SuperDave70 (1157), Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA Apr 9, 2008 One of the better offerings from New Belgium. Pours a nice amber gold color with a creamy white head that lasts. Nice citrus and yeast aroma. Malty flavor with some good hoppiness on the finish. Pretty good stuff. KAF (441), Coralville, Iowa, USA Apr 7, 2008 I thought this was better than the Abbey. Clear light copper pour with a thick white head. The aroma is of hops, spice and light fruits. The flavor is of more malt than expected. There is some floral hops some spices and malt. patrick767 (2016), fort wayne, Indiana, USA Apr 4, 2008 draft at the brewery - Pours gold with a long lasting head that leaves a heavy lace. The aroma is all citrus and yeast. The flavor is fairly sweet with a touch of hops in the finish. Medium bodied and smooth, it’s an enjoyable tripel though not an outstanding one. colts9016 (198), Idaho, USA Apr 3, 2008 Pour: Light copper amber color, with a one finger head and carbonation.
Nose: Floral, cinnamon, wood, hints of roasted malt and citrus notes.
Taste Floral, citrus, wood, spice, caramel malt roasted, hint of sweetness.
Body: Medium
Finish: Slightly acidic well rounded with a good finish jeg (115), Austin, Texas, USA Mar 31, 2008 Spicy floral aroma, mild taste for the genre, but quite tsaty and drinkable. Great value for the price, slightly on the bitter side for a Tripel. Thumbs up. TizzleJizzle (46), Garland, Texas, USA Mar 30, 2008 Updated: Apr 5, 2008I picked up a 6-pack of this in Dallas and I was definitely impressed with the drinking experience I had. This abbey trippel smelled like a tantalizing aroma of floral and/or a fruity aroma. Flavor was damn good, and I could obviously taste the mild malty and banana taste that was quite apparent. The appearance is of your average golden color and the palate is a refreshing fizzy carbonation that is not quite perfect. Overall this is a beer that I would recommend to anyone that empathizes Belgium ales! unclemike (834), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA Mar 29, 2008 Pours a rich, deep gold with a slight haze. The head is pure white and creamy in texture. The aroma is slightly herbal, cinnamon and oranges. The flavor is dulled for some reason, a bit of malt, but there doesn’t seem to be a lot going on, especially considering the aroma. The mouthfeel is very carbonated, almost foamy to begin, but settles down as time goes on.
buddahmind (39), Boise, Idaho, USA Mar 27, 2008 Banana nose, sweet banana cream front and a somewhat dry finish. Too sweet for me. Kinda yuk really. All right that’s enough, give me back my stout, this $U(K$.
