Bottle. Hazy golden body, with a huge off-white head. Aroma is very fruity, citrus and sweet like hefeweizen. Aroma is also fruity, cirtus. A very good tripel.

750ml bottle. less complex than i was hoping for, but still a solid triple. golden pour, thick head. I would prefer more kick in the palate, perhaps with more carbonation. good beer overall, though.

Cloudy gold pour with some nice floaties. Nice white head. Aroma of honey, citrus, flowers, and mild spice. The flavor is similar, but not quite as sweet. Fruity, somewhat dry. Bread, yeast, cloves. Dry, clean palate. Very nice tripel.

Cloudy orange color with a large white head. It looks quite nice. Smells like a really sweet hefeweizen with cloves and hay. Flavor is pretty malty sweet with some banana/citrus coming through. Finishes really dry. Pretty tasty brew.

First rating. One of the few tripels I’ve ever had. Nose was very sweet and citrusy, first half of the bottle poured a hazy yellow, while the second half had sediment floating inside. That Belgian taste was very identifiable; malty fruits and a bit of spice, with some carbonation. Very tasty.

Very nice Tripel. Not overly sweet. Aromas of cloves, banana, and orange, Taste is of medium sweet malt with some citrus notes. A yeast/doughy character is noted as well.

Pours a very milky honey gold with slightly green accents and a 2 finger creamy beige head that simply never goes away and leaves some of the nicest lacing around. Aroma is earthy citrus, fresh dough yeast, straw, spicy yeast, a little banana and some citrus tanginess. Flavor is grainy malt at first follwed closely by lots of toast and some caramel, then a little lemon. In the middle the toast and caramel remain dominant and more citrus notes move in, with some dark fruit and spicy yeast, which becomes more bread like rather quickly. Finish is grainy, toasty, citrus and spicy yeast. This stuff is what I would imagine a marzen brewed with Belgian yeast would be like-fantastic.

12oz bottle. Cloudy orange-yellow with a lot of particulate. A nice frothy two finger head. Smells citrus, with some sweet fruit underneath, lots of yeast. Did I mention the yeast? Yeah, it’s there in the taste as well. it’s bready citrus. Nutty. Much sweeter than I expected. A nice Tripel!
