Commercial Description:
Asylum is in the style of a Belgian Tripel. It has a beautiful golden color. Its relatively light body is deceiving for a beer of its character. It has a sweet and spicy, complex fruity aroma and flavor derived from our distinct Belgian yeast strain. Asylum finishes with a subtle, warming character to help you relax on any night. Asylum is an exceptionally smooth Belgian-style brew. Drinking great beer brings the world together. “Vrede op aarde” (Peace on earth).

great sweet taste in a 22 oz. bottle... the 11% volume gets the job done pretty fucking quick!

Crystal clear amber with a white head. Nice malty sweet aromas of bubblegum, cotton candi, with apple sauce and cinnamon. Smooth medium body. Very good earthy mango and light pit fruit flavors with spicy yeasts. A most tasty tripel, one of the best from the West.

8th rating, Bomber Cellar temp. Pours orange with a tan head. Nose is sweet and citrussy with a nice kick of Belgian yeast. Taste is really pretty nice and a touch a touch boozy, but not a big deal. Overall smooth, citrussy and damn nice, I have high standards for Trips and I like this one.

A nice medium-pale reddish-gold color & very clear appearance, with beautiful, long-clinging lace despite the sparse head. The appearance does little to prepare you for this taste sensation, surprisingly bold and rich for such a light colored ale. After having half a glass, I was surprised to see the alcohol content, the same as the Urthel Quadrium I had very recently but not nearly as pronounced in the taste, despite the Urthel’s substantially thicker texture & taste. A nice bit of sweetness & fruit, very refreshing with a smooth, solid finish that lingers light but long. At about two-thirds to one-half the price of a comparable ale either of Belgian or domestic origin, this is a great beer and a great value that I hope to enjoy many more times.

Bomber from Beverages 4 Less. Brilliant copper color with a decent off-white head. Aromas of orange citrus, alcohol, a little bread, and yeast. Medium body with fizzy/frothy carbonation. Flavor is a bit kandi, with citrus, cardamom and light bread. Finishes rather dry. Very smooth. Very good sipper.

Pours a transparent orange copper with a well-lacing frothy white head. Aroma of sweet biscuity toasty malt and some light fruity esters. Starts with good fullness and sweet light fruity esters with nice toasty caramel notes. Finishes drier and semi-sweet with some lingering fruity character and warmth. A pretty good abbey tripel.

Clear golden with a fizzy white head. Sweet candy caramel and fruit aroma. Bright palate with a creamy caramel taste, tart citrus notes, and vanilla a candy sweetness to the finish. Not bad.

22oz Bomber pours orange with very little head. Very sweet, yeasty, and with a hint of citrus and alcohol. Very smooth for 11% Very relaxing sipper.
