetness with a sugary honeyed pie crust sensation, notes of decaying fruits (bananas, tangerines, apricots and more), yeasty. Overall rather crisp despite the overripe fruits taste. Totally lacking hops. No bitterness, no dryness. Sweetness and overripe fruits flavour all the way through. It’s a love/hate thing I have with Green Flash, I either really love their beers or I’m totally annoyed them. Nothing in-between so far. That brewery brings me through so many ups and downs that I have to blow my ears when I drink their beers.

Sep 5, 2008 Pours a hazy orange from the bomber with a trim white head. Mild yeast, citrus, and alcohol on the nose with a an almost dreamsicle flavor. Very dry cotton aftertaste, which hampered the experience for me.

Sep 2, 2008 Pours a hazy orange with a thin but lasting head with great lacing. Lovely spicy and inviting aroma with a hint of sweet tangerine. Tastes great - nice and spicy with a thick malty backbone essential for this type of beer, definitely notes of orange and pepper, a touch of coriander with a good resinous bitterness. Excellent carbonation and a chewy, thick body. I really enjoyed this one!

Aug 29, 2008 22 oz. bottle poured into trappist glass- poured a slightly cloudy copper orange, low carbonation, whisps of white on top of the liquid surface for a head, some lacing. Aroma of yeast, oranges, and coriander. Hits the mouth with a low-medium body, malt seems to get lost a little in the commotion of various spices in the middle, finish is warming and acidic.
