BuckNaked (1198), Tempe, Arizona, USA Jul 3, 2005 Draught: Pale golden yellow/amber with a small white head, mostly clear. Aroma is mild banana, pepper, light clove, and yeast. Taste is yeast, with notes of banana, pepper, mango, and a hint of mint. Medium-lively carbonation (though not as much as I would expect from a tripel), light-medium bodied. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing special about this one either.
goldtwins (3747), Nesconset, New York, USA Jun 25, 2006 Bottle from KP dated December 1997. Poured a clear amber other than thousands of flating yeast chunks. Miniml sized off-white head. Sweet and sugary aroma. Some ester fruitiness. Aged malt and even some alcohol. The flavor was sweet and a little tart. Light to medium bodied. meathookjones (245), Sterling, Virginia, USA May 7, 2005 vHad this on tap at the brewpub. This came out a hazy golden yellow with a slight white head. Small traces of lacing were left around the glass as it was consumed. The nose was spicy, fruity and a bit of sweetness in there as well. Slightly spiciness up front is joined by a fruity sweetness as well as mild earthy hop notes. Aftertaste leaves a bit of spice lingering on the tongue. The mouthfeel is clean and crisp with a body that is a bit lighter than I would have expected. Drinkability was good as I had three of these and wanted more. This is a good example of the style but not my favorite, I will probably go back and pick up a growler before it is gone though. chriso (4420), London, Greater London, England Dec 24, 2004 Very pale yellow colour. Some citric hop, spicy fruit and a bit of yeast. Bittersweet finish. Like many of the Dominion brews I tried I found this solid, but unexceptional. On tap at the Dominion brewery.
TheBeerGod (2874), Newport News, Virginia, USA Dec 3, 2004 Had this on draft at Dominion on 11/21/04. Golden body. Nose is fruity, spicy and flowery with a light yeast note. Taste is fruity (bananas) with more floral notes and some light spice. More yeast coming through as well. Taste is very much like the aroma. More focused, anyway. Body is medium with no noticeable alcohol. Wonder how much this has in it? Finishes with a bubblegum note, more fruit and yeast. Pretty decent beer.
