Feb 14, 2009 Local supermarket. Orval chalice. Set on fridge to warm slightly. Pours a sparkling gold with rocky off-white head. Lively scent of fresh barnyard and banana peel. Taste of spicy tropical fruit with a long, smooth malt finish. A little prickly on the tongue. Overall a fine example of Belgian character, smooth, yet slightly challenging. It’s funny buying a six-pack of tripel for the same price as one Westmalle. Good value indeed.

Jan 31, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a crystal clear golden yellow color with a large frothy white head that produces amazing lacing and has superb retention. This beer is a treat on the eyes. Aroma is a very slight malt yeast combo with a nice sweet back to it all. Flavor is slightly spicy with a nice fruity nod and that Belgian yeast is at the forefront giving the beer a nice slight banana flavor. Just the right amount of sweetness too. Very well done! This beer is wonderful. By far the best year round offering from New Belgium. I can drink this bad boy all day and night.

Jan 31, 2009 TAP, BOTTLE: Pours a pale gold. Aroma is slight malt, yeast, and musty. Taste is a little bit earthy and malty, but not as much spice as I would expect. Pretty good beer, but just okay for a tripel.

Jan 31, 2009 Transparent gold, small white head that goes to a ring... pretty swill-like appearance. Nose has bubblegum, wet grass, some yeast. Flavor has some great yeast and malt coupling, a little pepper and finishing with some banana. Very nice balance. Very nice beer.
