3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Thanks to Santa FooFaa! A hazy medium-dark amber color with a small beige head. Very sweet with thick malts, spicy undertones, ginger. Sweet malts, yet a mineraly tang to it as well. Chewy feel, alcohol noticeable in the follow. I couldn’t drink much more than 1 bottle of this.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: MAR 20, 2006 Via MullMan. The beer pours to a very murky amber body with noticeable particulate matter. An off-white head sits atop the beer. The aroma is yeasty and melons. The flavor is cloves, yeast, muskmellon, black pepper. Spicy and medium bodied. Eh... 6, 2, 6, 3, 12 = 2.9
Rerate: The beer has a nice glowing amber body with a white head. The aroma is like I remember. The flavor is a really spicy pepper, yeast. The palate is spicy, alcoholic, lots of carbonation. 6, 3, 7, 3, 13 = 3.2

Cloudy dark orange, almost brown pour, with a small white head. Definitely a whiff of the alcohol in the aroma, but get past that, there is some fruitiness, with some banana, yeast and I believe watermelon of all things. Creamy mouthfeel, and again with the booze, almost burning, some spicy pepperiness along with some more banana and some citrus. Pretty quick finish, more spicy than sweet, heavy on the yeast. Not as balanced as I would like, but a pretty solid tripel.

Definitely enjoyed this beer -- a bit sticky, but very full. Darker/amber color and has more body than a normal westmalle type tripel, but lacks the hoppish pop, I thought. On draught.

Pours amber. Aroma of malt and citrus. Taste is sweet. Citrus and honey. A bit sweeter than most triples. A good beer but not great.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Really disappointed by this example of the style. Cloyingly sweet and no hint of alcohol- something I would look for in this tyle.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a light amber/ dark straw with a lasting white soapy head. Aroma is of sweet mangos and tangerines with a hint of corriander. Nice. The body is on the heavier side of the style, not refreshing, more like a strong golden. The Flavor is very sweet with lots of candied oranges and honey. A bit cloying in the finish. No hop character at all. A bit under-attenuated and as such lacking the refreshing character that I look for in the style as one would find in Cinq Cents, and Karmeliet Tripple.

Bottle. Never had this style before, but it is good. Sweet and fruity with a mellow aftertaste, light alcohol taste even with 9%.
