malrubius (455), USA Oct 8, 2008 11.2 ounce bottle in Duvel glass. Hazy orange with flat white head and some lace. Yeasty spicy orange tobacco aroma. Sweet honey orange spicy with mild tobacco bitterness and lingering orangy spiciness. Medium body and carbo. Nice mouthfeel. Very good. I know this is a great beer, having had it many times. But, once again, tryng to get fresh beer around here in Long Island is very difficult. JohnnyOS (625), Golden, Wisconsin, USA Oct 6, 2008 Pours hazy dark gold with thick head. Floral hop aroma with a touch of yeast. Light fruit and malt flavor with a clean hop finish. pellegjr (5), , Ohio, USA does not count Sep 20, 2008 Cloudy pale gold color, thick foamed head with heavy lacing, flowery hop bouquet, fruited smooth malt head and body with a clean tactful hop finish, complex flavor profile, highly sessionable gerardoluna (168), Mexico Sep 18, 2008 [Eyes] Great pale yellow with a big foamy white head.
[Nouse] Citrus, floral and bannana, in deep alcohol is present.
[Mouth] smooth body is spice, floral, alcoholic taste in deep and hops and hops and hops! a bitter long afthertaste. NachlamSie (1383), Tennessee, USA Sep 15, 2008 small bottle. Pours a cloudy orange/gold with a very tall and well formed white head. I’m surpsised at the sheer amount of pepper in the aroma. I’ve noticed other similar beers suggest pepper, but this one is excedingly rich in vegetal aromas. I also get lemon, banana, and soft spices. The palate is delightfully creamy while the flavor leans more towards fruits and dry spices than in the vegetal direction. This is a very smooth and complete package. It has just a tinge of wildness and a solid fruity sweet foundation. It’s delicate, yet robust. Very well done tripel.
