May 2, 2008 Bottle shared by Crosling. Poured a clear golden color with a moderate off-white head that left a slight amount of lacing. Aroma of yeast, bubble gum, and some light fruit. Flavor consists of a lightly sweet entry that leads into a yeasty middles with hints of bubble gum, with some light undertones of banana and clove and a weird bitter finish. Decent, but it isn’t something I would drink again.

Apr 29, 2008 12oz. not too impressed. Dusty pale cloudy gold with orange and a full tight white head. Aroma is more sweet than I expected. Also wheat and a solid yeast presence in addition to an expected bananna aroma. Very sweet, and quite sharp. Sweetness, yeast, and alcohol presence give a very lpesant floral flavor that has a great tangy finish.

Apr 28, 2008 On tap at Jerry’s. Cloudy gold with big, foamy white head / Nose of banana and spice / Full bodied with thick malts, some sweetness, subdued carbonation, and a bitter, spicy bite on the finish / Flavors of sour malt, banana, peaches, cloves, and coriander / Good but a touch cloying - lacks finesse. More of a dubbel than a trip.

Apr 18, 2008 Pours a honey yellow with a somewhat cloudy body. White foam that dissipates to a bit of lacing. Aroma is of nut and yeast. Flavor is again nutty and yest, more so than it is fruity and spicy like other tripels. Proves to be unique and stands out for that reason. Not a typical tripel and definitely can make its mark out there for it. Very happy with this, although it isn’t the typical tripel.

Apr 18, 2008 Pours a somewhat hazy yellowish color. Head is there, but minimal. Nice lacing on the glass. First impression is that it definitely has that full flavor that Dark Horse seems to have in all the beers. Not as sweet and fruity as most Tripels, but it does have the yeasty bready characteristics. Maybe a bit of brett in here as well. Ends on a somewhat dry clove spice note. Mild alcohol burn. Medium bodied. Pretty solid, but it’s hard to live up to the original Trappist brews.
