| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 17, 2009 12 oz bottle courtesy of the Binnys Singles Rack (Orland Park, IL). Poured into a fluted glass, pours a just lightly hazed lighter golden hue, well carbonated, moderate bright white creamy head that dies to a decent level, laces fairly well. Aromas are lemon rind, banana, a touch of apple, light Belgian yeasty spice, fruit forward with a stronger lemony zesy than usual. Initial is lighter bodied, a bit sweet with good fruitiness, banana, pear, and lemon, with light spice and a dash or coriander, decent Belgian yeasty character that isn’t towards the cloying end of candy sugar sweetness but is definitely there. Lighter fare, and lighter ABV for the style I think. Finish is fruity, light bitterness tempered by fruity dominance. A nice brew, overall. drowland (1380), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 14, 2009 Deep golden orange/yellow. Aroma is light fruits. Flavor is big fruits with bubblegum and slight metallic hints. Very smooth for a tripel without much alcohol tinge. As my friend said who tried it with me, "I could drink this all night!"

Heavy lace from top to bottom. The aroma is grainy and malty-sweet with some caramel toffee and hints of sweet fruit. A touch of spice to round things out. Tastes of hops, dark fruit,and sweet caramel malt. A touch of yeast and spice as well. Medium in body, smooth, with good carbonation.

Nose offers a panopoly of fruit aromas, with perhaps a focus on a tropical banana note characteristic of weizenbiers.
On the palate sweet fruit character is up front with the malt and pronounced full body character. Alcohol warmth is there, but doesn’t detract from the drinkability.
Finish is long and appetizing. Maddog (234), Kettering, Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 23, 2009 Bottle from Whole Foods in Brentwood, MO. A very tasty interpretation of the classic Belgian tripel style. The pour is clear golden with yeast particulates floating around and the aroma is that of yeast and sweet fruit. The flavors of biscuit, Belgian yeast and some fruit come through as well as some spice. A very good and refreshing beer with a whole lot of flavor. dalek123 (103), Houston, Texas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 21, 2009 Pours amber with a medium white head. Nose is yeast and fruit. Taste is yeast, malt, banana, and alchohol, slightly spicy. Very nice. llcooldave (319), San Antonio, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 13, 2009 Hard to place the aroma but it’s reminiscent of toasted bread with butter & brown sugar. Pours a dark golden in color. Flavor is amazingly complex... yeasty and toasty malt notes with a touch of sour fruit up front followed by a banana & vanilla aftertaste. Overall, I like this, it makes a nice summer beer. GranvilleTim (476), Granville, Illinois, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 12, 2009 Golden yellow pour with a thick white head. Nice aroma- malt, yeast, hops. Better flavor- smooth maltiness, the yeast flavor goes great with malt and hops to round out a nice flavor. Nice lacing on the glass- each sip is represented with its own layer of lace.
