| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 13, 2007 Draft at McGrath’s in Harrisburg. Mostly clear amber and ruby orange color with some shades of color that are close to pink. Sweet candy sugar nose, notes of red apple skins and white grapes. Tingly and effervescent on the tongue, sharp with medium to heavy sweetness, but just under the level of cloying. Light body, with a mild spice flavor, clean all around, low yeast presence. I’m not so big on tripels these days, but this one is tasty enough, with more of a fruit cocktail hop flavor than most, but I would like to see some more dryness and less sweetness. Finishes with a pineapple and white grape note. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 24, 2006 Draft at the Drafting Room Exton. HAzy dark straw pour with 1-finger off-white head. Big aromas of banana, yeasty Bazooka gum, spicy florals, and some funky malt. The flavor is on the sweet side, with a lot of banana, coriander, orange zest, bubblegum, and floral spices. This one could be a banana lambic! It also gains some bier de gard elements and saisony funky floral spiciness as it warms. Wonderfully complex and extremely smooth, with no heat at all! Troeg’s has another winner on their hands. Oh, and by the way, this is an example of how the cherries actually may have held this wonderful beer back a little! Lubiere (4549), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

(3+) Sweet aroma, sugary, light spice. (6+) Sweet flavour is similar, sugary main, light spice, bitterness and alcohol in the finish, sugary sweet malt core. (7+) Average plus palate is lightly carbonated. Solid, but not quite as rich as hoped for. At BCTC 2009
