wcampbell (572), Central, South Carolina, USA Nov 8, 2009 Not that great for a tripel. Fairly drinkable, but too bland and alcoholic. Lots of wheat, biscuit, and yeast flavor. Overall too mild. It needs some more spices to be a good beer. The finish is dry with alcohol present. Not the most drinkable tripel. branspra (204), Arlington, Virginia, USA Nov 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy, golden color with a moderate, frothy white head. Aromas of bananas, wine, and hints of wheat. Lively mouthfeel with a relatively slick, then clean finish. Flavors of bananas, wheat, and biscuit are abound. Good beer but there are many triples to purchase that are much better. fsbw21086 (69), New Jersey, USA Nov 1, 2009 pretty good trippel. Spicey flavors with a kindof dry finish. Not as huge of a fruity profile as I would have expected. Not bad. manuchampions (95), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Oct 24, 2009 22oz bomber from 16th St. Liquor in West Van. Pours a slightly hazy golden with thick, bubbly head. Aroma is fragrant and slightly spicy with some sweet fruit notes. Taste isn’t as rounded as expected. Fairly one dimensional but pleasing tartness with some clove and honey. Don’t get me wrong, this is a well made and satisfying beer, just not a standout in such a tough category with so many better offerings. jsquire (2087), St. Marys, Ohio, USA Oct 24, 2009 Hazy golden beer with a foamy off white head. Alcohol, hair spray and some spice in the nose. This is a pretty thick triple, with lots of honey sweetness, spice and yeasty bread. Lots of alcohol in the flavor. patrick767 (2016), fort wayne, Indiana, USA Oct 22, 2009 bottle at Ft Wayne tasting - Pours hazy, light copper with a one finger lingering head. The aroma is of yeast, malt and some alcohol. The flavor has some lightly fruit accented malt, yeast, and again the alcohol presence is a bit more forward than I expected. There’s a mildly dry finish. It’s good, but I’ve had a number of better tripels. hellomisterp (32), Pennsylvania, USA Oct 21, 2009 22oz bottle poured into a Trappist glass. Starts with little head that quickly fizzles away. Has a strong clove nose. The taste is dominated with tart start with hints of apples and bananas. This one remains friuty throughout with a caramel backbone and ends with the 9.7 standing out.
