Appearance: Dark Pear like hue, clouded body with a major carbonation flow along with an overwhelming fizzly white head...as I left the smallest portion in the bottle....and once I mixed the dregs up I poured the dregs from the bottom in which brown pieces of yeast sprinkled the head like cinnamon on your latte
Smell: Massive array of citrus fruits...from pear to peach, apricot to mango, mango to star fruit....followed up by strong peppery and flower phenols...
Taste: quite similar to the smell....a robust citrus fruit appeal, follewed by a well introduced Mr. Yeast...banana seemed to makes its impression as well....nice cider like feel with a vinegar malty backbone....just great complexity
Notes: This is a well crafted brew...with all the complex characteristics it remains very very balanced...great stuff

Oct 3, 2008 From bottle. Pours cloudy dark golden with a thick white head. Standard tripel aromas of yeast, banana, spices and citrus.
Flavors include spice, caramel and floral hops. Very nice.

Oct 1, 2008 750 ml. bottle. Pours a thickish quickly deflating head, lovely lacing, color is pale yellow but cloudy...nose is belgian yeast spice, some cardamom, no hop....taste initially of carbonation then mild sweet malts with accompanying banana tones, finishing with mild hop bitterness, sweet and bitter well balanced....mouth feel appropriate to style.

Sep 26, 2008 A decent beer, but disappointing when put next to the 12. Has most of the characteristics of the BT, but in subtler terms. Creaminess, wheat, and other vague goodness with perfect carbonation level. Recommended, nevertheless, get the 12 if available, as in my experience it is only about 10% more in price.

Sep 26, 2008 Pours a pale hazy yellow with a two finger creamy white head. the nose is earthy, Belgian, musty, sweet, light alcohol, no spice. The flavor earthy, lightly sweet, slightly off tasting, musty, malty, candy, light alcohol. The palate is crisp with a light bite.

Sep 23, 2008 The carbonation is in perpetual and random motion in this dark golden cloudy ale, with its thick white head. The complexity of flavors, sweet, meadows, bitter, even sour, keeps me interested and coming back. A real fine trippel.
