| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 25, 2008 Poured a cloudy amber color with a little bit of white head resting at the top. The head didn’t last all that long, but a thin layer of lace was left behind on the glass.
Smells a bit fruity and hoppy and an underlying bananna scent.
The taste is much the same, the bananna flavor and the hops... Tastes a little wheaty as well.
The carbonation level seemed adequate, a nice full body in the mouth. The over all palatial experience was excellent.
I wouldn’t mind drinking this one down more regularly.

2007 Bottle poured into a Duvel glass white fluffy head turns to thick lace on top of an apricot body
Aromas of bananas and spices very typical in nose for a triple
Flavors are a bit overwhelmed by the banana (Yeast) you get some spiciness to it but it could be more pronounced
Mouthfeel is spot on for the style but it could use a bit more carbonation for my taste
This is a good American try at a triple. I think the brew still need to be tweaked a little, to be up to the other awesome brews I have had from Stoudt’s

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 10, 2008 Hazy dark gold body with a lightly off white head. The aroma is like heated peach cobbler with some nice cinnamon and biscuits. There is also some clean laundry soap. The taste has some dry notes of cinnamon and banana peels. A little bit of nasty plastic. An ok beer, but the strange finish throws of fthe whole thing. Brewer101 (162), New Jersey, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 9, 2008 Not a bad Abbey Tripel. It was a little too bitter, too much yeasty flavor. Pours a golden color with moderate head. The flavor grew on me but nothing too great. But for 9%, who can complain. Worth Trying. mgumby10 (1850), Jupiter, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 3, 2008 Pours a fairly cloudy orange with a small white head. Smells of some musty citrus fruit, a little candy sugar and spice. Nothing too inviting. Flavor is pretty rich and syrupy, with a pretty heavy and noticeable dose of alcohol attacking right up front and not letting up. Get some sharp bitter orange citrus fruit and syrupy sugars. A little too bitter for a tripel for me, and seemingly a bit overdone. Not a style I usually get excited about in the first place, but this beer was disappointing. sunevdj (1770), Copenhagen OE, Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 28, 2008 Pours a clearish golden with a white head. Very sweet with bitterness kicking in half-way through. Hint of citrus. Bready. High carbonation. obguthr (1011), Poquoson, Virginia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 1/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Apr 26, 2008 NIce banana aroma, not strong. Cloudy amber, floaties, no head. Orange, lemon, and clove flavor. Great cilantro finish. Medium body, slightly phenolic, well balanced. FatTony (121), Augusta, Georgia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 23, 2008 12 ounce bottle- pours a golden orange color with a moderate and long lasting head. Aroma was citrus and fruit. Taste was a suprisingly sweet fruit blend with apples and cherries in the fore. A touch thin bodied, but all-in-all a good solid brew.
