3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A cloudy golden orange pour with aromas of banana yeast and clove. A quickly disappearing head that doesn’t lace too well. Sweetness on the tongue with orange and clover. Overall not the best finishes which makes it a bit a disappointing. Overall still enjoyed though!
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 7/20
Deep gold color, opaque. Nice head and citrusy aroma. Belgian ale type flavor with citrus and slightly set backbone. Not overly malty. Smooth flavor with very little aftertaste.

Uploading old ratings that were missing comments. Boozy and fruity. A little unbalanced.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A lees potent version of the Quad (still 9.3%). Lighter in color, not quite a sweet, but still not hoppy. Great Tripel.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours copper-blonde with a fairly small head for a tripel. Nose is lightly burned and a combination of sugar and hops. Flavor is fairly thin and slightly fruity with a bit of booze. Finish is fast and bland. Boring.

12 Fl. Oz. Bottle.Poured a cloudy gold with a little white head and a lot of carbonation. Aroma of coriander, fruits, caramel malts and a bit of alcohol. Taste very much the same, quite sweet complex balanced flavors a bit of hops and some kick from alcohol. Nice and enjoyable and IMHO a good representation of the style.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Distinctive Belgian yeast, sugary malts, medium bodied, mildly floral.

The first thing standing out about Weyerbacher Merry Monks is the unrelenting effervescence. A myriad of micro bubbles race through the sparkling clear Tripel to reach the creamy white head. Yeast, banana, and bread dominate the aroma. After a sip, sweet grapes come to the forefront, buttered toast, followed by just enough hops to balance. Gets sweeter, dryer, and the 9.3% is more evident as it warms.
Really enjoying this. I do get the slightest hint of skunk, but with no date, hard to tell if it’s normal. Still, this is one to enjoy.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Crystal golden-yellow body, large white head, solid lacing. Classic Belgian triple, yeast, esters, banana, wheat, clove. Assertive carbonation, medium bodied. A bit astringent. An acceptable representative of the style.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Had in both 12 oz bottle and bottle conditioned. Strong yeast, lemon, flavor. Much more mellow than 12 oz bottle but great flavor and great mouthful. Alcohol seems a little stronger than 12 oz bottle, warms the back of the throat. Pretty tart. Very good, two different experiences between the bottles. Worth a try to get both.
