3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 13/20 McGarnigle (443) - Rochester, New York, USA - FEB 4, 2009
Bottle best before 15 09 08, so am i several months late? Pours light golden, hazy, with white head with great longevity. You can hear it fizzing. Medium body, fruit/bubblegum aroma. Smooooth body. This is a somewhat mellow tripel, of oranges and honey, lightly hopped of course. Probably would be better appreciated if it didn’t cost so much here in the States. Classy Belgian.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 gmonroe10 (175) - NETHERLANDS - JAN 8, 2009
Bottle. Pours a cloudy light amber with a nice medium tight white head. Nose is a bit sweet, overripe raisins, apricots just a tease of alcohol. Taste is a sweet and a bit spiced, a soft caramel as well. Finish is lingering pleasant bitter. Very nice.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 GT2 (3434) - Washington DC, USA - JAN 3, 2009
330 mL. Pours a hazy bright yellow with a thin white head that has good retention and lacing. Yeasty, fruity, and malty aroma. Taste is very malty for a tripel with the addition of citrus, marzipan, some spice, and vanilla. Nice, dry finish. A little disappointing but I’m glad I found it in the States. Not as fruity or as strong as other tripels but still excellent.

Bottle. Sweetish, banana aroma, sems like a cross between a tripel and a wheat beeer. a touch of almond or marzipan in there too.

UPDATED: JUN 3, 2011 A big beer. Golden amber with strong white head. Aroma of flowers and citrus. Full bodied, balanced hoppy bitterness with citrus background. Decent.

A huge and distressingly long last head is light gold. The beer is a dirty orange. Foam leaves a sticky layered lacing. Pleasant aroma is sweet fruit and yeast. Taste is similar adding some alcohol. Very sweet but no candy sugar. This is delectable and dangerously easy to drink.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden-orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is a bit more spicy than most tripels, but I also got the usual citrus, vanilla, banana, and yeast notes as well. Taste is spicy, with the same as the aroma, detectable citrus, vanilla, banana, and yeast notes. Detectable hops on the back. Pretty much your run-of-the-mill tripel, and not as strong as I’d hoped it would be.
