22oz. Bottle: Lightly sweet aroma. Smells of yeast, coriander, spices, herbs, and a little grass. Poured amber in color with a big, frothy, off-white head that lasted throughout. Great lacing. Hazy with particles. Sparkling. Flavor is medium sweet. Tastes of wood, yeast, honey, spices, malts, and a little alcohol. Medium to full body. Thick texture. Average carbonation. Short, honey-sweet finish. Overall, an ok Trippel.

Sep 16, 2008 Spicy fruity nose with candied roses. Dense foamy head, great lacing, brilliant orangey/amber color. Peppery sweetness, some banana, and enough bitterness to balance it. Body is full and has a frothy mouthfeel. The finish is the key, all the flavors explode then slowly drowned into a smooth alcohol burn. A bit more aggressive than expected, but a very tasty beer.

Sep 14, 2008 Pours a coppery burnt orange, cloudy with a lasting moderate white head. Aroma is blend of Belgian tripel and IPA, but not as pungent as either. aroma of citrus, earthy grain, hay, flowers, uncooked bread dough, and spruce. Tastes of doughy malt, hay, grass, earth, tangy yeast, flowery hops and vague citrus. Finishes mainly with the pungent yeast flavor but more citrus hops, grass and earth than most tripels finish with. The yeast seems cleaner, however which I don’t prefer. Medium bodied and soft carbonation make this easily drinkable for me. Decent beer that I’d drink again.

Sep 13, 2008 IT HAS A NICE FLORAL SMELL. THE FRUITS AND SPICES MIX VERY WELL TOGETHER. I WOULD NEVER KNOW THIS WAS NOT MADE IN BELGIUM BY THE TASTE.

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!
