Sregnar35 (729), Rotterdam, New York, USA Nov 2, 2006 Pours a strawberry yellow with a lingering pool of white. Aroma is very nice and spicy, very fresh. Flavor tangy and unpleasant, gets better as I got used to it, but that never is a good thing. thedm (3833), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Nov 1, 2006 This bottled brew from Aofoxxy at a rating party poured a small sized head of medium sized bubbles that was fully diminished and left behind a transparent uncarbonated light yellow-orange colored body and a poor lacing. The aroma was malty sweet orange peel and dough. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and strongly tingly at the finish caramel aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of sweet mildly vinous and mild caramel. A decent one that I would consider having again. zathrus13 (1288), Mount Laurel, New Jersey, USA Oct 22, 2006 Golden, with a small, white head. Aromas are yeast, fruit, and hops. Flavors are hops, sugar, fruit, and yeast. Not a bad beer, but it’s not a tripel, to me. sheatripper (863), Brooklyn, New York, USA Oct 20, 2006 Bomber. Slightly hazy amber with a fluffy white head. Aroma of sweet caramel and cookie malts, candy corn and hops. Caramel malty sweetness with some spice and very apparent, even distracting, citrusy hops. Some alcohol noticeable on the finish but mostly well hidden. Palate smooth though with a bit of annoying fizziness. More American IPA characteristics than those of a Belgian ale. Tmoney99 (4652), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Oct 15, 2006 Bottle sample at Cliffton Beer Fest. Poured dark brown with an average frothy brown head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate roasted malt and hop aroma. Medium to full body with a slick texture. Medium balanced flavor with a medium biitersweet finish of moderate duration. apoptosis (1316), Long Island, New York, USA Oct 3, 2006 This beer is very lightly colored, crystal clear (ie - not filtered) with nearly no head at all. It is so very hoppy for a tripel - it smells more like an imperial IPA, with slightly more malts perhaps. It does have some interesting spices in the flavor, but again, it is soooo hoppy. It is also very hot and astringent. The alcohol is very evident. hotstuff (3175), Indiana, USA Sep 29, 2006 Bottle. Small white head that was mostly lasting with a fair amount of lacing, no visible carbonation, transparent, and a yellow hue. Nose was some hint of licorice, honey, sugary, apples, and alcohol. Flavor was sweet, honey, fruity, and sugary. Smooth mouthfeel. Medium body. wnhay (722), Princeton, New Jersey, USA Sep 28, 2006 Poured golden with a thin white head. Aroma had cloves, apple and candy fruit. Taste was rather weak for the style. Dissapointing in my opinion.
