| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 10, 2009 Hazy bight gold with lots off fast moving carbonation. A huge off white head is very dense in my glass. The aroma has some funky pears and cinnamon. There is a nice pleasing old cellar candi sugar note. The taste has some strong leathery funk notes with that candi sugar. There is also some pear core and cinnamon. Highly carbonated and heavy in the mouth. Decent, but only for those that want a funky sweet tripel with a thick body. BeerBlockaid (548), Jacksonville, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 17, 2009 Pours either a translucent gold, or, if u cause a commotion, a cloudy golden colour. Excellent white head, retains well in the tulip. Yeasty and citric aroma. Taste is smooth, chewy, yeasty, with pleasant bouquets, peach nectar, citrus, and a slight sourness. It’s very enjoyable and I am glad that more of the micro-ameros are making beyond the use and the hop’d. KornDogg (226), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 13, 2009 From a bottle purchased in 2005 or 2006. Sits a maple sugar reddish-brown. Transparent. The aroma is very fruity. It ignites with pineapples, peaches, almonds, vanilla and banana. Flavour has wisps of peaches and almonds. There is a sour tang over a bitter, yeasty base. Alcohol is evident. The aftertaste is a lasting sour tang. My mouth stays slippery, although it threatens to dry out. An imperfect flavour matched with a mouthwatering aroma. This is the most I have enjoyed a beer within my recent memory. jmm635 (272), Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 13, 2009 Poured a golden/orange color with a very nice white head that lasts and lasts. Strong yeasty aroma with a bright citrus smell, mostly oranges. Similar flavors, but less intense. The alcohol tingles the tongue and the back of the throat in a very nice way. This is a really nice beer. Where is the love? Hophead22 (1105), Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jan 31, 2009 Ah, nice sweet yeast aroma. Holy s%^t this beer has a wonderful yeast aroma. Very pungent and sweet. I love the aroma. Nice dense haze color that is great to look at. This beer has a nice tight head sitting on top that hasn’t faded away. Nice yeast taste. This has an extremely strong yeast taste. This beer is very good, and I don’t understand why there is such a low score. Nice smooth palate. Just a very good sweet/fruity and stong yeast tasting beer. coharahawk (87), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 31, 2009 Draft at Oldsmar Tap House. I have had this beer several times, so I was suggesting this to many people at the bar who were looking for direction. Had lots of positive feedback for the beer, and a lot of very drunk people. Pour is golden with creamy white head. Aroma dominated by belgian yeast and fruity esters. Flavor is again belgian yeast with very prominent candy/sugary character. Mouthfeel is decent. Very slight astringency in the finish, but this is a very dangerous beer. Not much hint of 9.3%. I really like this one, and think it is somewhat underrated.
