Pours hazy yellow orange with off white head. Aromas of bananas, dough and spices. Sweet flavor with spices and yeast. Medium body with average carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. Not bad, but there are so many better triples easily available.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tasting at Backus’ Backyard Bash. Hazy orange pour. Caramel brown sugar sweet malt aroma. Taste is malty, slightly thin and candy sugar sweet. Sweet tangy end to it. I thought it was a little too sweet, but still solid.

(Bottle). Fruity aroma, alcohol. Hazy orange body with lots of suspensions, small white head. Flavor is spicy and fruity, noticeable alcohol in the finish. Potent. Taste blend is not as pleasing or complex as, say, Chimay.

Bottle courtesy of the Merrit Island tasting hosted by mcbackus. Poured a hazy shated of orange. Aroma was spiced pears. Flavor was sweet up front, honey and fruits, followed by a bit of hops on the end. I love Belgians. This one was way decent!

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This was a 750ml bottle that was aged and cellared in my brother’s cellar. The bottle was dated 11/20/01. I can’t really remember where I bought this, but for some reason, I think I got it in Poughkeepsie, NY. This beer was opened in early September, 2008. Aroma is fruity, sweet, and berry-like with some brown sugar notes. Very aromatic and very pleasant. Quaffable. Cloudy, murkey, orange-amber body with a medium off-white/yellow head. Spritzy, spicy, estery yeast start with a slight astringency. Roasty, chewy malts in the middle with more dusty flavors late and a bit more spiciness follows. Nice stuff. Held up well.
