GJF (218), Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA Apr 23, 2008 This is a solid tripel. Pours very light with little head, but the flavor is a nicely spiced malt with a pretty balanced hop finish. I liked it. rmussman (688), California, USA Apr 5, 2008 Sampled on site. Color was a little concerning as it was much lighter than expected. The flavor however was very full bodied and truly had the taste and feel of a nice belgian. I think this beer needs work but well crafted with nice spicing. BillKismet (1401), Seattle, Washington, USA Mar 26, 2008 Decent carbonation, but rather vapid looking light blonde with ring of head. Enjoyably yeasty aroma rife with zesty-zing of esters and a lovely clove prominence. Prickly yeast and baked apple and clove flavor with apple finish. Alcohol is experienced without spoiling the taste. A great offering. Papsoe (9999), Frederiksberg, Denmark Apr 5, 2007 (On tap) Clear, golden with a small, white head. Sweetish, fruity nose with some yeast. Good, solid body with fruity accents, sweetish malt and some diacetyl. An OK Tripel, if not exactly an overly personal interpretation of the style. 240307 bb (2088), Martinez, California, USA Mar 22, 2007 Draft. Golden amber beer with an off-white head. Banana and yeasty, spicy aroma. Yeasty, spicy flavor with good backing fruity esters and some banana. Lingering yeast, spice, esters. Nice complexity.
