Dec 13, 2007 Pours with an orange-gold body with little head and no lacing. It’s sweet with notes of cany sugar as well as a strong note of grass...not much else. Light bodied, oiley and smooth.

Nov 27, 2007 The vibrant aroma of bananas and vanilla jumped right at me as I poured the golden red ale into my 50cl glass. The first taste of the creamy head was seriously malty in a medium body that just kept me coming back for more. Like the others said, it’s remarkably smooth and I’ll bet it is killer on tap. I think this is one of the stronger bodied tripels I have had in recent memory.

Nov 19, 2007 16oz bottle-A murky orange body with no head. Aroma of citrus and slight malt. Taste of wheat, a little sourness, and a somewhat resemblance of a Tripel on the very back end but not much. Really disappointing beer from Sprecher. I was expecting a lot more.

Nov 11, 2007 Aroma of some wheat and light fruit. Pours golden orange with no head. Flavor is rather bland with noticable wheat, some sour/bitter notes that never really rounded themselves out, and some bland fruity sweetness. Moderatley carbonted and medium bodied. Boring!

Nov 2, 2007 Bottle: Pours copper, with a short lived head. The aroma is simple; musty, sweet, pruney hints, and an herbal hint. The flavor is sweet. Has a pruney suggestion as well, and has an obvious alcohol presence. There isn’t enough bitterness. It isn’t all together offensive, but it just lacks character completely. Sprecher should stick to German style brews.
