12 oz bottle. Pours a crystal clear golden yellow color with a large frothy white head that produces amazing lacing and has superb retention. This beer is a treat on the eyes. Aroma is a very slight malt yeast combo with a nice sweet back to it all. Flavor is slightly spicy with a nice fruity nod and that Belgian yeast is at the forefront giving the beer a nice slight banana flavor. Just the right amount of sweetness too. Very well done! This beer is wonderful. By far the best year round offering from New Belgium. I can drink this bad boy all day and night.

Jan 6, 2010 Very pale amber. Wild berries and vanilla. Finish like yellow cake with an interesting accent of fruit and herbs.

Jan 4, 2010 Crystal clear amber with almost no head. Tiny lace. Nose is tomato. Seriously, it smells like fresh tomato. Maybe a hint of citrus, as well. Taste is big Belgian yeast. Light and high in the mouth. Bit of mint and banana. Might be a great example of the styly, just not my bag.

Jan 3, 2010 12 oz bottle poured into a New Belgium snifter. The color was bright yellow and oh so clear. There was a short white head on top. The smell was really strong and was banana-like and estery. The taste followed suit with banana and spice. This beer was very easy to drink despite the 7.8% alcohol listed on the bottle. Good stuff and much better than I remembered.

Dec 27, 2009 Pours pale yellow with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma is fresh baked bread, overripe fruit, and spices. The flavor is very spiced with caramel and fruit. Nice beer.

Dec 18, 2009 Small head, but not bad looking. Very sweet nose, sense an artificiality, but it’s not offensive. Full palate, lingers with a slight bitterness. Honey taste, hops are flowery, rich, definite coriander. This is a really solid beer.

Dec 8, 2009 Ha! Never rated this, glad I sat down. White pepper aroma, and peanut butter, i swear. Now I want to eat this with Thai food. White sugar, basil, peanut, coriander and white pepper. I can’t get the association out of my head now.

Dec 5, 2009 Poured a light color with a small white head. Nose and taste of sweet hops. Not the best trippel I’ve had, but tolerable.

Dec 4, 2009 Pours a deep gold, with a little white head. A nice Belgian brew. Fairly spicy and still smooth and quite drinkable. A thumbs up.
