Jun 21, 2006 12oz bottle from lee’s liquor: hazy as hell, yellow with a long lasting creamy head. thick body, and an even thicker flavor of sweet malt and yeast. perhaps some plum and sour fruit in the aroma, and a little in the flavor.. which is not off style for belgian but unusual for an american one. or perhaps my bottle is from a "bad" batch ;) still enjoyable, well hidden alcohol.. watch out.

Jun 19, 2006 Hazy golden yellow with medium sized head. Fades to film eventually. Appears quite oily in the glass. Aroma is full of yeast and spicy floral notes. Banana, apple, pear in the background. Flavor is not bad just a tad weak. Yeatsy fruit up front with some more floral and spice notes, with some alcohol warming affect. Decent overall, just flavor detracts from score.

Jun 18, 2006 Great trippel - nice golden/bronze color with wonderful clove yeasty aromas.
A nice trippel - hard to find in CA but worth the trip to AZ or CO to taste. Good stuff.

Jun 17, 2006 Bottle: Pours golden in color with a frothy off-white head that diminishes slowly leaving nice lacing. Aroma is yeasty and floral. Malty flavor is sweet leading to a smooth citrus finish. A good choice if you can’t get this style of beer from Belgium.

Jun 15, 2006 Bottle. Pours gold and bubbly with a thin white fizzy head. Good lacing all the way till the end. Yeast aroma, some banana. Taste has some spice in it, initially reminds me of cloves, yeast, banana, then finishes with some citrus and dry. Medium body and carbonated. Seems kind of light.

Jun 15, 2006 Pours a clear golden color with a faint head. Light carbonation. Has a grassy, yeast aroma. Spicey, grassy flavor. Medium body. I don’t know what else to say. I’m just not a fan of Belgium beers.

Jun 8, 2006 Most everyone else has said it already. Compared to a real Belgian Triple, this is no comparison. However, I will say that it has some interesting things going on. It has some similar banana and spicy, tangy notes like NB’s Abbey, but more crisp and slightly less herbal. Once again, at eight bucks a six-pack vs. eight bucks a bottle for an imported triple – it’s a strictly monetary decision. Quality or availability/value. If you have the money go buy a Chimay Triple and you’ll see the difference. And then if you can find them go pick up a Gouden Carolus, St. Bernardus, Delerium Tremens, and maybe a la Rulles triple and really see the difference. If you can’t find any of those then track down a La Fin Du Monde from Unibroue.

Jun 6, 2006 Bottle. Clear golden color with a small white head. Spicy, fruity aroma of coriander, bananas and black pepper. The flavor was a cross between a tripel and a wit. It was yeasty, grassy with banana and coriander. Interesting take on the style. I liked it quite a bit.
