3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Very thin white head with a slightly murky dark gold body. The aroma is bananas, cognac and caramel. The taste is malty with bread and cherries. Also some vanilla and caramel come out as it warms. The body is thin. Unimpressive for the style.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Slightly murky amber color with pillowy half inch off white head. Excellent lacing. Right out of the bottle the aroma was nice ripe banana. Later the sweet malt, sugar and a hint of yeast spiciness entered the aromatic picture. Solid Belgium flavor of brown sugar, plums, apple juice, banana, grapes, dry malts and yeast. The finish is dry and not too sweet. Very tasty.
3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: FEB 12, 2011 March 2004 Bottle Conditioned. BBE Jan 05 A pleasant brew. Smooth, but with a hint of prickly carbonation even one hour after opening. Alcohol is used to add body and flavour - some hint of warmth, but mostly well hidden. Fruitly sweet like jelly beans. [3.2]
Feb, 2011 On a blind taste this would be mistaken for a Saison. High temperature pale malt fermentation leads to a pleasant jammy flavour - fresh, light and orange tinged. The hops are not doing much. Faint spice notes, and some yeasty sludge add character and interest. Well attenuated for the strength so a light palate with a medium dryness. Easy drinking and very pleasant with a little alcohol buzz. Some plastic notes in the nose are distracting, but otherwise a decent enough beer. [3.6]

2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Muddy orangey brown sewage color with hardly any head. Ugliest tripel I have seen. Cotton candy and bubble gum nose. Thin, waxy palate. Malty, tropical fruit framework. Very sweet. Quite possibly an off bottle.
