| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 18, 2006 Bottle. Explosive white, frothy head atop a rather clear and very active gold body. (By the end of the bottle, it got quite murky, but the top was very clear) Nice, spicy, citrus, banana and vanilla nose. Very dry and astringent mouthfeel. Very jagged, not as smooth as I had expected and hoped for. I was surprised by the flavor as well. Apples, pineapple, some corriander, honey and a slight hint of banana and maybe a dash of citrus. All in all, not bad, just too dry and astringent for what they’re trying to accomplish. Kevin (1918), Colorado, USA

This makes my nose happier than anything that I’ve ever put in it. Orange sherbert and vanilla ice cream, just so damn enticing. Flavor wise this is solid, some vanilla and melon with lemon and tapioca. A nice yeast in the finish. Wow, this is amazing. One of those beers I’d rather smell than drink, yet still tastes great.

As a beer though, good. Poured a red/orange color with a creamy head which lasted the entire beer. Aroma was of apples and grapes. The flavor shocked me, apples a honey and vinilla. Not super sweet with a hop finish which was done right. Like i said not a typical Tripel, but good beer." bu11zeye (5442), Frisco, Texas, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 29, 2005 Red color with a thin head. The aroma screams of an impending corriander slurry. Surprisingly enough, the spice fades into a nice, light malt flavor that has a bit of sourness to it. Usually hate this style, but quite nice. thedm (3834), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 26, 2005 This bottled brew bottled on 03/03 poured a almost all foam foamy finely sized mostly diminishing white colored bubbles that left behind a poor lacing. The body contained average carbonation, was hazy and orange brown in color. Its aroma contained notes of wheat floral malt . Its mouth feel is initially tingly vinous malt with a lingering tingly palate and a malt bite aftertaste. Its flavor contained vinous thick malty mildly yeasty mild orange notes and was very tasty. All-in-all very nice brew. Dickinsonbeer (3449), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 17, 2005 GABF 05. Pours a light gold with a thin white head. Lots of banana and clove in the aroma with some pepper and other yeasty notes. Complex flavor of yeast, phenolics, esters, light pils malt and a light earthy hop bitterness. Surprisingly clean overall, and finishes a bit sweet.
