Sep 6, 2009 Pours a light copper, perfectly (but very imperfectly) clear, with a medium white head that disintegrates after a moment. Aroma is of banana, clove, a little light fruit; pleasant. Flavor is pretty watery compared to a real trippel. The banana comes back weaker this time, the clove even moreso. There’s a vague hoppiness somewhere in there. No alcohol or other flavor(s) present. Mouthfeel is decent, slightly creamy, but not one that I’ll remember. Overall, good minus.

Sep 2, 2009 12 oz bottle pours a clear dark gold with a large, quick fading, near white head. Nose of banana, alcohol, and vanilla. Flavor is cloyingly sweet, and a has a good bit of alcohol burn, with an unusual, though not wholey unpleasant, toasted buttery biscuit finish. About what i’ve come to expect from an american version of the style, just with a slightly boozy biscuit spin.

Aug 22, 2009 Pours a gold with a very nice resillient white one finger of head and great lacing.
Smells of bread/belgian yeast, orange peel, and some other spices.
Taste is almost an exact mirror of the smell. This seems like an intro to the style and on the opposite end of a Fin Du Monde.
Dry finish, medium bodied and high carbonation.
Easy enough to drink and a good beginners intro to the style.

Aug 22, 2009 This beer was one of my first loves when I first started buying beer for myself. I haven’t tried it since I started tasting a greater variety of beer in the past year, so I decided to give it a fresh go. Pours golden with some visible carbonation. Aroma is very herbal with some cloves, and reminds me of bananas. Flavor is sweet, fruity, distinctly yeasty, with some hops. I’ve decided this is still a favorite, and a great beer for a very low price.

Aug 21, 2009 Bottled. Similar to Abbey with a lighter appearance and a thinner tan head. Sweet malty aroma, is booming with notes of fruitiness and spices. Tastes of yeast and spicy malt sweetness. Alcohol prevalent but less so than Abbey.
