mgumby10 (1844), Jupiter, Florida, USA Dec 21, 2007 Pous a lightly cloudy gold color, with a medium frothy white head. smells of Belgian candy sugar, sticky sweet fruits, and some yeast. Nice sharp smell. The flavor was much the same, with all the standard flavors of a tripel. Not overly sweet, with a definite good dosage of alcohol which was noticeable throughout. The fruits seem to keep the sweetness at bay for the most part. Not my favorite style, but this is well crafted. corby112 (677), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 13, 2007 Updated: Jan 5, 2008Pours a cloudy golden color with thick, foamy white head. Nice fuity aroma of apple, pear and grape. Very pleasantly crisp with hints of lighter fruits such as apple, pear and grape with a nice alcohol balance rendering it not too sweet. I enjoyed this beer very much. Snojerk321 (1917), San Diego, California, USA Dec 5, 2007 Bottle. Pours a hazy golden yellow with some sediment. Nose was sweet and fruity. Head was big and frothy, left nice lacing. On the palet it was very creamy. Again very fruity and sweet. A great triple! Oakes (8057), gone rambling, Vietnam Dec 2, 2007 Dull muddy beige with some spritz and a thin head. Looks terrible. BBD in 2009. Very doughy nose is slightly spicy, a little papery. Maybe that BBD was a touch optimistic. Hugely perfumey character is all lavender and five dollar jugs of grandma perfume. Some dry alcohol notes and dough-inflected pale malts. Dusty yeast is also a factor. Gets a bit of icing sugar character as it warms. Can I get a meh? DeadGuyFrank (347), http://westchesterbeer.com, USA Nov 26, 2007 Mild banana and spice aroma, beautiful head, golden and delicious. Floral notes and some caramel, plenty of yeast flavor throughout. A great beer. billk (300), Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, USA Nov 21, 2007 bottle 11.2 oz. Hazy amber gold with large white head that shimmers and seems viscous & sticky. Aroma is spicey, mildly sweet malt, roasted caramelized sugars, Belgian yeast and some perfume, mild herbs with a floral trace of Benedictine. Flavor is medium body, silky smooth, creamy malt with the characteristics described in the aroma. This is a refined quality triple. Nice complexity. Alcohol is warming and noticable but not distracting. EHSRanders (1121), Randers C, Denmark Nov 17, 2007 Bottle. Hazy yellow colour with large creamy white mostly lasting head. Fruity aroma. Sweet fruity flavor with notes of yeast and alcohol. Blom (390), Odense, Denmark Nov 12, 2007 Updated: Nov 30, 2007Yellow with a dense head. Aroma of metallic orange peals, yeast, sugar and camomille. A sweet and spicy beer with a hint of bitterness.
