Sep 4, 2007 A very good "American" Trippel. Reminds me a lot of Chimay. Good aroma and a smooth flavor. I was pleasantly surprised.

Sep 2, 2007 Complex flavor indeed, it would be difficult to describe all the flavors that are involved. Just keeping it simple and reporting it as being quite enjoyable.

Aug 31, 2007 THOUGHTS: A nice trippel. If I didn’t know better, it could have been from Belgium. Green Flash continues to impress me. It’s easy to go wrong making a trippel, but when done right like this, it’s one of the better styles. Very flavorful.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a cloudy, light to medium orangey amber with an average, sudzy, white head that mostly diminished except for a thin coating and left virtually no lacing. The aroma was lightly yeasty with grape, apple, white wine, light alcohol and spices. The initial flavor was lightly seet and acidic, while the finish was lightly sweet and moderately acidic and bitter with a long duration. The dominant flavors were white wine and spices. The light to medium body was dry and somewhat syrupy with fizzy carbonation and a lightly astringent and alcoholic finish.

Aug 21, 2007 22oz bottle
Pours a rusty dark gold color with a thin white head. Decently proper nose full of candy sugar, sharp alcohol, dry white grapes, and sharp, spicy pears. Flavors pretty much the same, some white wine, spicy pears, some heavily cloying candy sugar – it’s not thin bodied as much as tripel should be, and the candy sugar comes off rather thick instead of thin and elevating, and it’s by far too sweet. Tripel is one of the few styles I judge strictly to-style if a brewer chooses to call their beer tripel, so I’m usually hyper-critical of these American versions. Without regarding style I’d have to say I enjoyed this one, but did find the heaviness and slight booziness a problem, and towards the end of the bomber – drinking this by myself – I had had enough.
