TheBeerOrg (1979) - Crestwood, Kentucky, USA - FEB 20, 2008
Pours bright golden with a mostly receding white head. Aroma of candy sugar, bubble gum, banana, and herbs. Taste is sweet malt, cookie, estery pear and banana with light herbal notes. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with lively carbonation. Perhaps a bit simplistic, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Bottle. Clear golden with a white head. Sweet, malty aroma with hints of herbs. Herbal flavours blend with sugary malts. Drinkable, but too sweet.

thegreenrooster (2438) - St.louis, Missouri, USA - FEB 7, 2008
Pour is a bright golden with a average white head. Aroma is full of peppery spice and yeast. Flavor is a bit of a let down. You get some of the yeast and creamyness that you should get in a tripel but everything is muted. Finish is very watery. Much better out there and im glad i only got a single instead of the entire six pack.

blklab2007 (1354) - Connecticut, USA - FEB 4, 2008
bottle poured a light golden in color with a steady mid range stream of carbination producing a thick white one finger head that became a pillow on the surface that lasted the whole glass. aroma is mild floral yeast, some citrus rind, a light sourness, and some candy sugar. mouth feel is light with good carbination on the tongue. flavor is more sweet than the nose, grape skins, floral yeast, thickness from the malt, and light background hops. very drinkable brew but not as chewy as i would like. finishes on the dry end with sweetness and flowery caramel.

SuperDave (1934) - Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA - FEB 3, 2008
Pours a clear medium golden color with great lacing and a foamy tan head. Spicy aroma with some yeast and honey. Nice flavor, lightly sweet with more of the honey and some fruit. Very refreshing.
