Oct 29, 2009 Poured from bottle (cool label) into Tulip.
Mostly clear light orange with nice head retention and slight lacing.
Slightly sweet smell with cloves, pepper, banana and light hops. Alcohol becomes pretty noticeable as it warms.
Banana, clove and vanilla upfront, then turns pretty sweet at the end, but leaves a nice peppery aftertaste. Slight alcohol taste noticeable throughout. Slightly cloying.
Moderately high carbonation, medium body but seems thick and syrupy.
Nice Tripel overall, but the alcohol may be a tad too noticeable. This is a wide ranging style, but this reminds me somewhat of Tripel Karmeliet, but not quite as good.
