Apr 15, 2005 Bottle: Lots of citrus in the aroma. Sweet and fruity. Lightly yeasty. Light alcohol. Pours a transparent light golden-orange. Not much of a head. Basically becomes a white ring quickly. Lightly sweet up front. Yeasty and relatively big hop finish. Alcohol definitely present. Burning and warming affect. Light yeast and alcohol in the aftertaste.

Apr 6, 2005 Nice, amber color and very clean and clear in appearance. The aroma is yeasty and banana-like. The head dissapates very quickly with little lacing. I enjoyed the flavor and feel, though it seems a bit light for a Tripel.
I agree that the carbonation seems low and the alcohol is well hidden, but I certainly felt the warm, 9% glow in my stomach. It is somewhat syrupy, but not objectionable. I’d drink it again, but there are better Tripels in the US, not to mention Belgium. Interesting and pleasant for a 9% abv, but not as complex as I would have liked for a Tripel.

Apr 5, 2005 12 oz bottle: Hazy golden w/ a disappointing, thin, short lived white head. Not a lot of fizz in this one! Aroma is of bananas, plastic, & light herbal hop to start. Hints of peppery yeast, sweet corn & grainy malt. Flavor starts out bitter w/ an herbal hop flavor. Alcohol, & a bit of yeast spice. Malt is 2nd to hop flavor and has a bitter, dry finish and lasts into the lingering aftertaste. There is a light corn flavor w/ some sweet sugary flavor between start & finish. Carbonation is low for a tripel, medium bodied, and alcohol is well hidden: has a dry m/f. Very disappointing from a tripel standpoint. The plasticky aroma gets stronger as it warms(like a new plastic beach ball) and really takes away from the bland maltiness. I didn’t really care for this on at all.

Apr 1, 2005 Sorry, not a tripel. No head-somewhat syrupy and not complex. Didn’t care for it.

Jan 26, 2005 Lightly hazy golden. Light floral and estery aroma. Some yeast, as well as some vegetal character. This is a bit of a mess, I get a clanging sweetness, with a strong yeasty note. Wispy carbonation, slick (alcohol) mouthfeel. Not a ton of alcohol flavor, but this really does nothing for me.
