Commercial Description:
This is the ultimate Belgian style. The very high gravity of this beer is balanced by the smoothness of its finish. Banana and Clove aromas come from the Belgian yeast strain combining with the generous dose of Belgian Candi Sugar. The Saaz hops help to give this beer a balanced bitterness with no noticeable hop aroma.

12oz bottle from trade at DLD09. Pours a cloudy sediment filled orange with medium white head which thins. Fruity aromas of lemon, banana, and clove dominate but bready yeast and alcohol definitely there as well. Flavor is typical for the style - sweet malt, lemon, clove, banana, yeast, lots of phenols. I’m usually not a fan of belgian tripels, but I enjoyed this.

Bottle shared by barrios with scottyp. Pours near clear gold with thin wispy ring of white head. Nose is lightly grainy, with belgian spiciness and old lemon peel and alcohol. Flavor dull yeast and semibtter lemon and alcohol phenolics. Nice warming verging on boozy. Pretty tasty stuff though, decent for style.

Bottle. Golden body with an off-white head that has some legs. Smells of yeast, clove, banana. Flavor is much the same. Quite sweet. Alcohol is present more in the taste than the aroma. Thick body.

Interesting take on a trippel. Orange pour, small white head. Aroma of yeast, fruit, honey and hops. Flavor is hoppy, malty and bitter sweet. Just ok.

Bottle: I’m thinking I got a bad bottle of this...big time diacetyl bomb. Buttery, sweet corn, butterscotch notes all in abundance. Bleh! Hopefully my other bottles are better.
