Nov 24, 2004 Bottle, best by date of 11-17-04. Poured a nice cloudy golden color with next to no head. Aromas included sugar, bananas, and apples. The flavor was much of the same. Pretty standard stuff for a belgian-style tripel, but I do greatly enjoy said style.

Nov 11, 2004 This is a real good beer, high alcohol content, and this beer has some flavor to it,too strong for some days other days just right. Bottle and draft both good.

Nov 1, 2004 musty orangey earthy aroma--’authentic’ aroma. superb full body, lots of residual sweetness that offsets a lot of tang in the middle. i think the sweetness detracts a bit, but still another good offering from great lakes.

Oct 29, 2004 Very spicy nose, some mandarin orange earthiness. Flavor is very orange! Bitter corriander, spicy, sour. A bit too syrupy for my tastes

Oct 18, 2004 Holy heck, this was the beer that put me a little over the edge last night. Was feeling fine then i drank it, discovering in the process that it was close to 10% abv. Beware of that before trying, cause i ended up staying at a friends house as a result. Beer pours a cloudy brownish yellow with almost no head. Spicy citrus aroma. The flavor is pretty smooth even with the high alcohol. Very sweet but with some added spices that I cant really pin down. Decent beer, but BEWARE.

Oct 14, 2004 I really like this beer. So very smooth and enjoyable. Lots of enjoyable flavor with fruits and spice. I really hope they brew this beer for a long time because I will keep drinking it.

Oct 12, 2004 Gorgeous golden hue, cloudy, with a lush and lovely snow white head atop that stays and remains in charge.
Nose is soft, sweet, spicy. Further visit to the olfactories give up light spices, lemon, and big carbonation...very zesty!
Taste? Yum! Large, pulpy, palpable feel ,flush with orange, lemon, peach, and maybe more. Big, tasty mouthfeel, still flooded with spices and a great citric zing. A very satisfactory tripel, but not so amazing as I’d like.
a tasty tipple, if not an awesome tripel.

Oct 4, 2004 Golden.
Complex, estery and phenolic nose with notes, slight dms (didn’t affect the beer though), lemon, smoke, spices and orange.
Slightly smokey, sweet malt flavor throughout with notes of burnt cream corn, heavy cinnamin (I don’t know if it was spiced with cinnamon or what but it sure tasted like it), phenols, light fruits, zest, tang and orange. Just a heavenly tasting brew.
