Oct 16, 2009 Not true to style and the coriander they mention on the label was nowhere I could find. The alcohol burn was up front and I could sense a wee bit of banana behind the very forward bitterness. Overall, unbalanced and with a sour finish. One of the few times Bison has disappointed.

Jun 15, 2009 Bomber. Pours slightly hazy orange with a thin white head. Odd combination of grass, fruit, coriander, grain, yeast, and alcohol. Objectively, I would say this is a bit harsh and unbalanced, and a pretty odd tripel. But subjectively I find the particular combination of flavors rather enjoyable, and would buy it again.

Mar 15, 2009 Tasted at GABF 2008. Hazy orange pour with thin head. Nose of grains and coriander. Flavor is yeast, wheat, spices and coriander.

Jan 20, 2009 Very slightly hazy orange/golden coloured body with a super-thin white head. Aroma of light coriander seed, wheat and curacao. Some spices noticeable also. Light to Medium-bodied; Sharp pungent spices with yeast and wheat noticeable in the taste. Aftertaste bitter, but shows coriander seed and subtle spices. Overall, a decent beer - a bit more effort and it might be worth drinking! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 28-May-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Jan 9, 2009 Pours a translucent glowing yellow with a one finger frothy white head. The nose is earthy, yeasty, fruity, some crisp hops, corn, cardboard. The flavor is earthy and fruity as well, some warmth, corn, some astringent hops, meh. Palate is a bit thin, some crispness. Not bad just very underwhelming.

Dec 25, 2008 Hazy golden with medium white head. Sweet malty aroma with caramel and fruity hints. Sweet yeasty flavour with fruity and caramel notes. Sweet finish.

Nov 29, 2008 Solid but non-distinctive grassy Belgian-ale aroma. Opaque gold-orange color with little head that recedes quickly. Flavor and mouthfeel present "soft and rounded" as organics tend to do, a definite sweetness and hints of the grain you find in Tripel Karmeleit. Pretty darn nice.
pnista (1008), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
Nov 28, 2008 Pours a slightly hazy yellowish orange to brown with almost no white thin head. The nose is pretty middle of the road Belgian. Fruity, maybe some light spice over a bit of wheat. Lightly sweet, not full or rich or alcoholic, kind of lemongrass? A bit mucky. Creamy fuller body, with very low carbonation. Not appropriate to the style, but the best part of this beer. Drier, wheaty, a bit spicy. Very light pepper and lemongrass. There’s a unpleasnt lingering mucky wheat and toast astringency.
