Nov 21, 2004 I’m not a trippel fan, but this is my kind of trippel. Has more a sweet,candi sugar quality to it rather than being dry and herbal. Orange color with yeasty candy like gummy orange aroma. Whatever head ther was to start with dissapaited quickly. Taste is yeasty with a gummy orange candy flavor. There’s a little lemon bitterness bite at the end. Good for a trippel, but the cany like quality gets a little old towards the end.

Oct 11, 2004 22oz bottle. Great white head, super charged sweet orange apricot aroma. Some alcohol and bitterness. Tastes like fruity candy. Rich, robust, heavily spiced beer. Too much so to really trun me on. Still enjoyable though.

Sep 24, 2004 (gabf 2003) Sweet fruity aroma that flows into the flavor. A touch of citrus and cinnamon spice. Very nice blend of flavors. Nicely crafted tripel.

Sep 22, 2004 A sound brew, perhaps a little less complex than I’d like. It has a bit of that Flintstone’s vitamin character to it that some of the Belgians do -- citrusy and vitaminlike. Tangy, fairly sweet, yeasty, some starchy banana heading into the finish along with some pepper. Mouth is substantial, finish is long and tart.

Sep 22, 2004 Picked up at the brewery in Anchorage and it survived a long flight home to Florida. Murky, dark golden to light peach colored pour with a frothy white head and loads of bubble action. Aroma of bubble gum and fresh potpourri, very clean and fresh. Flavor has some white wine elements to it at first with some banana-like estery notes coming in behind. Not overdone with sweetness though. Also detect some non-banana fruitiness - nectarines perhaps. Has a spritzy mouthfeel, but not too carbonated - sits right. Overall a damn good tripel.

Sep 10, 2004 Nice full, bready aroma over a cloudy dark yellow color. Complex spicey flavor with a fizzy mouthfeel. Good stuff!

Jul 12, 2004 Poured a hazy amber/orange with a large frothy white head. Smells of cloves, peppers, spices, yeasts and citris. Malty sweetness to start then tastes of bananas and spices. Lively carbonation and a dry finish. Alcohol present but well hidden. Very good tripel.

Jun 14, 2004 Updated: Apr 27, 2005Clear gold pour with a nice head that went away pretty quick. Definate fruit and alcohol aroma. Very nice trippel. Aroma of pepper and fruits (apples and pineapples). Not too happy about the lack of head retention but then again this bottle is about 8 months old.
