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.

Pours hazy dark golden color with white head. Aromas of bread dough, bananas, citrus. Sweet flavor with Belgian yeast, citrus fruit and spices. Medium body with llively carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. One of the better Belgian tripels.

750ml bottle. Cloudy amber with a thin head. Light belgian yeast nose. Some spices and fruity flavors combine nicely with a yeasty malty finish. Maybe not my favorite triple ever but a solid beer.

Poured from a 750ml caged and corked bottle and served in a tulip. This beer poured a hazy, golden orange hue with a lasting head of creamy off-white foam. A decent coat of lacing was left around the glass. The aroma of the beer was made up of fresh orange peel, honey, pale malts, and lightly peppery yeast esthers. The flavor included bananas, orange peel, light honey, and light caramel. No trace of alcohol until a slight warmth at the finish. The mouthfeel is round and full-bodied with a nice crisp feel from some assertive carbonation. A really well crafted brew. Tasty stuff!

[Bottle] Pours a hazy gold with a large rocky off white head and some floaties. Aroma is pretty slight, but lots of citrus notes, lemon, orange peel. Flavor matches. Extremely smooth and pretty light in the mouth. The alcohol is not terribly present. A very drinkable tripel.

8/2/08 from the bottle. Aroma is a blend of roast malt and pepper forward with a caramel finish. Appearance is hazy gold with a well maintained white head. Flavor is clove forward with a perfumy banana background. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a somewhat grainy carb texture blend. Overall, quite good and worth trying just for the complexity.
