beervana (781), Libertyville, Illinois, USA Apr 14, 2006 (03.25.06) 12 oz brown bottle purchased from Liquidsolutions.biz. 7.8% ABV. Best before September 22, 2006. Clear golden yellow with average white head. Good lacing. Average carbonation. Spicy clove aroma. Medium-to-full bodied that starts with light malt sweetness and fruity/spicy clove flavors. Finishes dry with light malt and hop bitterness fade. Well-balanced and flavorful, this is an excellent Belgium ale. luckygirl (1221), Boulder, Colorado, USA Apr 12, 2006 Sampled at 4th Boulder Strong Ale Fest. the beer pours a hazy, medium yellow-amber color with a very small, nearly nonexistent head. The aroma is lightly malty with notes of husky toasted grain/dog food; hoppy with trace notes of herbs; trace notes of banana and a moderate note of cooked corn. The flavor is moderately sweet with an average-length, lightly bitter, tangy finish with an unclean aftertaste. The body was light, the texture was watery and the carbonation was lively. rdawson321 (145), USA Apr 11, 2006 Pours with a huge fluffy head. Bright gold in color. Very floral. Malty and bready, with an almost wheat-like character. Malty, smooth finish despite lots of carbonation. Great example of the style, but not quite my thing. beeryum (652), Norcross, Georgia, USA Apr 9, 2006 Bottle. Gold yellow pour, with a decent fluffy head. Spiced citrus and bready yeast aroma with some light malts. Spiced citrus flavors, with a little earthy hops and bready yeast. Clean finish. Very nice. Tmoney99 (4661), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Apr 2, 2006 Bottle. Clear dark amber pour with a large frothy white head that lasted and has good lacing. Good citrus spice aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Full citrus and spice flavor with a moderate finish. Good complex brew. framebender (56), Boulder, Colorado, USA Mar 26, 2006 OK Trippel. Pretty much what you imagine when you think of a Trippel, but nothing extraordinary. Exactly what you would expect but nothing more. jerc (3861), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Mar 25, 2006 Bottle from a forgotten trader. Sorry! Godlen yellow body with a nice fluffy white head is crisp and clear, I might have thought it was a pilsener had I not known otherwise! (3+) Sweet yesty aroma with notes of grany malt and alcohol, traces of odd fruit. Sweet flavour is cereal malt with pleasant overtones of spice and mild fruit. (6+) Medium to full bodied palate is pleasantly smooth. Quite enjoyable but failed to knock my socks off. ryan (1774), Beltsville, Maryland, USA Mar 25, 2006 Murky, golden body with a big, frothy, white head. Lasting cover, nice lacing. The aroma is honey, golden raisins, bananas and apricots. The flavor is bready, raisins, apricots, grassy hops and cloves. Mouthfeel is soft and creamy with a long, slightly bitter and dry finish.
