Poured into a tulip with aromas of wheat and malts. Lacing head gives the beer a pleasant appearance with its golden body. Initial taste of bananas ended with a refreshing bitterness. Pretty good tripel.

A classic abbey style tripel. Good bitterness with a flowery aroma and taste. Maybe some spice to it as well.

Pours a hazy amber with nice lasting head. Aroma is intense citrus and spice. Tons of orange, lemon peel, and clove. Flavor is loaded with citrus and some sweetness. Balance is phenomenal. Palate is silky and full for the style. Excellent.

750ml Bottle: Aroma of flowers, fruit, spices, yeast, grass, coriander, apples, pear, and slight citrus. Poured golden/amber in color with a huge, rocky, pillowy, dense, off-white head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Very sparkling. Full of tiny particles throughout as well as a few medium-sized ones. Excellent lacing. Lightly sweet, light to medium bitter flavor. Tastes of yeast, fruit, spices, pears, apples, slight vanilla, malts, clove, and coriander. Medium body. Tingly, then chalky texture. Lively carbonation. Yeasty, fruit-sweet, chalky, dry finish.

Pours a deep hazy orange color with a big fluffy white head. Aroma is very nicely fruity and lightly spicy. Some citrus and banana notes with definite wheat. Flavor starts out with some straight up malt and sugar. Quickly gains a fruitiness that is mainly the banana yeast but with some mild citrus and even some tiny bubble gum notes. Finishes long and sweet but with some nice spices that keep it balanced. Medium body and average carbonation. Nice abbey tripel. Easy to drink and well balanced.

12 oz. bottle from Total Wine and More in Tampa. Aroma is very citrusy...quite nice. Color is honey colored. Thick head that dissipates slowly and leaves lacing all the way down the mug. Flavor is fairly mild, with a hint of alcohol. Definately flowery hops...little bit of citrus. Fairly tame on the palate...Overall I like it...very drinkable with pretty good flavor...The damn head never went away...I had to rinse the fizz out of the bottom of the mug...A good beer though. Nice drink.
