Bomber Batch 2 March 2011, drank April 2011: Pours a cloudy dark yellow with a large white fluffy head, aroma has lemons, cloves and bananas, starts and ends lightly sweet with a fruit ending, medium bodied with lively carbonation.

Bouteille de 1pt. 6oz.( batch 2) Merci Julien et Pier-Luc. Bière blonde dorée-blé passablement trouble avec une mousse blanche. Le nez est classique pour une Triple avec des notes de fleurs blanches, d’épices et de houblon herbeux. La bouche est encore une fois dans le registre des triples belges avec des belles notes épicées et une touche amère.

Tasted 6/30/11. 22oz bomber. Bottled Mar 2011. Shared with Keir, phaleslu and others. Hazy with a golden hue. Webbed white head. Aromas of bananas, citrus and slight bit of bandaids. Medium bodied with a candy sweet flavor. Bitter citrus notes and astringent effervescence. The subtle pepper and spices mix well with the banana nuances and fruity flavors. Solidly produced!

22oz bottle in a Trappist glass. Pours hazy golden with a thick, white head. Aroma of strong floral hops, spicy yeast, and caramel malts. Flavor strong of the hops. Smooth texture. A really good tripel.

Pours a one finger white head that fades slowly to a thin layer leaving a very good lace. Medium carbonation and medium bodied. Almost clear golden color. Nose is lightly hoppy. Flavor is sweet, fruity with the hops balancing. Higher ABV is hidden. $6.95 for a 22oz bottle from Colonial Spirits, Acton, MA. Bottled Mar 2010.

22 oz bomber. Pours a hazy golden orange with a medium sized white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of grassy notes, light honey, bread dough and yeast. Taste of light honey, belgian yeast, cloves and bread dough. Nice stuff for a warm day.

Bomber bottled March 2011, batch 2. Pours a dark golden orange that is completely opaque with a 1.5 finger frothy white head that quickly settles into a thick lasting ring. Rings and streaks of soapy lacing left behind. Earthy aroma with lots of zesty spice, light fruit and a slight vegetal character. Hints of pepper and coriander along with subtle booze and earthy, piny hops. The resinous earthy hops notes along with the spice give it kind of a saison feel. Underneathe there is a prevalent estery presence with hints of apple, pear and apcot along with some alcohol phenol. Fuller bodied than expected with a crisp hop bite up front that lingers over the spice, yeast, alcohol and light fruit notes into a slightly dry finish. The floral hops give off a dry, earthy bitterness with some soil/pine character up front which counter the sweeter notes of the beer pretty nicely. Not overly hoppy but just enough to add some complexity and balance. The hops are complimented by some zesty spice, namely pepper, coriander and candy sugar. I’m also picking up some citrus and other light fruits, orange peel, apple, pear and apricot. There is a lot of alcohol flavor toward the end of the palate but I wouldn’t really call this beer hot. This is a unique twist on the triple style that they pulled off pretty well.

bottle pours deep gold with a medium white head. Aroma is candied sugar, pale malts and light alcohol. Flavor is sweet karo syrup, grassy malts, and a peppery hop finish that is super dry with only a hint of alcohol. The balance in this beer is great, one of the best triples I have had to date.

Pours out a slightly cloudy golden color with a frothy, fluffy two finger white head. Aroma is of strong grassy hops, touch of yeast, sweet fruits and candi sugar. Taste is full bodied with some grassy and light citrus hops, fruity notes, odd vegetable note is hiding in there also along with maybe some peach and sweet apple, light yeast and candi sugar, with some alcohol creeping in there too, with a little more sweetness. Overall pretty solid, but it was a little too sweet for the amount/type of hops used.

on tap at Ginger Man, NYC on 4/22/11. deep golden pour with a 1/4" white head. citrus nose with some banana notes and Belgian yeast. medium body with a good amount of citrus hop notes. apple, orange zest, grapes, candi sugar round things out. sweet and dry finish.
