Cloudy golden brown with good, creamy white head / Skunky nose of sour bananas / Medium to full body, sweet and moderately thick malts, with fair finish / Flavors of musty, skunky fruit with caramel and spice notes / Not at all in character for a tripel - bad bottle?

Hazy yellow with medium white quickly dissipating head and particulates floating in the body. Aroma of ripe fruit, citrus, banana and orange. Taste of ripe fruit, mild alcohol, mild citrus and sugar. Finish is fruity and mildly chalky and oily and a bit sticky. Good but not great.

Amazing triple. So smooth and delicous. The pour had an off white head that was very thick. there was plenty of sediment in the golden hazy body. The aroma was sweet, full of citrus, wheat, and malt. The flavor was fruits (citrus), wheat, and alc. Very bubbly. Great beer though.

Pours a hazey yellow body, with a medium sized white head that is full of sweet floral aromas. It starts off semi dry and finishes with a sweet toffe flavored flavor.

Bottle poured a clear gold with a large lasting white head. Aromas of straw, pear, spice and light banana. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of straw, spice and pear with a crisp bittersweet finish.

Vinous sweet pear with some vanilla spice on the nose. Deep gold color, hints of orange, slight haze and huge long-lasting head with great lacing. Honey soaked pear, some white rum notes, deep balancing bitterness, some tart/sourness too. Full body, delicate but huge carbonation. Alcohol is very present, but the complexity of this beer carries the package nicely into a long finish. A must try!

hazy orange with white head. very fruity and spicy on the nose. ARoma is what distinguishes it from some other tripels. Fuity and vanilla flavour, alcohol nicely hidden. Overall a nice enough beer but I’m not a huge fan of tripel so I didn’t find it anything to get super excited about. (tasting with leffe tripel and bornem tripel, this one had best nose and most complex flavour by far)
