2008 750ml green bottle. Pours with a foamy to nearly fizzy white head that fades quickly over the clear burnt yellow body. Very little lace, and not really appealing compared to just about any other Tripel I have ever had. Aroma of banana esters, dry fruit, honey pear, apple, candi sugar and alcohol. Taste is sweet on the mouth with a light and smooth character. Juicy ripe pear that lingers and a bit of cotton candy, alcohol and bread in the finish. Thinnish mouthfeel and dry with lively carbonation. This beer lets down in appearance and mouthfeel, but its classic Tripel taste and aroma make up for it.

Pours a gorgeous light golden color, with an amazing head. As beautiful as the head was, it didn’t last at all. Aromas of clove, coriander, maybe vanilla too. Flavor is very fruity...apple, banana and pear. Awesome beer...I’ll be buying more.

WTF, this beer gave p00tz tha hiccups. Smells like candy, and the name makes p00tz think of the best food in tha world, the veggie parm. Parmeliet, yo! Seriuosly, it’s got the fizzy flava and enough of the stank. p00tz can get wit this one.

Pours a golden marmalade with a large head. Quite well carbonated, found the same as Nathan, head didn’t last long enough. Fresh clean lemony aroma. Would never pick this beer as an 8.4%ABV it tastes so light. Thye flavour is very clean with spiced citrus and a dry finish. Really liked this, I think its one I’ll end up buying again.

Bright golden yellow color with a creamy, fluffy white head. Looks great in a nice snifter. Aroma was really strong yeast with hints of bananas and citrus. The citrus flavor was much more apparent in the taste. Very lively on the tongue and finishes clean and crisp. Highly recommend!

Draught at TJ’s: Aroma of grassy hops, light yeast, pale malts, and floral hops. Very fresh scent. Poured gold/yellow in color with a medium-sized, foamy, white head that lasted throughout. Hazy. Not sparkling. Flavor is lightly bitter. Tastes of fresh hops, pale malts, grass, grains, pollen, and flowers. Light body. Thin texture. Average carbonation. Hoppy, grainy, finish. 8%ABV is undetectable. Very easy to drink.
