| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 22, 2009 12oz bottle courtesy of mfielden. Pours a generally clear golden amber color with thin white head that settles quickly. Aroma is sweet and floral with notes of ripe apricots, floral hops, honey, caramel, and spice. Flavor is sweet and hoppy with notes of citrus, lemon, grapefruit, honey, and spice. Generally light to medium body with a bitter floral hop finish. WAY too hoppy for a tripel style ale but not surprising given that Stone was involved. I agree with beardface that this is NOT the caliber of beer I would expect from these brewers. Truly disappointing given the style. Beardface (1036), Eugene, Oregon, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 22, 2009 Sampled at the KLCC Microbrew festival. Light golden pour with a big white head. Very spicy aroma with a bit of sweet maltiness to it as well. Much hoppier than your typical Tripel, but with a nice yeast and malt backing as well. Not a bad beer, but not what I’d expect from a collaboration of these three breweries. GMUcrew7 (377), Mason, Ohio, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 22, 2009 Pours golden color with small white head. Sweet malt, yeast, spices and fruit (apricot or peach). Well balanced flavor, very yeasty, with caramel malt and a peachy, hoppy finish. In my opinion this is underrated, maybe expectations are a little too high for a collaboration between two great breweries and third that I intend to learn more about.

Pours a light hazy gold with a 3 finger white head that leaves delicate lacing. The nose is floral & citrus hops and malt. The taste is sweet citrus hops, caramel and malt with a dry hoppy finish. Medium bodied. Decent brew, though not to style. Thanks Jason!! FezMonkey (268), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 20, 2009 Uhmm. The nose gives me great expectations - sweet and spiced. Pours golden yellow with a small rocky white diminishing head and a hazy, cloudy body. Aroma of grain, caramel, flowers, perfume, oranges and lots of coriander. Medium/full body. The flavor is heavy sweet and light bitter in the finish. Odeed (1680), Bakersfield, California, USA
