| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 7, 2004 The Trippel poured golden yellow. It had a good sized, fluffy, white head that displayed good retention and some lacing.
Its aroma was complex - spicy, yeasty, and earthy, with strong tones of corriander, flowery hops, and some hints of bananas.
The taste was some sweetness initially followed by spicy cloves, yeasty bitterness and some slight fruity notes. It was very smooth and medium bodied.
Overall, a very nice, complex, yet well balanced brew. It was very easy drinking - I didn’t notice the alcohol at all. bitter (1137), Henderson, Nevada, USA

Aroma is very similar to what you would expect from a good belgian beer, as is the taste. Palate feel was thin, yet almost buttery. Nice fruityness to the whole experience, and overall a tasty beer.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 8, 2005 From the bottle, this beer poured a beautiful polished amber liquid. There was an off-white ample creamy head that lasted throughout due to a lively effervescence. This left a nice lacing on the edge of the glass. The nose was a complex mixture of malt sweetness with undercurrents of apple, citrus and grass. The mouthfeel was sharp and slightly dry. The initial flavor was a subtle balance of malt sweetness and clove. The middle was dry and the finish, slightly sweet with an alcohol warmth. ChillCoat (1030), Concord, California, USA
