Pale orange, no head. Oily aroma? Sort of off dusty metallic flavor. Fizzy, tingly mouthfeel. Not sure what to make of this one.

Dec 14, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Vintage 2009. Pours a thin short lived off white head, with minimal lacing, over a hazy, golden SRM 7) body.......nose is light lemon, clove, coriander......taste is pear, apple, mild pineapple, finishing with light hop tartness and spice.....mouth feel is medium, carbonation high, alcohol nicely hidden. This is a reasonable example of a Belgian Golden Strong Ale It is not as spicy as a Triple nor as sweet, and the alcohol is not as hot..

Dec 6, 2009 22 oz. bottle- Pours golden with a decent head and perfect lacing, aroma is pepper and other spices. The flavor is mild hops and a very nice pepper spiciness to it. Overall a very good Belgian style Trippel.

Nov 29, 2009 Bomber. 2009 vintage. Smells of pepper, grain, faint banana esters. Pours golden with minimal head, mediocre lacing. Peppery taste; somewhat sweet. Ful-bodied with a nice tasty long finish. A bit sour in the aftertaste. Tastes like an American take on a Belgian style, but that’s not a bad thing. I enjoyed this beer quite a bit. Addendum: I had to change the score on this from a 4.0 to 3.7. The beer gets a little watery towards the end of the bottle. Still a fine beer, however.

Nov 24, 2009 Pretty good for a Belgian. The banana and clove notes are more subdued than other Belgians. Palate is crisp and bubbly. Tastes a little spicy with a strong hop and alcohol presence. Another good showing from the Brewmaster Reserve.

Nov 22, 2009 Bottle from Whole Foods Los Altos. Ramon, the beer guy there, recommended this highly. While I don’t necessarily agree that it was that awesome, it is a bit underrated. Pours a crystal clear light golden color with a quickly dissipating one-finger white head. After that, looks not too dissimilar from a white wine. Aroma is sweet pale malt, Belgian yeast, banana, and spices. Flavor is pale malt, table sugar, yeast, banana, coriander, herbal notes, and a little alcohol. A little sweet and underattenuated for the style, and just a tad boozy. Good though overall. Body is medium-light and palate is rather still, but the long, sweet finish is pretty nice.
