| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jun 2, 2009 Poured a dark gold with a rocky white head. Aroma was cellar, earth, yeast, and sweetness. Reminded me of cleaning rotting leaves out from underneath the porch. There were some light citrus hints in here and an underlying pleasent sweetness, but the funk (from the yeast maybe?) was a little to much to get past. hobbersr (394), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 29, 2009 Pours a yellowy orange with a nice white sticky billowy head. Aroma is very musty, almost mushroom/miso, smelling. Some soft and citrus fruit showing. Grain, honey, yeasty bread, but mainly a dank corner of an abandoned basement on the nose. Flavor is sweet and bitter... too bitter for the style IMHO. Grainy malt, orange rind, honey, toothpaste, a funny rubbery aftertaste and stale dehydrated mushroom. Palate is not lively enough for the style. Just feels heavy. Not enjoying this one too much, not awful... just not really good. AmEricanbrew (1808), Doing Rogue, Louisiana, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 21, 2009 Clear light amber with a frothy white head. Big yeasty estery aroma with mild sulfer and grainy pale malts. Medium body. Flavor mirrors aroma here with sweet candi sugar, pale malt grist, and light sulfer. Nicely bitter finish. Better than i remember this brew being way back when. LtDan (490), LA - Originally from South NJ!, California, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 15, 2009 660ml brown bottle. Light gold in colour, Some haze. Nice sized white head which lasts a while and leaves nice lacing. Aroma is yeasty, light citrus. Some malt sweetness in the mouth, honey, citrus flavours, fruity and yeasty. Dry finish, some leafy notes, light lingering bitterness. Medium body, medium carbonation. Nice tripel. trevor211 (504), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 14, 2009 Pours a light golden hue with a very small head for what claims to be a tripel. Nice, spicy-sweet, fruity aroma, very true to the style. Yeasty, peppery flavor makes up for some of what it lacks in carbonation - this is definitely an American attempt at a Belgian brew, but I like it. Full mouthfeel, and a big flavor, with a malty aftertaste I liked a lot. For a bomber that cost less than $5, this is great... but in the grand scheme of things, it’s merely good. scrizzz (1266), kirkland, Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 1, 2009 Slight haze to the brilliant gold, tall fluffy head. Strong complex aroma of wet horse, liquid candy and dry wheat. I cannot think of any other domestic tripel that smells this true. There’s a seawater saltiness here, along with more dry wheat. Very much enjoyed. BrewDad (2366), Olympia, Washington, USA
