Bottle. Golden body with thin head... malty aroma.. flavor of hops, and fruit... light alcohol flavor... very smooth maybe a little too light for my taste

Clear gold with a modest chill haze, under a bubbly white and dissipating head. Has an aroma of spicy bubblegum yeast with a grassy hop note, alongside some stale pale grain and biscuit malt. The taste is kinda biscuity and grainy, but with a strange metallic twang, as well as some dusty yeast, with a slight herbal spiciness. A bit of apple on the palate as well.

BritAlesRule (167) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - DEC 31, 2011
Pours a golden dry straw color. Bubbly head which recedes at a decent slow pace. Peppery wheat smell with mild sweet malt. Taste brings forth some light fruits. Nice spritzy mouthfeel with an almost medium body. Non-existent alcohol taste. Not alot going on, but done completely right for what it is.

Spookgolds (180) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 18, 2011
Bottle from craft beer outlet. Pours a golden color, with some vanilla aroma. Taste is sweet, fruits, and some vanilla. Ok

Solid tripel, not any off-flavors which although exceptionally complex, gets the job done.

hawthorne00 (1306) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - NOV 26, 2011
Bottle, 12C. Clear pale gold with a white head. Restrained but complex aroma of oranges, peaches, dough, cheese, vanilla. Very carbonated mouthfeel. Taste has sweet fruits, spicy bitterness, some astringency from the bubbles. A let down after the aroma.

Far underrated in my opinion. Smell of olives at first note - my wife noticed before I did. The taste is complex, wild, slightly sour in the best of ways. Notes of olive follow through.

suprchunk (802) - Heinsberg, GERMANY - NOV 21, 2011
Hard to pour this one. The foam just keeps on accumulating. Scraped it with a knife and it is still coming out of the glass. Pale golden/straw colored pour with a ginormous white frothy head. I’ll say there is plenty of lacing. Smells of sugar and yeast. An earthy aroma. And alcohol, but subtle. A dry champagne type of mouthfeel. And a big yeasty and banana flavor. Carbonic. A burning sensation in the back. Not bad.
