3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Coutesy of and shared with gputty. C&C 750. Clear orange with a slight white head. Nose is fruity and a bit spicy - the usual suspects. Flavor greatly increased upon warming. Sweetly fruity, some caramel and coriander. Not bad. Alcohol somewhat pronounced in the finish, detracts from the overall experience.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle at Chaucer’s Pub- Pours a hazed yellowy orange with a huge froth of white foam. Very fruity and yeasty aroma. Lots of apple and pear, white grapes and spicy rose petal. Sweet but almost tart apple and pear flavour profile with spicy yeast, fresh white bread crust and bittering hops to balance. Quite smooth and drinkable given the ABV. I liked it!
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
50 cl bottle, at my «Hopheads» tasting. Amber color, white head. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Flavor is the same. Watery and without carbonation. Too old? Dry finish.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: JAN 16, 2008 0,33 l bottle. Beautiful amber hazy color with a medium head. Freaky-spicey nose. In the taste are lot of fruits, balanced hop and a good sweetness. Complex and thick beer.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a cloudy dark amber with a thick creamy off-white head that goes away slowly leaving behind some fantastic lacing. Beautiful! Lots of aroma coming through. Caramel malt, fruit, spice, yeast, and grain. Similar flavor. Very sweet at first but turning bitter toward the finish. Really a good Trippel.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
750 ml bottle from LCBO, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. DE19/08.
App.: Clear amber with a decent rocky white head.
Aroma: Sweet and fruity, quite yeasty, apples, white grapes, other tree fruits, floral honey, a bit of citrusy coriander, toast and biscuit, a few light herbal notes.
Palate: Medium+ body, fairly full effervescence.
Flav.: Lots of apples and other tree fruits, some alcohol, floral honey, some yeast, bread and biscuits, a touch of citrus and I think some acetone (pear drop); sweet with some biting alcohol, not really bitter with light biscuit and yeast to finish.
Far from stunning, but I’m far from a Tripel fan!
