Skyview (2906), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Aug 20, 2007 On draught at the brewpub in Madison, Wisconsin. Pours a semi-clear golden pale brew with an average sized white head that slowly dissolves to a film and white ring. Nice spotty lacing for a Tripel. Aroma of light sweet banana esters, candi sugar, caramel malt, a touch of bubblegum and some citrusy hops. Taste is medium to full bodied, very light carbonation with some tropical fruit character. Finish has a very high alcohol warmth, sweet flavor with no bitter aftertaste. The 10% ABV really packs a punch in this Tripel.
phishpond417 (1459), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jun 4, 2008 Pours a hazey golden colour with a full white head. Sticky lacing, Aromas of pears, bananna and wheat. Taste is sweet and easily disguises the high ABV. Great beer all around. madcow75 (413), Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, USA May 23, 2008 Draft at the brewery. Pours lightly hazy yellow with almost no head. Aroma of yeast and fruit. Taste is pretty much the same, some lemons, orange, cloves and some banana coming through. Nice and light I thought. I’m not usually a fan of this style, but I dig this interpretation of it. Gurst (328), Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA Mar 17, 2008 Warm syrup and alcohol hit the nose and tongue. Sweet, with hints of grape, prune, lemon, honey, and olive oil. Ends with citrus and alcohol. Thick, syrupy body compliments the fruit and alcohol mood. egajdzis (3021), Terrapin, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 10, 2008 Poured a lightly hazy orange amber color with a small ring of white bubbles, light lacing left on the glass. Aroma of banana, citrus fruits, yeast, and some candi sugar. Taste of honey, sweeter candi sugar, banana, light clove, yeast, and a bit of alcohol in the finish. Petrucci914 (374), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Nov 18, 2007 Pours a yellow-bronze color with a thick pillowy head and plenty of lacing. Aroma is yeasty with hints of wheat and banana/clove. Taste is fruity with hints of banana and yeast. Very easy drinking for 9.7% alcohol!
