Commercial Description:
This golden hued ale is marked by passion fruit and herbal notes in the aroma, with subtle suggestions of banana and honey surfacing from its deep and complex palate. The Tripel's finish is remarkably long and soothing.

Bottle. Fantastic balance in this aroma. Caramel malt, lemon hops, and a moldy basement for the yeast. I also noted an undescribable spice, and pumpkin. Head is very fizzy, white and thick which diminishes slightly and has excellent lacing. It poured crystal clear amber in the begining, then got hazier as I went deeper into the bottle. Taste starts lightly sweet and moderately acidic, then the long finish is lightly sweet and bitter and moderately acidic and just a touch sour. Palate is light to medium, between watery and oily and has a lively carbonation. It finishes slightly astringent. If Belgian tripels were my favorite style the overall score could’ve easily been an 18 or 19.

Pours a hazy golden colour with a frothy rocky off white head. Aroma is clovey, ripe fruits, grassy, yeast and hints of spice. Initial taste is sweet, apple & heavy clove. Finshing with a banana, yeast and bitter hops on the palate. Palate duration is good, nice lacing of the glass, and good head retention. Sticky mouthfeel.

750, corked and caged. Pours a cloudy and very dark straw color with a towering, foamy platinum blonde head. Rings of sedimentary lace. Soft, sugary nose: fruity, definite pitted tree fruit there of the red variety. Cotton candy as well. Smells suspiciouly like their Grand Cru, in fact. Medium body, soft carb, hides the alcohol well. Has a tart crispness that the Grand Cru gets by without; that would be the primary difference between the two. Not much finish. Not all that exciting a beer.

Caged and corked, batch #97. Poured a nice yellow-tinged orange with a thin but sustained head. The aroma is lightly yeasty and moderately induced with citrus. The drink is musty and earthy with a creamy tone. Banana, yeast, corriander, maybe a hint of ginger, grass, grape cider. Very nice. (#3058, 8/17/2007)

sampled at brookline liquor mart, alchol too strong and overpowed taste and smell, hard to pick up grain notes over fruity tone.
