| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 4, 2010 Pours a light orange, yellow haze. Some life to it. Thin head with lacing. Smells of banana and spice. Sweet and bitter mix, with a banana aftertaste. A bit on the dry side. Creamy and medium bodied. Good beer, but I generally do not enjoy beers with the banana notes, so I have to knock it down a bit, for me. pilgrimoutlaw (39), Wayne, Pennsylvania, USA

This came off more like a saison than a tripel. If you told me this was hennipen I would not have been suprised. Nice spiciness, lighter blonde pour. Good mouthfeel. Good beer jjuf1853 (512), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 10, 2010 Draft at International Beer Garten (Lutz, FL). Pours a slightly cloudy pale yellow with a foamy white head. Aroma of yeast, sugar and spices. The alcohol is noticeable but not too overpowering. Nice balance between the sweet maltiness and hop bitterness. fogdoctor (39), Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 16/20 | Jan 8, 2010 Cold in a pint glass. Pours slightly cloudy yellow/orange with strong carbonation leading to a fluffy head that disappears quickly. Strong banana, citrus, yeast, spice, and green apple aromas with a hint of alcohol. The taste has a peppery kick at the back of your throat with, some sweet apple/banana flavors, and finally mind earthyness at the end. Its a nice beer thats easy to drink. Not quite as complex and balanced as that best but good nonetheless. Its also local so I can get it cheap. The only place it falls short if you drink it young is the mouth feel is a little lacking. I like the tripels that stick a little and this one just does not coat your mouth. It you let it mature about 12 months its better blended the mouth feel does not improve. Regardless, its an easy drinker thats one of my regulars.
