Aug 8, 2009 Gold color with a medium head. Light coriander and cinnamon aroma. Bubblegummy taste. Sticky sweet malt. Quite bready and metalic. Coriander and spice are light on the finish.

Aug 6, 2009 Sweet malt, some light fruits, some poop. Had very low expectations for this one from the beginning. Better than the usual Redhook crap, but not exactly good. It’s tolerable. Flavor is very smooth and sweet, but it’s very thin bodied. A middle of the pack tripel, which isn’t a compliment.

Aug 2, 2009 Rich golden pour, light head. Lots of spice, honey, yeast, vanilla and a wet woody note in the aroma. Flavor is yeasty and fruity. Boring. Lacking effort IMO.

Aug 1, 2009 Pours a golden amber with a decent white frothy head. Nose has honey and malts with the same found in the flavor along with cloves and vanilla. Pretty boozy as you would expect from the ABV. Would proably benefit from some time in the cellar. Over all a pretty decent beer although there are much better examples of the style.

Aug 1, 2009 Pours a deep golden color with a thick, white foamy head. Aroma of clove. Taste is clove, vanillia, spicy. A heavy alcohol taste. The commercial discription is accurate.

7/30/2009: Redhook Tripel Belgian Style Ale (The Limited Series Batch No. 002)... Aroma: Syrupy honey/toasted malt, hints of citrus, alcohol, and wet grains. Appearance: Brilliant orange color, transparent; thin off-white veil. Flavor: Candy citrus and tons of pale maltiness right up front followed by an unsettling bitterness and then an alcohol burn and some watery grain water. Palate: Medium-full and SYRUPY. Overall: Tripel? Hell no! This beer is like a Helles/Mai Bock! ...and I don’t like that style and this one isn’t even good.
22 fl. oz. bottle (Alc. by Vol. 10.2% / May 21 09 4 51) shared by Tmoney99. Thanks Tom! Rating #50 for this beer.

Jul 29, 2009 The aroma is not right for the style with bubble gum like yeast, malt, fruit(banana), but it’s good none the less. The appearance is copper-gold with an average head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth but a little thin. I think overall this is a good beer but not really right for the style.
