| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 24, 2009 12 oz bottle: pours a hazy yellow gold with a nice sized white head. Lots of distinctly unibroue yeast aromas with a little grapefruit and apple citrus. Earthiness, bread, orange peel, green apples, corriander and yeast are all over my tongue bouncing off with lots of carbonation. The fruity tartness fades to a hint of alcohol in the finish. Very nicely done.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 22, 2009 12oz bottle served in the 2ng gen smokestack chalice. This is a beer that I have drank lots of but never rated. Aroma of spicy bananas, candi sugar, vanilla, some tartness, and a some lemon. Hazy orange color with a smallish head. Taste is banana, light fruit, white pepper, and warming alcohol. There is a nice amount of maltiness, biscut, and light residual sugars to make it a nice, if slightly overattenuated, tripel. Easy to drink but full of flavor. The alcohol may be a little too warm, but the beer seems to be able to take it. zach8270 (2075), Henrietta, New York, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 21, 2009 (bottle - 12 oz) Cloudy golden color with an inch of white fizzy head. Flavor is very yeasty and spicy, exactly like a Belgian tripel, with lots of citrus, cloves, banana, and other spices. Flavor is incredibly spicy and sweet at the beginning with lots of yeast, banana, clove, and anise. The alcohol blends well and mixes with the yeast and lightly grainy middle and a spicy and sweet finish. Leaves a crisp aftertaste. One incredibly tripel. tennessejed420 (73), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 20, 2009 Pours a big white head. Smells almost sharply like bubblegum, clovey-spices. Color of a classic abbey tripel, yellowish-gold with a hazy center. Taste is indeed robust, a linear crescendo of flavor, crisp and spicy with a sweet aftertaste where alcohol is not present but definitely noticed soon after each sip. The feel of this beer in your mouth is great. I’ll venture to say I like it better than trois pistoles. vacantskies (79), Spokane, Washington, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 19, 2009 Pours with a thick, frothy head. It has a very yeasty aroma. Warm initial taste with a dry, slightly unpleasant finish. Leaves a lasting warmth. beerbill (1937), Laurel, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 19, 2009 750 ml bottle that I received as a gift. Pours a hazy gold with quite a few floaties. There is a large white head that lasted through through three-quarters of the glass and left large patches of lace. Pleasant aroma of lemon, yeast and just a bit of spice. The flavor is lemon, yeast, spice and some candi sugar. Dries out just a bit as it approaches the finish. Lively on the palate. I was frankly surprised to see that I hadn’t rated this before now, as I’ve had this several times. Bella68 (38), Alabama, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 18, 2009 Bottle. Kinda cloudy in color, but it’s all good. Citrus, almost spicy flavor. Beautiful head. Nice flavor. BuckeyeBoy (1646), Boise, Idaho, USA
