sneagrams3 (1704), St. Louis, Missouri, USA Oct 28, 2009 The Dan Journal #274. Tasted 7/11/09. 12oz bottle. Hazy with a straw golden hue. Big perfumy nose with nuances of citrus and melons. Rather full bodied with a very zesty palate. Super bright effervescence. Totally gum tingling. Nice citrus, peppery hop note. Lingering, yet dry finish.

Nice foam! checkmatei1 (629), Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 8, 2009 Bottle: Pours an orange color with a white head. The aroma was yeast, sweet malts and spice.

Pours a hazy orange body with an off white head. Spicy yeast y notes, grassy, earthy light pepper. Floral fruit with a mild warming. Hints of citrus apples and clove. Good stuff. ChainGangGuy (2523), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Sep 27, 2009 12 ounce bottle - $2.79 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours out a hazed, golden-orange body with a particularly tall, foamy, off-white head, Frothy-looking lacing on the way down.
Smell: Sweet-smelling nose of bready pale malts, chipped bubblegum, tangy malted wheat, pulped ripe banana, and powdered spices.
Taste: Sweet, tangy mixture of bready, doughy barley and wheat layered in well-crushed rock candy. Fruity blend of pears and juiced bananas liberally seasoned with earthy cracked cloves and even coriander. Light hop character with an equally light bitterness. Peppery alcohol kicks on the back half. Finishes dry, spicy, and warming.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel.
Drinkability: A slow-sipping, acceptable American-born tripel, though I’m quietly reminded why I haven’t regularly purchased this one in the few years since I first tried it. LooseCannon (914), Norfolk, Virginia, USA Sep 21, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours clear golden in color with thin white head. Aroma yeasty, sweet and spicy. Taste yeasty, spicy and sweet with dry finish. grawk (11), Glen Rock, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 16, 2009 A very good example of a belgian triple in the US. I’d really like it if they came out with an aged variant, or one in a 750ml bottle more suitable for aging. kopher (294), New York, USA Sep 16, 2009 almost clear yellow orange with fine offwhite head.
