| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 20, 2007 Had this @ The Winking Lizard with my boys Tony & Sean after a hard week Friday night. Nose of banana, bubblegum, pears, apples & flowers. Pours a clear sparkling blonde. The mammoth stiff & tight white rocky head is fully lasting with insane lace. The brew is very unique. The start is bready with a light acidity. There is no alcohol bleed or warmth despite the 9% abv. The finish is lengthy and bitter. The medium body is creamy and soft. Hats off to Tony for a winning selection. michael-pollack (2750), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 11, 2007 750ml Bottle: Aroma is yeasty and hoppy. Smells of fresh cut grass, yeast, fir, and pine. Poured golden in color with a huge, dense, creamy, white head. Very good head. Clear, but full of tons of chunky particles. Sparkling. Flavor is medium bitter. Very hoppy with notes of pine, resin, a little mint, and a tiny bit of citrus. Seems more bitter than some beers with more IBUs. Full body. Thick, viscous texture. Average carbonation. Bitter finish. Overall, the best Tripel I’ve had to date. gws57 (1151), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA

Cloudy, strong nose of grapes and roses, vanilla and hops throughout. Smooth! Unusual and very good. Braudog (3782), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Feb 12, 2007 On tap at Biergarden, Portsmouth VA. As I’d expected, a very "Belgian" visual ... hazy yellow with a big airy, foam topping. This drank extremely smoothly with a definite alcohol-spice kick, a bit of a dirty orange peel aspect, wonderfully complex, yeasty, bready, grassy, barky, with a quite bitter finish. Excited to read the description of this as a cross with American Imperial IPAs, because it all makes sense now! (#2694, 2/10/2007) presario (3010), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jul 7, 2006 Big bottle consumed over two days. Even the second day it was fresh and maintained a Duvel-like massive head. Cloudy dark yellow. The hop trio combines with yeast for a unique aroma that spans the ocean. The marriage of Tripel and IIPA works to create a delicious hoppy beverage. Very aggressive hop flavour in a golden drinkable liquid. Lingering grapefruit finish with a trace of medicine. maupie (628), Roosendaal, Netherlands
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 13, 2009 After the beer was served in the glass there was found a lasting quantity not wall adhesive white foam collar which was fine and evenly of structure. The beer also contained no carbonic acid in the glass.
The beer has a thick golden color and a sweet taste. The after tast of the beer is hoppy bitter with a fruity touch. This beer smells fruity. Lubiere (4552), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 16, 2006 Hazy blonde with an extra thick white head, lacing, forming rings. Hoppy floral aroma, pleasant and smooth. In mouth, a crisp malt with good floral hops, alcohol warmth, coriander, a wonderful hybrid. Rich bodied and warming. Just one word. Wow! On tap at BCTC 2006.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 2, 2006 Cloudy yellow with a decent sized, puffy head. Aroma is spicy with pepper, clove and banana. Flavors seem to be a strange mix but they somehow blend together pretty nicely. Really balanced and tasty.
