mreusch (715), Olathe, Kansas, USA Jun 25, 2008 33cl bottle, pours a hazy golden with a sizable white head, moderate lacing. Aroma is candied fruits, yeast, some citrus hops and spice. Flavor is more candied fruits sweetness, with some spice and a light citrus. Not bad, and a notch better than the Westmalle Tripel, but realizing this style isn’t doing much for me. phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Jun 24, 2008 Pours cloudy blonde colour with a huge white head. Lots of carbonation, semi-tart flavor, and light fruit. mouthfeel is very creamy and bubbly. Aromas of fresh hops, grapefruit and lemon. Taste is slightly bitter, but still very smooth. uhre (339), Denmark Jun 24, 2008 The head is huge and it has a copper colour, the head doesn’t last long though. The aroma is hoppy and it has a bit of spicies and yeast. Flavor is full of yeast with a bitter touch. marchcow (664), Coralville, Iowa, USA Jun 23, 2008 Updated: Sep 30, 2008Sour lambic aroma. White head with golden honey colors. Dryish flavor with a sweetish balance, malt, hay, cookie, dried fruits and slightly bitter finish. Rich and even palate with strong carbonation. Quite good. kiefdog (1567), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 23, 2008 75cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark golden/orangish/honey color with a thick frothy white head that slowly settles to about one finger. Good head retention. Aroma is ripe fruit, apple, spice, yeast, bread and complex aged cheese. Flavor is yeasty and fruity with notes of bread, honey, and hops. Light to medium body with a slightly bitter finish. basewars (144), Albany, New York, USA Jun 23, 2008 Pours golden with plenty of foam. Aroma of fruit and a little alcohol. Tastes of banana, apple, pear. Little burn of alcohol. Got what I expected but little more.
I might try it again, but I’d rather stick to the blue. Pinball (2693), Allerød, Denmark Jun 22, 2008 nice laid back aroma, vanilla, fruits, when warming up a bit i got something roasted too. could be more powerful. hazy golden with large thick head. nice flavor. very well balanced. i get honey, sugar, little bitterness. RB rating too high imo, but it is well balanced. jstraw (750), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 21, 2008 Orange with big, foamy off-white head / Light, fragrant nose of banana, yeast, and spice / Medium body, crisp and lively, but with good malts underneath and excellent, bitter finish / Flavors of banana, orange, apple, clove, and coriander / Pretty much a textbook tripel.
