| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 1, 2006 Bottle. Pale golden color. Slight haze. Large white head, dissipates quickly. Yeasty, Belgian smelling aroma. Distinctive Belgian flavor, fruity and sweet but not too sweet, fairly full bodied with a mild bite. Pretty drinkable ale. shadey (1500), Rochester, New York, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 26, 2006 Hazy golden yellow with a ring of cream white. Aroma is attractive for a triple. Fruity and slightly alcoholic at the begining. Whatever you do, don’t eat anything sweet. This sweet beer does not match up well with sweet food. I tried and all I tasted from the beer was alcohol. Not pleasurable. ¾ (4999), Colorado, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 24, 2006 12oz bottle tasted along side Prophecy at Zeno’s in State College, PA. Clear amber yellow color. Has the proper nose of a tripel, with sweet sugars and spicy, estery yeast notes. Crisp, fresh tasting, properly bitter and mildly dry. Very fizzy, full of the Weyerbacher yeast, which I really don’t care for, but otherwise and OK beer. Not one of the best. Odeed (1673), Bakersfield, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 21, 2006 (bonus brew from numenor,this was on the bottom of the box and i just found it today after about two weeks.)semi murky orange body with your usual thick white tripel type head.aroma was dominated by belgian yeast,followed by cloves,sage,and vanilla.flavor was much of the same with a bit of black liquorice and root beer thrown in.mouthfeel was medium,as was the palate. mike mcneil (660), St Augustine, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 13, 2006 Pours from the bottle a slightly hazy pale gold color giving up a thin white head. Some spotty lacing. Big fruity Hefeweizen nose consisting of banana, bubblegum, fresh yeast rolls, apple, lemon and light candy sugar. Mouthfeel is quite smooth and creamy, but with a noticeable spritzy texture on the tongue from the fine-bubbled carbonation. Sweet, fruity flavor with notes of banana, yeast, bread and sugar syrup soaked apple, pear and apricot. Finish goes from very sweet and fruity to a quick, brief hit of citrus-like tartness. Overall nothing memorable, but worth a try. MrBunn (1533), Western, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 12, 2006 Aromas of apple, grass, cloves, yeast, candi-sugar and a creamy sweetness. Appearance is OK, a hazy gold with a medium/small head (really small for a tripel). Flavor falls apart from what one would expect. There is a very dominant tart apple flavor that burries the other complexities. Could be much better... I may have to revisit this one later. Terminus (1955), Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 11, 2006 bottle-clear dark yello with a small soapy white head. nose is kind of different-like a banana hefe with belgian yeast character (light funk and citrus). big banana flavors with spices. nice round palate with nice carbonation. very pleasant. there is a pils-esque malt component that i really dig here. part hefe, part belgian golden and part lager. unique and pleasant! vyvvy (2043), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 9, 2006 Much thanks to Beerdrenched for sharing this one. Don’t know if this should be called a tripel - the bottle I had didn’t strike me that way. Poured hazy yellow / orange with a small white head. Spicy banana aroma with some sweet malt. Smooth medium bodied beer with some semi-sharp carbonation - nice mixture. Taste has hefeweizen style banana and Belgium style malt and yeast. Some sharpness and tang on the finish - bits of pineapple and lemon. A nice unique beer - hopefully I can find this somewhere down the line.
