COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Murray's Grand Cru is a tripel made with an authentic Belgian yeast and pours a pale straw colour with a fluffy white head. Hints of banana and bubblegum, backed with dry-hopped spicyness of Hallertau hops, dominate the aroma and flavour, which is balanced by silky biscuity malt flavours. This intense ale finishes full-bodied with a mellow bitterness.

SledgeJr (3577) - Omaha, Nebraska, USA - NOV 25, 2006
On tap at the Pub With No Beer. Pours a pale yellow with a big thick dense white head. Enormous bubble gum sweetness to the aroma. In addition, straw and banana emerge from the heavy esters. The flavor mimics these aromas as well. This is served in a traditional Belgian tulip glass and is completely satisfying after spending a week drinking mass-produced Australian pale lagers. The people at this famous bar were some of the nicest that we met in a country full of incredibly nice people. You must visit this place.

bluevegie (3004) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - DEC 2, 2007
Lovely, clear, burnished bronze body with a white, medium lasting head. Nose offers something different with each whiff, perfume, fruit and mint. Lovely smooth malt depth in the taste, almost full in body, banana, a little diacetyl and some bitterness as well as the warming alcohol.
