pour is a clear golden with a thin white head, and good lacing.
smell is grain, sweet fruit, spice, citrus, malt, and a touch of caramel.
taste is a little tart, some fruit, malt, bread yeast, spice, and peanuts, ends dry and a little tangy. AmEricanbrew (1808), Doing Rogue, Louisiana, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 28, 2007 12 oz. bottle with a drink by date of 11-23-04. Pours a cloudy amber color with a slight head. Nice lacing. Smells of black pepper, spices, and corn. Light to medium bodied with a decent mouthfeel. Tastes pretty bland with a grainy, yeasty flavor. Has a slight alcohol bitterness to finish. Below average for a triple.
Not as good as I remember it being some ten or twelve years ago. jan 2004

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 13, 2007 Golden, aroma is nice with banana noticeable. I agree that sweetness may help balance the flavor. Not as good as I remembered from my last tasting. Ty5592 (1015), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 30, 2007 Bottle from BlackForestCO. Light blond color with light eastery/banana aroma. The taste was the samw with the samw nutty flavor as fat tire. Decent but needs more sweetness and less nutty flavor. drfabulous (1225), Columbia, Missouri, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Oct 30, 2007 Tripel? Where? Very light, highly carbonated, almost pale ale. I was duped by the high ratings on this board and the fact that I once owned a shirt with this beer’s logo on it. Overall, a bit of a disappointment. Not much citrus. Not much balance. Not much flavor. Another New Belgium let down. dwedin (238), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 28, 2007 Golden orange, brilliantly clear, thin white head. I detect the earthiness, a little floral and alcohol. Nice smooth strong beer. Sweet but not overly, a bite in the finish that balances it out.
