Nov 15, 2009 bottle shared by beth and anand- THANKS. pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Notes of mellon, candy, fruit, booze. A little musty and too sweet. and the boozy candied rotten fruit presence makes it tough to drink a lot of this.

Nov 12, 2009 From a 22 oz bottle courtesy of Strykzone this poured a yellow-orange with a medium sized white head and thick and sticky lacing rings. Nose of ripe fruit and yeast. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor is fairly mild with nuances of flowers and fruit, and the finish is lightly dry and bitter.

Nov 6, 2009 I have a cold so maybe it’s not the best time to be reviewing beers, but such is life sometimes. I haven’t been too keen on the basic New Hollands I’ve tried, but I decided to try out something by them that was a little bigger. Can’t smell it that well but it’s sort of sickly sweet, which to me is a bad sign for trippels as they are often too sweet for me. Flavor is better than the smell though, it’s just sweet enough to mask the 9% and still has a nice slight boozy bite to it. Not the best flavor, but very balanced. Nice light-golden color, but nothing too interesting to speak of with that or the mouth. I’m not terribly experienced with trippels and have mixed feelings about them, but this is pretty solid although not worth the price tag.

On tap at New Holland Brewing Company. Appearance is a straw gold with a thin white head. Not sure what the story is with the Black Tulip name since the appearance is quite different. The flavors and aromas are nice Belgium yeast and a decent malt profile. Very dry mouth.
