| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 12, 2009 Clear medium gold, very pleasant aroma of light malts, faint candy and bubblegum, and some spicy, almost clove-like esters. Flavor matched, with a bit of peach coming through as well as some white pepper. Just a touch sweet, but overall, one of the better American takes on the style I have run across in a bit. Enjoyed this one. tarheels86 (799), Washington DC, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 8, 2009 500 mL into tulip. Pours a cloudy bright yellow with a disappointingly small, white head that leaves little spots of lacing. Nose of bubblegum, cloves, coriander, Belgian yeast, overripe bananas. Taste is normal tripel taste with candied light fruits, yeast, white sugar, spice, etc. albeit a little too acidic and way too much cloying alcohol.
Very disappointing and expensive at $8.50....damn. beerbill (1973), Laurel, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 3, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Pours a cloudy gold with a moderate white head that quickly disappeared within a minute after pouring. Pleasant aroma of apples, lemon, candi sugar, and Belgian yeast. The flavor is malt, banana and Belgian yeast and really lacks any of the sweetness present in the nose. Some cloves at the finish. An ok beer, but probably not something I’d look to revisit. kiefdog (1633), Tampa, Florida, USA
