| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 18, 2007 On tap at the Sharp Edge Creekhouse. Nice tripel that I have been waiting a while to try. Pour was a cloudy gold with a finger head. Aroma was sweet and yeasty. Taste was strong and different than I’ve had for a tripel. Tasted like a yeasty dry Belgian with crushed up Fruity Pebbles in it yet had some citrus and lemon in the background. Perfumy in the mouth and in the swallow. This is a unique beer.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 5, 2004 Hazy bronze with a huge foamy white head. Some spotty lacing. As said before by the heemster, a nose of caramel and pears. Alcohol as well. That was not hidden too well. Spicy, citrusy hops. The caramel comes out more, the alcohol is better hidden, and the pears aren’t really there. I do detect a touch, but not too much. Bitter hops roll into the equation here as well as hitting at the end with some pepperyness/spiciness. On the second drink, I do notice the alcohol, but nowhere is it as prevelant as in the nose. The body is nice and creamy with a spicy, tangy palate. Ends with fruit and spices... and hints of alcohol. thegreenrooster (1842), St.louis, Missouri, USA

Aroma is lots of yeast and cloves with some fruits showing up. Flaovr is a bit lower than the aroma but there are some sour fruit and a bit of honey. So-so for the style.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 7, 2006 Sweet upon full warming, yet still fairly clean. A bit of herbality cuts through the sugars. Some mushroomy woodiness, a little like what I get from aged Allagash Triple. Fair body and holds together well, if too sweet...The aroma is nicely spicy with pepper and pineish components. I haven’t seen this in 12 oz. lately - is this a new batch? thornecb (1805), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA
