BuckNaked (1204), Tempe, Arizona, USA Jun 12, 2005 750ml bottle: Mostly clear golden yelllow with a large, frothy white head. Aroma is grass, slightly tart pears, with a hint of banana, a touch of lemon, and a bit of esters. Flavor is a mixture of light citrus, grass, and grain up front, followed by some light fruits, some yeast, spice, alcohol showing through, light malts, and a bit of pepper. Finishes dry with notes of light wood, grains, a bit of grassy hops, and a slight alcohol burn in the nose. Light to medium bodied, slick mouthfeel, moderate to high carbonation. MAP (1085), Lakewood, Ohio, USA Jun 10, 2005 Slightly hazy golden color with a nice big white foam head on top. Aroma is mostly grassy notes, not very sweet or citrus smelling. Flavor has a slight sugary taste to it, but its mostly a robust malt and medium citrus taste to it. Palate is rather dry, pretty good beer, but far from amazing. kook (2034), Perth, Western Australia, Australia Jun 7, 2005 Poured slightly hazy gold in colour, with a persistant white head. Aroma of pepper and spice, with some fruity esters and alcohol. Flavour is very fruity, lots of esters and spice. Alcohol does show more than I expected. Not a bad tripel though. MesandSim (5790), London, Greater London, England Jun 6, 2005 A Mes rate:
Oh how I wish I could have this on tap. Just about as good as tripels get in my opinion. Just like the regular St. Feuillien but with nobs on and oh what nobs they are! Downable and does the trick every time. Great stuff. Anyone who enjoys beer will love this. turbothy (717), Bonn, Germany Jun 2, 2005 Very light and sweet in spite of the alcohol. Fruity scent, large white lasting head. Pours straw yellow and goes down easily with a fresh and dry taste. heemer77 (4294), Savannah, Missouri, USA May 22, 2005 Sampled at a festival. Poured a light gold color with an aroma of pears and cinnamon. The mouthfeel is thick and full. The taste is dry apple cider with some black pepper spice in the finish. A little on the dry side for a tripel. Mklein818 (165), Etterbeek, Virginia, Belgium May 12, 2005 Nice mix of spice, fruitiness, Tripel strength and a touch of bitterness. Great aroma and great texture... Papsoe (14613), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 3, 2005 Updated: Jun 10, 2005(Bottle 75 cl) Well, I guess this is what I usually refer to as Pilsener-golden, but slightly hazy. Gigantic head which is also very sturdy. Quite full, soft and sweet with a lovely malty flavor that makes me think of grains. My friend Anne Holst thinks it deserves a straight 4, but I’m a bit more modest.... 110603
