| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 3, 2006 66th percentile? This one has a lemony zest with a nice tingly mouthfeel and a floating floral aroma. I don’t detect the 9% alcohol at all. The aftertaste has some hoppy bitterness to it with a grassiness inherent in it. For a tripel it doesn’t seem like this has much of a kick but its very well balanced. I know I like it when I want it again. I also know I want to go back to Shangys. crazyvin (1250), New York, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 14, 2006 Plenty of tannins, orange peel and a light spiciness in the malty caramel and toffee heavy aroma. Opaque tan body is topped by a decent though fizzy, white head that recedes to a thin cover. Tannins are rich in the surprisingly sweet flavour along with orange citrus character and a light chalkiness. Bitterness is but an afterthought and is quickly enveloped by the lasting sweet after taste. Alcohol is never apparent. Medium body with moderate carbonation that is lively on the tongue and cheeks. Chalice. Cellar temperature. Bottle (trade, Mar-05). Thanks, DocLock! ehhdayton (1113), USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 7, 2006 There is a light orange peel aroma with a slight hint of caramel. The body is golden and very clear. Upon the pour the head is of significant size and duration is nearly fully lasting. At first there is a slight caramel sweetness which rounds out to a mild hop bitterness. The finish on the palate is light and refreshing.
