Yeast really was evident and in not such a pleasant way. Medium body. The yeast took away from the flavor.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 26, 2006 Light hazy yellow pour. Extremely yeasty aroma and flavor that didn’t mix very well with the hop profile. The yeast and hops contrasted in a really unpleasent way for me. Not my style of beer at all. If I want some yeast, I’ll drink a hefe-weizen. This was just too much. milewide (618), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 9, 2006 Many thanks to Beerdrenched for picking this tripel up for me. Pours light gold with white head that leaves quickly. Aroma has a huge amount of fruit - passion fruit, white grapes and kiwi. There is also a lot of spicy and some Belgium earthiness. Medium body with fairly light carbonation for the style. Taste is very fruit as the aroma suggested - passion fruit and apricot are most noticeable. The finish bring the earthy aspects and spice. There is a bit of a cardboard taste on the finish. This is a nice American version of a tripel. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 4, 2006 Slightly hazy golden body with a thin white head. Sweet candi sugar aroma with some light fruit. Sweet fruity flavor, some hints of candi sugar, and a light spice end. Numenor (869), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 3, 2006 Thanks to the random person who sent this to me. Light cloudy golden body with a thin white head. A very nice Belgian yeast aroma, somewhat fruity as well. A very nice taste, yeasty cherry, some light hops though for the most part, the taste is sweet. Smooth ending, though slightly hot. kramer (2482), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Aug 26, 2006 12 oz bottle, via Styles. Pours a hazy dark gold body full of very tiny floaties under an almost non-existant white head, just a thin whispy covering and ring. Aroma seems to be quite off, some fruity malt and yeast, but a very prominant garbage juice and rubber background. Flavor is like the aroma. It starts out fairly sweet and malty but finishes with the taste like burnt tires. Very wierd really. Some alcohol on the finish also. Mouthfeel is thick and cloying with very soft carbonation. Finishes quite syrupy. Overall, something was off with this but I’m not sure if it was the brewery’s fault or just due to age. From what I’ve read, I suspect that this was due to yeast autolysis but I can’t be certain.
