Bottle, yeah for jersey. Pours a golden orange with a white head. Sweet fruity esters of pear, banana and light spices. Bubblegum, citrus. Creamy with a sharp carbonation. Light etoh bite and a hint of ginger. Good brew.

Poured a hazy dark golden color with a small, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of banana, citrus fruits, toffee, yeast, honey, floral hops, and alcohol. Taste of earthy yeast, citrus fruits, toast, toffee, honey, vanilla, some nuts, bitter hops, and a dry, lightly alcoholic finish.

750 ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a lively carbonation and a nice off white fluffy sticky head. Aroma is phen9olic, yeasty, good fresh doughy bread, orange zest, lemony citrus, but not quite as fresh or pungently hoppy as some other American style tripels very slight medicinal phenols as well as hints of grass and earth. Plastic phenols come through as well. Flavor is zesty earthy, and tons of nice herbal hops- and less American style citrus- tons of European spiciness- with a slight citrus kick as it warms, doughy slight sweet caramel malts, zesty- spicy yeasty phenols, slight medicinal, very woody and weedy- garlic mustard is prevalent, very green and turns a bit astringent rather than lively fluffy doughy and citrusy like many other American tripels. Finishes dry though but still has a moderate harsh astringency that makes finishing the bottle a daunting task.

GABF 2009. Pours clear dark yellow with an average, fizzy white head, somewhat diminishing with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (caramel, cereal, meal, bread), heavy hop (flowers, herbs, grass, pine, spruce), average yeast (dough, sweat) with notes of pear, pineapple, and honey. Full bodied, stick texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness.

Bottle shared at Capones. Pours a hazy golden orange with a medium creamy and bubbly white head that laced. Aroma of floral and citrus hops, candy sugar, bready malt, some Belgian yeast esters and fruity notes. Flavor of bready and very lightly toasted malt, candy sugar, a nice mix of citrus and floral American hops, nice and dry. Love the hoppy Trippels!
