[1] Review by pfoxyjohn from Watertown, WI, USA who has tried this beer once. (5/15/2008 3:00:05 PM)
"The nose is very light, fruity with yeast and alcohol. A thin,bubbly white head, short lasting, upon a hazy golden body with moderate carbonation. Effervescent palate; the carbonic nature impacts on the taste - reserved flavors of soft fruit, yeast and well-blended grains and a warm finish. Need to cellar some of these. MUSIC: When Water Comes to Life by Cloud Cult."

"Another Belgian beer tried recently at a series of Belgian beer parties a friend threw. It's a hazy golden-brown beer with a fluffy white head. The aroma was yeast, malt, and some cloves. The taste was a little sweet malt, with some citrus tones, and some complex spiciness."

[4] Review by Stoutlover72 from Northern, California, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (3/26/2008 2:53:01 PM)
"Now this is what a tripel is all about. Man, what a great beer. Suprised at how easy the 750ml bottle went down with me and my brother. If there was anything to be nitpicky about this this beer, it was the sludgey chunks at the bottom. Man that stuff looked like it belonged at the bottom of the Okeefanokee Swamp. But with some cafeful decantation, that sludge stayed where it was supposed to stay.
The beer pours out a beautiful honey golden color with a big bright head with slow dissipation. Aroma of honey, apple juice, cloves, dust, roses, even some slight pepperyness to it. I could go on smelling this for a long time and continue to find new aromas. Mouthfeel is near perfect, not overly carbonated, but just right. Slight stickyness to it. Flavors were just as complext as the aroma. Grassy, yeasty, light fruits, cotton candy, pepper, vanilla, and floral. The alcohol reveals itself with a final nip towards the end and it finishes on a high note."

[5] Review by Phishpond417 from Madtown, Wisc, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/18/2008 2:01:14 PM)
"This beer was worth every penny, definately a refresher after the last few beers i tried weren't that great. Pours a vibrant golden colour with a large white top. Carbonation is excellent, awesome retention in the head. Aroma is slightly sweet, and somewhat floral with a little bit of carmel undertones. taste is fabulous- acidic, citrusy- lots of tropical fruit- orange, lime, and a faint peach."
