dkachur (368), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Apr 27, 2008 Sampled in the presentation tent at WBF Raleigh. Pale straw color w/ medium head. Fruity bubblegum aroma. Very similar taste. Nicely balanced. wingman333 (149), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Mar 26, 2008 Draft in Hillsborough...not my favorite Belgian-style ale...watery in flavor and mouthfeel was flat. Pale in color, not fizzy. Also a bit sweeter than I like. jcwattsrugger (3377), New Jersey, USA Feb 9, 2008 on tap-pours a white head and gold color. Aroma is yeast-some banana, some spice. Taste is clean-yeast-some banana, some spice, sweet medium malt. Dry, good effervescence. jayg (946), Florida, USA Jan 11, 2008 On draft at new Irish pub in Durham that I forget the name of. Poured a clear darkish straw color with a thin white head. Nice sweet, clean aroma with a tad of spice. Taste is sweet as well, but not cloying nor overly syrupy in the mouth. A short, crisp finish with some light spice. Sometimes tripels from smaller brewies can taste like candy, but this is a decent effort. wilkie (1000), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA Dec 27, 2007 On tap at Players Retreat near NC State in Raleigh. Pours golden, little too clear, small white head. Aroma is yeasty with banana. Flavor is sort of typical, yeasty, banana flavor, little spicy. Taste is a little thin. All of the punch is in the aroma. Reminds me of North Coast Pranqster without the floaties.
