| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 12, 2005 Hazy orange golden color, off white head. Sweeter aroma, some honey, orange, and spice. Sweet flavor, orange again, coriander, honey and some booze. Mouthfeel is pretty creamy, sticky, fairly thick, with some warming on the way down. Nice beer, pretty tasty. Thanks rudolf for the bottle. brentfeesh (1039), Gadsden, Alabama, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 24, 2004 Been aging this for a year. Let’s see how it does (12/04)...Pours a hazy honey gold color with a nice overall appearance. Aroma is sweet malt with cardamom and clove hints. Taste is dominated by the esters of the yeast, giving this brew a clove-banana, sweet candy flavor with a malt background. Syrupy mouth feel but not overpowering. This is aging well. footbalm (1219), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 21, 2004 Golden-apricot color brew.Nose is a complex blend of funky eastern spices and and what seems to be an unknown fruit,almost pears.Taste darn good.The spices are strong as the fruits and yeast come thru’ in a less pronounced way. jgb9348 (2515), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 17, 2004 Hazy orange/golden coloured body with a super-thin white head. Aroma of yeast, coriander seed, alcohol and a nice spiceyness. Medium-bodied; Sweet character with a good nutmeg and coriander seed freshness. Yeasty flavour that lasts a while in the palate. Aftertaste shows a prolonged sweetness & yeastiness mouthful. Overall, a nice tripel, definitely worth trying! Thanks to my mom for picking this up for me on a trip back to Detroit. I’ve had this one saved for a few years, so i’m not sure when it was made. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased at Merchant’s in Dearborn, Michigan on 06-December-2004. dp (512), uniontown, Ohio, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Dec 5, 2004 I was surprised by the whole experience, reminded me of my first wine drinkning experience, kind of a warm stomach after drinking. Served in a small wine type glass, I thought they were giving me the glass due to the price. Different in a good way. Murphy (1759), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 4, 2004 Small head, cloudy orange. Spicy, leafy aroma. Taste is spicy and alcoholic. Medium body. 11026 (1779), Alabama, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 4, 2004 Bottle. Fairly nice triple. Fruity aroma, a little sugary smelling also. Hazy light orange color with a decent white head. Flavor is spicey and estery. Alcohol is there but subdued. Smooth, a little less carbonated than some Belgian Triples. A litlle thick, sweet and syrupy. Ernest (4502), Boulder, Colorado, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 28, 2004 Head is initially small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy medium yellow, bottle conditioned. Aroma is lightly malty (cookie), lightly yeasty (cobwebs, mold), with strong notes of banana and clove. Flavor is heavily sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic. Typical American rendition that’s heavy on banana and clove and too sweet, but it’s not bad.
