Jan 21, 2008 Dark golden pour, small white head. Aroma is all yeast, spicy, pepper, honey, bread and some hop undertones. Flavor is more phenolic yeast, spicy, bready, lots of floral hops, astringent bitterness and more phenols. Some banana and lemon come out as it warms with more peppery spiciness. Not bad.

Jan 21, 2008 Pours pale gold with little foam. Aroma strong yeasty malt, reminds me of rising bread. Flavor is a bit sweet, but mitigated by slight hops. The palate is watery but saved by good carbonation and hops aftertaste.

Jan 12, 2008 Nice golden color and nice head. A wonderful yeasty aroma with a strong floral and fruity (banana?) hints. When I first got it, it was served a little too cold, but the flavors developed nicely as the beer warmed up a bit. The floral and fruity tastes really grab you. You can really taste the alcohol in the aftertaste. As far as American efforts go, this is a very solid effort at mimicking the Belgian trippels.

Jan 11, 2008 Thanks to rustychiles for the bottle. Clear yellow/amber color with a large head. Fair retention. Aroma of sugary malts, pears, citrus/tangerine and a fair amount of grassy/floral hops. Some banana in the taste, but not a lot. Very crisp an clean; difficult to believe it is unfiltered.

Jan 10, 2008 Very impressed with this beer. Full-flavored with tones of citrus with malty overtones. Got a little better as it warmed up a little.

Jan 10, 2008 I recognized the taste of this one immediately. It had the openings of a full-flavored Hefe with the inner flavor of a citrus-apricot Belgian Trappist. The first few tastes were below the serving temperature, but this brew was solid as it warmed. Very good.

does not count  Jan 9, 2008 Didn’t come off like a tripel. I’m going to Ft. Collins to have this from the brewery. My bottle fell flat with little head. The taste frankly didn’t compliment the aroma (banana? apricot?) at all. Had a nice mouth feel but mostly tasted like alcohol.

Jan 9, 2008 Difficult to explain the aroma, it’s got some power, but is mostly just grain and yeast. Flavor is mostly the same, with just a little fruit (apricot). I didn’t love it.
