| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 24, 2008 (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. BeerVirgin72 (778), Pataskala, Ohio, USA

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! daknole (2885), Plantation, Florida, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 4, 2008 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. peter (385), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 1, 2008 Nose is slightly tart, clove and apple. Flavor has a crisp floral finish, with spices up front. Enjoyable, but thin. raphael (412), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 21, 2008 Fairly yellow, slightly clouds, thin white head. aromas of sugar, alcohol, dilute vinegar, nicely balanced sourness, like a less sweet sprite, light bodies for a trippel. joeyplush (333), Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 19, 2008 This beer looks great when it pours. A rich gold color, with a sparse white head. The aroma is fruity and hoppy, with evident alcohol. Taste has hints of citrus hops and slight apple/pear flavor. I expected the flavor to be a bit more robust based on the aroma. Overall, another very decent beer from Stoudt’s. nqualls (1429), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 4, 2008 Poured a gold color into a tulip glass with a small off white head. Aroma of fruit, and spices (cloves and nutmeg?). Flavor was very spicy with a warming alcohol hint at the end. Good tripel. I wouldn’t proclaim is as great though.
