May 2, 2008 Pour is a bright golden with a soft white head. Aroma is sweet and spicy but nothing outstanding. Flavor is some spice and yeast with a some what fruity aftertaste. Better than some but not as good as most of its Belgian counterparts.

Apr 7, 2008 Bottle at Chaucer’s pub-Slightly hazy yellow liquid sits beneath a frothy, bleached white foam. Some lace. The nose is fairly spicy and hints at pears and apples, with fruity malts and lavender with some citrus. This tripel shows pears and banana with lemon custard and spices, leading into floral hops and an alcoholic twang. Quite the sipper, and more so as it warms, but tasty and a good bottle to share.

Apr 2, 2008 Pours a clear pale yellow color with a white head. Aroma is floral, herbal, spicy, grainy, malts, and spicy hops. Flavor is malty, herbal, floral, grainy, spicy hops, and a slight alcohol finish.

Apr 1, 2008 Solid tripel, but I am not a huge fan of the style - too sweet for me. This one is ok, maybe a little drier than I was expecting. ABV is there for sure. Would have liked it better if it wasnt quite so thin.

Mar 29, 2008 Oct. 2007 - Pour was golden yellow with smallish head but decent lacing. Aroma was sweet, bananas and pear. The flavor was also bananas, pear and other fruits, almost like the syrup left over after a fruit cocktail. Mouthfeel was likewise thick and oily, but with decent carbonation and a slight hop bitterness at the end to round it out. A little light on the spicings for a trip, but not bad.

Mar 24, 2008 12 oz. pours a medium gold with one finger head and great retention, good lacing. Aroma is a soft bouquet of orange, brown sugar and honey blossom. Palate is thin and wet despite the high alcohol, drinks like a white wine almost. Flavor is mild with orange, peach, honeysuckle and rose petal. Overall, shocked to find it’s a 9% abv, felt like a lightweight for a tripel. Was a nice treat, one that I shal soon indulge in again.

Mar 22, 2008 Pours light like other tripels. Very sweet and better than other trips ive had. Spices are noticable. Im not a huge fan of the style but this is better than most.
