| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 16, 2006 Ridiculous, robust, rocky head that settles into a kind of a maringue on top of the straw-colored beer. Strong, bitter Saaz-y nose. Very nice flavor--sweet and bready, some hints of tart cider, and a strong dry, nutty bitterness. Good chewy mouthfeel. Ingevara (526), Hindås, Sweden

The commercial description tells the truth. This is an ezxtremely hoppy beer, very bitter but still light in ts appearance and aroma. A stiff frothy head, grassy fragrance and a long lingering dry - but not drying - finish.
Not a compromise, but a union of different goodies. bhensonb (4285), Woodland, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 2, 2006 Aroma of yeast and light banana. Suggests a spicy hefeweisen! Slightly hazy beautiful golden glow. The head disipated quickly, leaving lacing in the snifter. Starts with banana, and a whole lot of other things, light malt follows, and it ends with sweetish hop. This is very confusing. It’s wonderful, providing the hop a hop head wishes, but not so strong as to overpower the malt. And it seems to be simultaneously sweet and dry. Unique. For now. bierkoning (6050), La Tropica, Netherlands
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 22, 2007 75 cl bottle. Blonde, huge foamy head. Lemon, cream and red berries in the aroma. Initial malty sweetness attacked by an almost oily hoppiness. Cream, lemon and red berries. Long oily yet floral hopbitter aftertaste. The fruit, the power of the hops and the sweetness partly hide the alcohol. This bottle was worth every cent of its almost 9 Euros. Rockinout (945), Kent, Ohio, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 15, 2007 Huge rocky white head, tight bubbles with a beautiful golden color. Dry fruity aroma (grape, kiwi, mango), spicy peppery hops taking over mid-taste, finishes with alcohol. Yum! YogiBeera (2437), Hamburg, Germany

Farty nose ;-) Well - I*m wondering that my notes give it an 8 for this and I just wrote down Farty nose- ahhh - well ,-) Nice apricot and grap taste with a long nice koriander aftertaste.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 4, 2007 Savannah, Ga. - Habersham Beverage Warehouse, 750 ml bottle. Clean, crisp
lemony aroma, hints of spice and grass. Beautiful murky, light orange pour with nice bubble action and a thick, sticky, puffy snow white head that leaves a generous coating of lacing. Tangy flavor - some lemon, honey, a hint of yeast. Flavor gets bolder and sweeter as it warms with some candied sugar notes poking through. Mouthfeel is slightly carbonated which fits right with this one. Alcohol deceptively hidden. Very enjoyable Tripel.
