| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | May 10, 2009 Poured luminous golden color in my chalice with white head. Nose was fairy rich with boozy sour apples. On the palate there was soft malt and an herbal quality that mingled with the sour apple fruityness. Overall, very boozy and fatiguing to drink. tokyogoat (529), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 3, 2009 Poured into a tulip glass.
Golden orange with a small head after a vigorous pour.
Smells of tree fruits and wild yeast.
Tastes good. Flavor profile jumps around with the beer’s temp.
Its definitely an americanized trippel. Kind of dry, nice light green apple yeast back end, surprisingly light on hops as I read it is dry hopped.
Extremely drinkable. the high ABV is hidden extremely well.
If you like american Trippels, try this one.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 26, 2009 What a great nose this has. Lots of spices and sugars. When you get past that its a pretty decent tripel, which isn’t really a style I go gaga over agillespie81 (201), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 1/5 | 14/20 | Apr 22, 2009 Deep, hazy golden color...head is a little thin, though with nice lacing. Very spicy, fresh aroma. Sweet front, with pretty noticeable spice notes, and a few hints of fruit...crisp mouthfeel. Back also has the lingering taste of fruit mixed in with a mellow hop base not typical of the style. Finish is somewhat mild. A nice brew, though quite unusual...it’s similar to a traditional tripel fused with a bold pilsener. curly (621), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
