| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 15, 2009 Bomber. Pours rich golden color, thin white head. Nose is very mild, aroma of hops. Flavor is interesting, but not the best balanced. Big hoppy presence up front (floral grapefruit). Followed by sweetness of bright fruits (not my favorite fruit flavor..peaches, apricots, etc...verges on cloying), and a touch of spice. Lingering aftertaste is slightly bitter, slightly soapy, and alcohol. Not a fan, but probably expected since I’m not a huge fan of either IPAs or Tripels. Theis (3794), Denmark

Tad hazed, golden orange color. No head or lace. Bittersweet flavor, nothing like the aroma, cardboard, stale grainy, little banana. Medium body, creamy oily mouthfeel, sweet dryish finish. Eh, just didn’t come together for me. Aroma was nice, but flavor just didn’t come together for me, each flavor seemed to be off it’s own place. oh well.....
