Kevin (1917), Colorado, USA Apr 3, 2005 pours light amber with a volcano of a white head. aroma is corriander, yeast, and seedless grapes. flavors of yeast , light pepper, and a milky caramel. very clingy mouthfeel. and the sweetness lingers in this one. it is still a good beer. just a bit outside what i look for. barleyandmalt (25), USA Mar 28, 2005 Smells of the county fair: bubble gum and hay. Intriguing copper color; lacks a proper head. Upon first long pull, all preconceptions are blown out the window. Citrus and caramel explosion with a perfect carbonation complement. Smooth finish leaves you pondering when your next taste of this craft will be. A must try for all new Trippel explorers! jtw (942), farmington, Michigan, USA Mar 23, 2005 bottle from tannertavernboys. "flat" aroma if that makes sense, unlike a flat body. earthy and yeasty and musty. tingly caramel alcohol flavor but the tingle is not from carbonation; it seems to come from a citrusy spice. good beer, good tripel, but just typical for a belgian style brew. imstein (5), Alabama, USA does not count Mar 21, 2005 DRANK IT STRAIGHT FROM THE BOTTLE.
THOROUGHLY ENJOYED IT. GETS BETTER AS IT WARMS. NICE CARAMEL AFTERTASTE AND VERY SMOOTH GOING DOWN. CAN’T WAIT TO GET MORE.
IM STEIN ericmc83 (200), Arkansas, USA Mar 19, 2005 Updated: Oct 12, 2005Honestly, I don’t completely understand why this beer has such a good rating. The best thing that I can say about it is that it is fairly true to style, but, in my opinion, it’s not that good. mustang3 (254), Whitby, Canada Mar 15, 2005 Hazy bright yellow in colour with a pillowy white head. Aroma is vaguely fruity and spicy. Taste is incredible. I can dtect mango and lychee. Very nice. PorterPounder (3133), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Mar 7, 2005 Grapevine Market- Austin, Tx - 12oz bottle. Pours a slighlty murky, medium golden with a faint, but sticky white head, good subtle bubble action. Aroma is not overly apparant, pick up a faint fish odor, some cotton candy and fresh lake water. Flavor has a little bit of bubble gum, some candied sugar and a bit of alcohol. Turns slighlty cloying near the end. Mouthfeel is sticky and thick, which is nice. Overall, decent, but not one for the ages. goldtwins (4079), Nesconset, New York, USA Mar 1, 2005 Poured a dark yellow. Aroma was yeasty with some notes of leather. Flavors of some fruit, sugar, and hop spice with a semi dry finish. Light to medium bodied.
