3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 Gachupines (471) - USA - APR 30, 2006
Light brown with a lingering white head. Taste is pleasant, strong but not overpowering. Banana, some spice, and yeast are dominate flavors. Alcohol is noticeable but not overpowering. Pretty decent, but still not among the best triples I’ve had.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 yayforbeer (733) - Orange Park, Florida, USA - APR 26, 2006
Bottled 3/22/06. Might benefit from a little more aging. Pour is bright orange with a short lived white head. Aroma is bubblegum and alcohol, even a whiff of model airplane glue. Flavor is candy sweetness, melon, a little yeastiness, spice, and some hop bitterness. The alcohol really shines through. Tastes like more than 9% which is odd because the Stoudt’s Fat Dog Imperial stout is also 9% and the Double IPA is 10.6% and I don’t taste the alcohol in them at all. I’m a fan of good Belgian triples and while this is fairly good, it slightly misses the mark. If this were $8 a sixer like in Boca Raton, it would be fine, but at $13.99 at Broudy’s, Orange Park FL it’s not worth the admission.

3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Bosco (112) - Boca Raton, Florida, USA - APR 18, 2006
Pours cloudy orange with little head and decent lace. OK, so I get the melon part but no clove here...sorry.
The description: "spicy and fruit-like" should have warned me that this was not my type of beer. Abbey lovers should enjoy this one.
$8/sixer in Boca Raton

reddish amber pour with no head...aroma is of spices and fruits galore infused with sugar...flavor is quite similar and opens up well after it warms up...nice and sweet, with big hints of fruit and spice, some lemon wit characteristics, with subtle hints of yeast and alcohol...nice palate
