3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Just had a 25oz bottle of this from 2001, I found it in a variety case in a local beer distributor. it is called the gormet family of beers. The triple really mellowed out and was amazing

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
bottle - Pours dark amber with a moderate head. Citrus, yeast, and malt aroma. The flavor is sweet with some mild spice and citrus. Medium bodied and rather lively on the palate, it goes down easily with a warming 9% abv.
3.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Cloudy organe color with quick fading head. Awesome aroma of citrus, corriander, and clove. Light and lively pallete a bit too spicy on the tongue though. Sweet alcohol flavor with raisincitris and honey. I imagine this is similar to mead. Sweet and strong, not at all bitter. But a little too sweet
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle courtesy Sammy, bottled 03-03-2005. Hazy dark amber colour with a fully diminishing frothy off-white head. Heavy caramel and citrus aroma with spicy and yeasty notes. Citrus and candy sugar flavours, plus yeast and some light medicinal phenols and alcohol that distract but aren’t necessarily unpleasant. Medium bodied, syrupy mouthfeel. Sweetish dark tripel and I guess I prefer my tripels paler and drier.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: MAR 22, 2007 Pours a bright golden color with a big head. Smells nice, yeasty and bready with slight fruit and sweetness. NIce creamy mouthfeel as I have gotten used to with this style. I think they did a good job representing this style. It won’t knock your socks off but it’s still very good.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle courtesy of Adrian910ss: Poured a medium golden color ale with a small white bubbly head with minimal retention. Aroma of sweet malt with some alcohol. Taste is way too sweet for the style with some warming alcohol which didn’t really fit in there. Body was about average with some medium to low carbonation. Overall, I thought this beer was definitely off the style and way too sweet with some burning alcohol.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Classic tripel yeastiness and hearty spiciness in the nose, some alcohol, very true to style. Clear golden-orange body with a sticky eggshell head. Thick, syrupy mf with strong alcohol presence (but I do love the booze in muh tripels) and loads of yeast and spice (lots of clove) with some peach and apricot. Doughy malt and incisive lemon, light vanilla. Slightly harsh. Very warming, full-bodied and delicious. Medium-sweet, strongly sour to finish, with a medium-strong bitterness; overall, very robust. At this point, probably the best American-made tripel I’ve had.
