alagnak (296), Littleton, Colorado, USA Nov 1, 2009 750 from Tony’s. Nose is decent, nice yeast and spices. Flavor, well, it’s kind of everywhere - first a big hit of orange peel and wit spices, then pleasant yeasty Tripel goodness, then a boozy sweet peaches and cream finish. I wasnt a big fan of this one. mjs (1446), Helsinki, Finland Oct 30, 2009 (Draught) Poured orange and cloudy with medium sized, long lasting and white head. Aroma of sweetness, honey and lightly hops. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Tasted of hops, pine, fruitiness, sweetness and bitterness. Hops and pine in aftertaste. blklab2007 (938), Connecticut, USA Oct 28, 2009 bottle poured a golden amber in color with a covering of white foam and steady heavy carbonation. aroma has heavy yeast, light spices, some herbs, and light hops. mouth feel is prickly from the carbonation frothing up an otherwise thin mouth feel. flavor hits off with hefty yeast, basil, pepper, and has some light rich fruit. there is a little bite to this and it does have lots of interesting flavors for the style. mgumby10 (1844), Jupiter, Florida, USA Oct 22, 2009 Pours a deep gold color, with a nice fluffy white head, nice lacing. Smells of sweet citrus fruits, candy sugar, and mild spices. The flavor is more on the fruity sweet side than the candy sugar sweet side, although it is there somewhat. Lots of sticky sweet fruits like plums or peaches in there. Nice full body for a tripel, and not overlyboring like most tripels. Well done. Leighton (234), New York, New York, USA Oct 21, 2009 Had a goblet from the tap at Jimmy’s No. 43 in NYC. Poured a lovely amber-gold, just a bit hazy, with a lingering pure white head. Nose of spice and yeast. Flavor is deep, a touch sour on the front, then complex with some fruitiness to go with sweet caramel and maple syrup. Decent alcohol character, enough to warm the mouth and add complexity to the flavor. Nice bitterness in the end. Good beer. Dedollewaitor (3625), Odense, Denmark Oct 19, 2009 Bottle @ HjHansen, Odense. Pours hazy orange with a creamy lasting white head and lacings. Very complex and inviting nose and taste of yeast, orange, hops and coriander. Full bodied. Warmth from alcohol. Nice Skinnyviking (4142), Copenhagen, Denmark Oct 17, 2009 Bottle. High and long lasting creamy white head. Hazy orange body. Powerful grapefruit pine alcohol hops aroma. Lemon coriander grapefruit flavor with a dry and dusty note that I cannot quite figure out. Not unpleasant though. Alcohol level seems just right. Low carbonation, long and complex bitter aftertaste. ChristianScheffel (4431), Odense, Denmark Oct 17, 2009 Cloudy orange with a lasting white head. Strong and complex phenolic and spicy aroma, with citrus and pineapple notes. Sweetish spicy flavour with herbal hop notes and a little bitterness, some yeast and warming alcohol. Really complex and delicious
