Feb 26, 2007 A gorgeous cloudy tan body with a large rocky tan head portend a quality brew. Aroma is floral and raisiny with a dab of honey, and flavor much the same with an ample sugary sweetness balanced with a slightly bitter finish that only shows its face in swallow, just as the sweetness is about the get cloying. Thoroughly "Belgian" in delivery, you would not know this was an American beer in a blind taste test. The alcohol content is apparent, but never overbearing. A high quality interpretation. This would go well with a strongly flavored chicken dish; mustard chicken perhaps?

Feb 25, 2007 Beer pours up the appropriate apricot color with a big, almost Belgian sized, egg white head that is nicely retained. Aroma is impressive, with subtle notes of pear, nice earthy yeastiness and spices. Flavor is initially lightly sweet then there is a big yeast kick that I really like. Also, a significant spicy hop kick in the end that is indeed unusual for the style, but that I personally like. Doesn’t follow strict Tripel style guidlines, but rated on its own merit, I like.

Feb 21, 2007 Pouyrs copper with a white head. Smells of pepper, oranges and spicy. Tastes of cookies, sugar, pepper. Finishes of oranges. Very unusual for a tripel.

Feb 14, 2007 Orange-tinted amber body with a small off-white head. Aroma has a peanut note that I often find in Abbey Dubbels and don’t particularly care for. Also has notes of cooked banana and caramelization. Flavor is of toasted grain, honey, roasted nuts, and a hint of cocoa with medium sweet esters. Disappointing. Add one more to a growing list of less than stellar American tripels.

Feb 2, 2007 Bottle from State Line. Pours hazy coppery/dark straw with 3-finger fluffy off-white head. Aroma of funky yeast and candi sugar up front, with fruity peachy and floral notes later. The taste was funky candi sugary malty, with floral, peachy/apricotty notes, and some finishing hopcitrus.

Jan 20, 2007 Pours a lightly hazy golden amber with a small white bubbly/creamy head. Aroma was fruity, Belgian yeast and spices, light alcohol, perfume and peach. Flavor of banana, Belgian yeast and spices, kind of hot and dry, nice carbonation and mouthfeel. Also getting some light citrus, green apple and spice. Well done American Tripel.
