Dec 8, 2008 Cloudy golden with a thick, lasting head. A little skunky out of the bottle, but after it sat for a minute or so it smelled more spicy than skunky. Banana and yeast in the nose, with the spicy note. Flavor is almost that of a saison, with a musty, fruity dryness. An interesting beer, and not what I expected. A little light for a tripel. Alcohol is well-hidden, however.

Nov 26, 2008 Brewed in Belgium !!! Pours a hazy yellow color with a super foamy white head. Aroma of sweet malts, bananas, citrus, and spices. The taste is of spices, pepper, fruits, and dough. Mouthfeel is sticky and frizzy with some nice carbonation. There is however some alcohol burn at the finish..... :)

Nov 26, 2008 A: Golden blond somewhat cloudy with a very thick head, lingers for some time even.
S: Smell is Pilsner like; lightly fruity w/basement aromas.
T: Lively, lots of fizz. Fruity taste is hidden, the alcohol is present.
M: Tingles the tongue, refreshing in taste.
D: If you favor a blond Ale (Pilsner even) this is you brew. I tend to stick primarily to the Strong Dark Pale Ales.
Overall Impression: Better than average Beer overall; below average for an Belgium trappist.
