Fruity, floral and lemony nose-light spice as well. bigtime spice on the flavors-fruit (peach, pear, green apple). short finish-somewhat grainy with lingering notes of black pepper and pear. body is perfect and the carbonation is not too high like most of the style. basil? WTF? gives a peppery flavor in the profile. cool beer!

bottle pours hazy gold with an ample white head. Nose is very aromatic with the basil. Taste has an underlying sweetness that molds well with the basil and some other flowers. Body is slightly creamy but full.

Draft at Moriartys. Tulip. Hazy light orange pour with just a thin fizzy ring. Dryer grassy Tripel than most. Tangerines. Pineapples. Fresh grass. Wildflower honey. Celery hearts. Palm fronds. Can also easily taste the influence of both the rice and the Thai basil. Like a basil infused sake was added to the mix. Still actually works as a proper Tripel. Style of its own.

Draft at Sweetgrass. Cloudy golden pour with a fluffy white head. Spicy, herbal aroma with banana esters and sweet maltiness. Similar sweet estery flavor, but the basil and herbs tend to shine through more with a moderately carbonated body. Pretty tasty.

750ml Bottle @ Earl of Essex 2013/4/17 Lots of brett here there and everywhere. Got the basil. Dry as you would expect. Impressive but not to my taste.

Overall a very good Tripple but not a great one. Very enjoyable. Very frothy. Very balanced alcohol level. Surprised it was even 8.1. Well done there. Good fruit an spice. Just didn't blow me away.

Tasted this on tap at the 8th Street Ale Haus in Sheboygan, Wisconsin so I didn’t get great notes. Malty without being boozy.

On tap at Mayor of Old Town. Gold and clear with a white head. The aroma is fruity with spices, herbs and Belgian yeast. Similar flavor with light bitterness and a dry finish. Light to medium body with a smooth feel that hides the ABV. Pretty refreshing trip.

Golden in color with a very large fluffy head. Aroma is spice,yeast,citrus and basil. Nice flavor and different from most tripels I think the basil gives almost the same notes as hops.

Defintely one of top fave trippel from The Bruery. So much so that I sought out to get a couple of more bottles to lay down for later. The aroma & thick head on this trippel blew me away.

Bottle pours a reddish-gold with a thin white head. Retention and lacing are lacking. Sweet herbaceous aroma with hints of pear, pineapple, apricot, and apple. Silky smooth mouthfeel. Tastes like a Belgian golden ale: fruity Belgian yeast, pepper, lots of citrusy fruit. Don't get much of the basil or rice, but there is something different and smooth about this beer.
