| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 24, 2008 On tap at Rock Fest ’08. Expectations always high for Belgian Triples. Kinda light for a triple. Thought I was having a belgian golden or a wheat. Poured a godlen yellow haze, lots of head and lacing. Spicy and citrusy with carbonation and alcohol lingering to the end. not even close to being a good Triple, but still enjoyed it. dm9831 (1167), Monee, Illinois, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 23, 2008 Well, one could tell what they were shooting for, but this came across more as a quiet Belgian Golden than as a Tripel. It poured an almost clear golden body with a respectable white head. The aroma had a sweet maltiness to it with a soapy yeastiness and some fresh bread. Kind of thin, it was mainly just a quietly fruity ale with pale malt and a moderate balancing bitterness.
