22 oz bomber-Cloudy golden color w/a slight white head. Spiced aroma. Flavors of spice/cloves, wheat, bread dough, & yeast. Not much sweetness to it, very dry. A little too dry in my opinion, took some of the enjoyment out of it for me. Add a little sweetness to this brew & it would be killer, not bad as it is. Long, dry finish.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottled. Almost clear golden, minimal head.-´ Fruity glue aroma. Sweet and papery with medium body. Flavour of orange, wheat malt and glue, together with canned pineapple in syrup. Some late bitterness. A bold and cardboardy, rather lifeless tripel.

Jul 21, 2008 From a 22oz Bottle. Courtesy of Dickinsonbeer. Mostly hazy, brassy gold colored pour with a slender finger of fine bubbled white head. Reasonably carbonated, but certainly on the light side for a tripel. Aromas of wheat, honey, and banana phenols. The residual sweetness combines with the banana and some additional subtle peppery phenols to create a baked banana bread impression. Restrained alcohols and coriander herbalness. Medium light bodied, softly carbonated mouthfeel. The carbonation level surprisingly high considering the appearance; white not overly effervescent, it melts quickly off the tongue, enhancing the relative lightness of the body. Flavors of pale malt sweetness and herbal coriander up front on the palate, followed by some mild lemon citrus characters. Toward the finish, some mild yeasty peppers kick up, but never really develop the complexity found in the nose. Finishes sweet, but light, with a lingering alcohol warmth. Thanks Paul!

Brewed by Saratoga. Very murky honey orange body. White head that went away a bit fast. Slightly fizzy. Pleasant sweetish malty nose, bit agrumey (orange). Good Tripel nose. Nice malty, persistently honeyish taste, lightly sourish, slightly lemony. Soft yeastiness. Orange again. Bit bready. Malty aftertaste. Mellow, tasty tripel.
