Guest tap tulip at Flossmoor Station. I’ve got a 2002 bottle from trade in my cellar, but here’s a chance to try it fresh on tap: Cloudy yellow overlay on a golden pils type body. Stiff white head with yellow flecks. Sweet, alcoholic smell with a comforting malt backing. Taste starts with bitter orange peel, some wit spices like coriander and grains of paradise, but all in good harmony. taste is not quite as sweet as the smell, or as a Tripel would expect to taste. Some slight weizen esters. Light on hops, which is a good thing for my scratchy throat right now. Slight bubblegum finish.

Oct 12, 2008 Pours a golden hazy yellow with a nice white head. Aroma of belgian yeasts, cloves, esthers, malt. Flavor is sweet, banana, esthers, yeast, bread belgian-like goodness. Good trippel.

Oct 11, 2008 strong but smooth. tasted fruity and had a good aroma to it. I’m usually not to big on tripels but this is worth drinking

Oct 6, 2008 12oz bottle: pours a hazy golden brown with quick fading white head, aroma of belgian pale malt, flavor is pretty close to the style but has this after taste i cant get over its like a stale taste. good beer other than that and cheaper than buying a true belgian and i get .8 more oz.

Oct 5, 2008 One of my favorites - it is a truly American spin on the classic Tripel - it is beautiful light yellow color with the aroma of spice (ginger, notably) right out of the bottle. It is a very zesty brew with a slightly sweet aftertaste. It pours slightly hazy with a medium head. Victory keeps ’em coming - another fine beer from a strong pedigree.
