Jan 27, 2009 Bottled. Pours opaque honey with a foamy white head that quickly subsides and laces somewhat. Aroma is spicy yeast, banana-strawberry, hay, and slightly phenolic. Flavor is sweet yeast-clove, banana-strawberry and apple fruity, citric, slightly mandarin orange and woody. Due to multiple fermentations, which I have experimented with, the palate is a lighter and densely carbonated throughout giving a creamy feel but also a slight bite and lasting oily tingle atop the tongue. Not as good as a Golden Monkey.

Jan 26, 2009 Slightly hazy golden honey color. Thin whitish cover. Aroma is very yeasty, spicy, bananas and cloves, biscuits. Taste is spicy again, yeasty breadiness, sweet with a nice light fruit note.

Jan 26, 2009 Hazy golden color with a huge, fluffy white head that lasts forever. Nice lacing too. Taste is sweet and spicy like bannanas, cloves, oranges, and maybe a touch of honey. Alcohol is well-hidden and the palate is smooth with lively carbonation. Very drinkable and enjoyable.

Jan 25, 2009 Poured a deep golden color with orange hues. The head was white and fluffy. The aromas were so inviting! The backbone was really sweet yeast with scents of honey, oranges, and alcohol all melding together perfectly! The flavor was strong on the honey flavor, but the palate was very nice. Nice carbonation and easy to drink.

Jan 24, 2009 12 oz bottle: pours a hazy yellow gold with a nice sized white head. Lots of distinctly unibroue yeast aromas with a little grapefruit and apple citrus. Earthiness, bread, orange peel, green apples, corriander and yeast are all over my tongue bouncing off with lots of carbonation. The fruity tartness fades to a hint of alcohol in the finish. Very nicely done.

Jan 22, 2009 12oz bottle served in the 2ng gen smokestack chalice. This is a beer that I have drank lots of but never rated. Aroma of spicy bananas, candi sugar, vanilla, some tartness, and a some lemon. Hazy orange color with a smallish head. Taste is banana, light fruit, white pepper, and warming alcohol. There is a nice amount of maltiness, biscut, and light residual sugars to make it a nice, if slightly overattenuated, tripel. Easy to drink but full of flavor. The alcohol may be a little too warm, but the beer seems to be able to take it.

Jan 21, 2009 (bottle - 12 oz) Cloudy golden color with an inch of white fizzy head. Flavor is very yeasty and spicy, exactly like a Belgian tripel, with lots of citrus, cloves, banana, and other spices. Flavor is incredibly spicy and sweet at the beginning with lots of yeast, banana, clove, and anise. The alcohol blends well and mixes with the yeast and lightly grainy middle and a spicy and sweet finish. Leaves a crisp aftertaste. One incredibly tripel.
