| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 23, 2006 thanks to Chucks66 for sharing! Very intresting...a filtered Tripel...Very clear pour. Carbonation fades quickly. Sweet nose with hints of honey, candi sugar and LOTS of yeast. A bit sweet, but sugary sweet. I picked up a nutty flavor(munich malt?). Turns quite spicy and edgy on the fiinsh. Overall, this didn’t have any real flaws, but it really wasn’t very good, either. Rought around the edges.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Nov 14, 2009 Traded bomber bottle. Overall, good but simple. Alcohol was more than a little noticeable in the aroma and flavour. More sweet expected. Certainly not bad though. rampmaster (322), Alden, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 23, 2009 Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a chalice.
Appearance: It has a small one finger thick foamy head. It is bright white in color and quickly fades down to just a small ring of lace. The liquid is a light golden color and has a light hazy appearance.
Smell: The aroma has a sweet candy like malt and yeast character with some light notes of apple and pineapple. Hop aroma is also noticeable but very light.
Taste/Palate: The malt has solid Belgian candied sugar sweetness with notes of apple and pineapple. The 9%abv gives it some mellow warmth and some boozy/peppery notes. Hop flavor is way off in the distance but adds some light herbal notes, dryness and light bitterness to the finish. The body has medium to full feel and the texture seems a little thick at first from the sweetness but thins out with the bubbly carbonation.
Notes: This was a nice drinkable Tripel from Southern Tier.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 22, 2009 Dry autumn aroma, dead leaves and wet dog. Some cherry juice sweetness too. Bright gold, small temporary head. Very dry throughout, there’s a raw sweetness that wants to escape. The dry character get a bit out of control and takes on a chlorine bleach character for a quick second midpalate, but it’s gone into a cotton sock, finishing with some welcomed white pepper. Seems to be erratic and doesn’t sit still anywhere to fit in. KornDogg (211), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA
