3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20golden with decent white head. nose of solventy alcohol mostly before touches of belgian esters and citrus hops. some bitterness before more solventy alcohol masks and mires the yeast and hop component, though the residual sweetness is low enough to make the beer fairly drinkable. overall not a well fermented beer
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
This was at the ESBLS tasting in Dave’s house in Wood River. Bottle conditioned. Pours an orange-gold with a white head. Nose is full of fruit aromss. Full body. Smooth rich mouthfeel. Favor is full of fruit and hops show as well. Finish is very dry. A really delicious beer.
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 9/20
On tap at the bocktown. Sweet yeasty aroma. Clear with a tint of orange. Barely any co2. Is better than most american whannah bee trippels but still has a little of that rude american trippell on thhe finish. Wants to get there but never does. Yes a tad of uncivility about it. Each swig starts off deceptively mild then builds to a kick in the back of the throat. One nice thing about this is that it hides its alky content well.

Fall ’12 notes: Wheat, spicy fruity yeasts and resiny hops, weighty body. Tasty, booze shows in finish and flavors are a bit heavihanded.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
bomber from consumers beverages niagara falls, NY. hazy golden. semi sweet aroma, more hops then typically for the style. flavour starts nicely, firm base malt, nice layer of hop flavour, typical belgian yeast derived flavour. as it warms it starts to fall apart and the components start to clash. the sweetness of the malt become to much for me near the end. not terrible but not the type of big belgian blonde i enjoy.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Longhsot. Hazy amber with an off-white crown. Aroma of yeast, bready malt, mild fruit and mild hops. Taste is a bit odd with plenty of Belgian yeast, fruit and malt. Okay.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Ummm label makes this bottle slighty less appealing. Big bottle. Golden color. Small head. Aroma is fruit esters, old orange peel, clove, barnyard, yeasty. Medium light sweetness. Light bitter. Ave carbonation. Some caramel in taste. Not bad. Not great either. Purfumey
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
22 oz. brown bomber bottle. 2012 notched on side of label. Poured out a cloudy orange - yellow color, with a thin white head. Aromas are of phenols right off the bat. Smells like a box of Band-Aids that was made in 1972. The hop aroma & flavor do not favor this style of beer. Next time, pick the correct hops for the style at least. Phew! Cat piss aromas dominate this beer from the start. Flavors are of burnt Band-Aids, cloves, phenols galore. Mouthfeel is hot & burning. Burns my throat as well.
Needs work gang.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Poured from a 2012 vintage 22 oz. bottle into a Smuttynose Big Beer Series branded snifter.
Pours a hazy gold with deep amber accents. Two and a half finger fluffy bright white head Belgian yeast, spices, some mild funk, and herbal and grassy hops on the nose. Fruit notes, grassy, herbal hops, phenol alcohol, bready yeasty esters, white pepper and spice. Finishes fairly dry with yeasty, mild alcohol and spice. Fairly creamy mouthfeel with lively carbonation, light bodied. A very well done beer that will please anyone who appreciates Belgian-style beers.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Piney, sorta nasty smell. Medium bodied, hazed yellow. Chemical burn taste. The strange bottle art is the only thing I liked about this one.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
22oz bottle. Unfiltered orange-tan, foamy white head. Really nails the dry Belgianish hop character, and amps it up US style. Really well balanced and drinkable for the ABV. Golden malt, straw, pleasant almost white wine yeast esters. Dry and clean, almost a spruce touch. Massive golden malt and alcohol aftertaste, champagne touches. A rugged, hardcore hoppy Belgian Tripel with lots of finesse, The real deal.
