May 10, 2009 Really interesting in that it has a lot of west coast pale ale characteristics, but is also full bodied enough and has a complex Belgian yeast to make it unlike most beers out there.
Sampled at 2009 LA Craft Beer Fest.

Dec 11, 2007 Poured a crisp golden-orange with a effervescent, lively white head. Nose of spicy yeasty and big hops that was mildly bready. Flavor was sweet and lush with hints of chewy fruits and spiciness. Mouth feel was lively and well-rounded. Very nice offering from a great brewery.

Jul 16, 2009 Pours a golden orange with a nice size white head. aroma is of yeast, fruits, and spices. flavor is similar with a clove, bread, and biscuit flavors also. also has some carmel malt in it. has a medium-full body and has a dry finish with a slight alchool presence. overall, a pretty good Tripel with more american flavors then the average Tripel and is rather drinkable for the style.

Sep 12, 2008 1Pt. 6Fl. Oz. bottle @ Raja Liquors in Livermore, CA. The pour: Good caramel color, with very good head retention. The bouquet: some good maltiness, breadiness, and fresh yeastiness, as a trippel should be. The palate: creamy, I agree with the banana aroma, but also with hints of fuits such as peaches or nectarines. The hoppiness that come through lets you know this is a "California" brewed trippel. The finish is mild and pleaseant. This is a slighlty lighter version of a Rochefort trippel. Great job!

Apr 16, 2007 Bottle, at csbosox KC tasting 4/14. Bottle provided by csbosox, thanks Chris! Pour is cloudy straw yellow. Smallish off-white head. Taste is malt, yeast and hop in that order. There are also banana and clove in there as well. After taste sticks around just a touch too long 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!

Oct 5, 2009 On tap at Rattle’n’Hum. Floral aroma. Dark gold pour. The flavor has hops, Belgian yeast, and a touch of smoke. Some warmth on the palate. This is a very good American abbey ale.

May 3, 2009 Poured into a tulip glass.
Golden orange with a small head after a vigorous pour.
Smells of tree fruits and wild yeast.
Tastes good. Flavor profile jumps around with the beer’s temp.
Its definitely an americanized trippel. Kind of dry, nice light green apple yeast back end, surprisingly light on hops as I read it is dry hopped.
Extremely drinkable. the high ABV is hidden extremely well.
If you like american Trippels, try this one.
