Dec 11, 2005 12oz bottle with a best bfore date of March 2002. Pours the colour of apple juuice at the start but blends towards a darker orange with the yeast. Minimal head. Aroma is a muted gentle sugar and yeast. Thick body with a creamy mouth feel. Flavour starts muted for the style but subtle flavours grow on you. A quarter of the way through the bottle and a nice spice is noticed. Nice but lacking a certain zest and flavour for style.

Oct 17, 2005 In the bottle. I once thought very highly of this until I began drinking good tripels. Pours a golden yellow with a very big pillowy white head. Looks like a tripel. Aroma is yeasty and meaty. Flavor and body are lacking any real defining complexities. Strong alcohol bite at the end with some bitterness, but overall, not anywhere near the beer that their Abbey is.

Jan 26, 2008 Aroma is moderately malty with moderate orange citrus hops and other fruits. Pour yields a creamy white head with a sparkling medium yellow body. Taste is very flowery with a nice (but smooth) hop backbone with a touch of honey in the mouth. Very nice tasting.

Feb 1, 2006 This is a good tripel. Fruit aroma and lightly hopped. More fruit combined with alcohol in the flavor. Simple but pleasant.

May 29, 2005 Thanks to csbosox for sending this. Slightly cloudy golden color with a thin white head. Aroma of yeast and citrus. Good and crisp flavor of yeast, citrus and maybe hops. Light to medium body, creamy texture, moderate carbonation. Very enjoyable tripel.

Oct 10, 2002 Another great beer from New Belgium (thanks PhillyBeer2112!). The beers in actual Belgium can’t be much better than this can they? Poured a golden amber color with a thick head. Aroma alternated between fruity and hoppy. Cleverly balanced spicy flavor with hops, alcohol, and fruit with a nice citrus aftertaste. Good stuff.

Feb 11, 2004 Bottle pours a cloudy golden color with a fizzy white head. Visible sediment in the glass... head has now vanished leaving little fountains of carbonation breaking the surface. Aroma is spicey, cloves perhaps, with some honey & light yeast. Orangish/grapefruitish notes as well. Flavor yields a light floral presense, with some honey and malty tones. Light alcohol tinge, but not overbearing. Slight woody flavor as well. Mouthfeel is thick and it coats well. An ever so slight hop bite & alcohol flavor on the finish. As this one warms, aroma gets a bit more herbish and the finish gets more of a coriander taste. A very nice brew from the folks at New Belgium. (Bottle states 8.5%)
