blankboy (2617), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 5, 2008 My bottle (750ml) shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, jerc & tupalev. Pours a clear golden-orange with an average size frothy white head. Aroma’s sweet and yeasty along with light floral hops and spices. Nice flavour, it’s sweet but not overly so, with yeast, biscuity malt, floral hops, plenty of fruit and a light spicy finish. Alcohol’s present but pretty well hidden for 10.3 %. Medium bodied. This is a very good beer, and way better then I expected.

Aroma of spicy yeast and alcohol. Taste has tons of sweet malt, spicy yeast, and a touch of alcohol. Medium full mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness and slightly warm alcohol. Decent. fordest (1759), Santee/San Diego, California, USA Sep 9, 2008 22 oz bottle shared at Lost Abbey release. Sweet and yeasty aromas that gave way to a nice spicy flavor that finished dry. A very good Tripel. I especially liked the nose on this one. blipp (809), Grand Island, New York, USA Sep 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear gold with a white head. Fruity, yeasty aroma with a bit of banana. Nice flavor of banana and yeast with some spices as well. Quite good. beerbill (1312), Laurel, New York, USA Aug 9, 2008 Bottle sampled at NFB&WF ’08 at Martha Clara Vineyards. Pours a hazy yellow gold, more yellow than gold. Pleasant aroma of yeast, malt and sugar with a few vapors of alcohol as well. The flavor is nice with yeast, malt, candi sugar, and banana all well represented. A bit fizzy on the palate. The alcohol is noticeable, but is not a distraction. Good one.
