miketd (679), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Mar 23, 2008 Bottle thanks to lb4lb. Pours a clear orangeish copper. Big, fluffy white head. Aroma of candi sugar, fruit and yeast. Flavor is sweet and dry. Body is watery thin. Not bad, but not great. Ughsmash (3978), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Mar 17, 2008 Bottle, BB 5/23/08. Poured a clear, brilliant bright golden with rising carbonation and a light cap of white head. The aroma picked up deeply-toasted pale malts, light citrus fruit, floral notes, and spices.. dark, but sweet overall with the yeast not leading the way as I’d prefer.. warmth brought around a lightly sour element. The flavor had a tangy, lightly-sour light fruity influence throughout.. pale and light fruity sweetness at the core.. some peppery spices, but more floral notes from the yeast.. peppery notes, fruity sours, and warm pale malt sweetness at the finish. A little heavier-bodied with decent balance on the palate. I didn’t find any great components here, but what was in there came together nicely. djd07 (721), Houston, Texas, USA Mar 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours an orange golden color with a large frothy white head. The aroma is banana, clove, and light citrus. Very good lacing on the glass. The taste is a sour fruit with a bitter finish. A good Abbey Tripel from New Belgium. swanmann (304), Norman, Oklahoma, USA Mar 15, 2008 The bottle poured with care, clear rich and golden with bright white effervescence. The aroma is sweet Belgian yeast delicately spiced and tamed, like honeysuckle. The flavor is balanced with bitterness, not quite full body and the florals impacting the overall olfactory. A delicious taste of a Belgian. BuckeyeBoy (1639), Boise, Idaho, USA Mar 14, 2008 On tap at The Front Door Boise. Pours out a light gold topped with a foam white head.
