Heat99 (56) - Austin, Texas, USA - NOV 27, 2001
Once again...a little too sweet for my taste. Appearance was golden, slightly cloudy with quickly dissapating head and lace. It had a strong sweet, malty and yeasty nose with a very similar taste followed by a bitter alcoholic flavor and aftertaste. It was enjoyable, but the overpowering sweetness was a bit much for my palate.

Although this was a pleasant drink, it was a disappointment. It tasted like fruit juice and was far to sweet for the style of beer. I wouldn’t get it again. Unlike other here though, mine had a good head.

40oz (181) - Newport Beach, California, USA - NOV 7, 2001
Strong fruity malty aroma. Hazy amber color and thick head that lasts nearly the entire beer. Strong sweet, malty, buttery, taste with a noticeable alcohol twang that is useful in helping to cut the sweetness. Lighter bodied than other Unibroue products. A tasty beer.

A very nice tripel with a hint of honey in the finish

TAR (2349) - Lafayette, Colorado, USA - OCT 3, 2001
UPDATED: FEB 19, 2003 750 ml. Hazy peach. Quick, fizzy, foam. Lovely peaches and cream aroma. Undertones of vanilla, dough, subtle leafy/earthy notes, alongside a light coconut/pineapple mixture. Very soft palate with a mild bottle conditioned feel. Dessert apple flavors paired with fig, caramel, honey, melon, with a delicious dollop of peaches and cream. Finishes lightly, before a mild burnt sugar sweetness, which adds tremendous depth. Unique and flavorful. This has one of the most delicious yeast characteristics in both aroma and flavor.

Brent (116) - Bowling Green, Kentucky, USA - SEP 27, 2001
Wow. Curiously fruity, in that I could not put a name to the assertive fruit aroma. Apricot? Alcohol kick is well balanced. A little sweet at the finish.

A very nice beer. Unusual in it’s style. Citrusy and wheaty.

I was expecting better. I found it quite like La Fin Du Monde only more spritzy.

fraternie (777) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - AUG 25, 2001
Straw colored body, a citrusy and almost wheaty flavor. As usual with Unibroue beers, excellent balance at the end. Moderate hop flavor. A very good ale.
