| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 8, 2009 Big thanks to markwise for bringing this to the weekly tasting. This beer has eluded me going back to its initial release. Pours clear gold with thin white head. The aroma is perfumy, lemony then sweetness and various spice notes join the fun. I’m also getting notes of berries and faint cardboard with additional draws. The taste begins with a wave of sugar sweetness then mild lemon tart notes surface to go along with hints of apple, coriander, raisins and a touch of pepper. Very nice. can8ianben (906), Pasadena, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 8, 2009 Aroma of sweet toffee and banana. Appearance is golden with a frothy white head that fades quickly. Flavor is fairly mellow - somewhat spicy and smooth with a strong Belgian yeast presence. Smooth smooth. SHIG (2037), Aviano, Italy
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 6, 2009 Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow with white head. Aroma is fruit and alcohol. Taste is a fruit and yet also dirty socks. Not overly impressed by this beer. duff (5475), Surrey, Greater London, England
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Mar 3, 2009 Bottle (thanks reakt). Sweetish and alcoholic, with less finesse than its Belgian counterparts. This has some slightly estery citrusy fruit characters, with some noticeable alcohol. I prefer Stones hoppier anglo styles more. Ramenen (456), San Salvador, El Salvador
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 26, 2009 Thanks to ghawener. Drank it at El Flor for New Years Eve. Nice brew from Stone. This tripel is well balanced with the classic hoppiness of American brews. FezMonkey (268), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 14, 2009 22oz bottle. thanks to my buddy paul in SD>....pours a vivis orange brown with a soapy fluffy white head.... earthy, candied sugar mustiness, and yeast makes up the nose with a little bit of honey and spice. nice head retention....flavors of sugary malt, light banana. and mild fruit without a long-lasting finish. medium mouthfeel and carbonation. decent tripel but its still hard to turn me onto the style.
