This is a fine offering from GF. Not on par with classic trippel, but a very good attempt.

A: nearly clear. Nice orage-ish-golden color, head started at 1.5 fingers dropping to a 1-2mm disk. no significant lacing. I expect haze with trippels.

S: Weak bready yeast and weaker toasty malt. Has depth and complexity and delivers banana and clove.

T: I get a faint grassy note with a better strong bready note. Yeast is decidedly Belgian with banana, toast, bread, chewy notes. Citrus backnote peeking at colder temps. Reminds me of echos of a slightly less complex La Fin Du Monde.

M: Creamy, no doubt. Smooth. Oily and malty notes cause tongue to respond with a boomerang effect of spritely carbonation at edge of tongue, followed by a thick sweet finish. it's interesting and not quite like most trippels I have tried. It feels elevated somehow. Hide booziness pretty well.

O: nice representation of a trippel but not 100% to style. Interesting.

Decent carbonation when opened; pours a golden, orange-yellow color, with a small amount of head; fruity aroma (not the kind I care for), with a little bit of malt; excellent mouth-feel--it feels very alive on my tongue; good flavor, with no weird or off flavors: it seems well balanced, and has a smooth finish. I am still learning about how Belgium's taste, and some I don't care for, so this one gave me a pleasant surprise. It reminds me somewhat of a barley wine. Although it is a tad too bitter (or sour) for my taste, I like this beer (my SO liked it as well), and I would definitely get it again.

L: Hazy gold under a 1” short lasting white foam collar that provides light lace.
S: Spice, pepper, faint banana, hint of clove, a slight earthiness. Fragrance is medium to medium high.
T: The palate follows the nose with the addition of orange, peach, alcohol sweetness, bubble gum and candi sugar. Starts slightly sweet and then dries out. Lingering yeast and malt flavors. Hop bitterness and flavor above average but balanced by the malt and yeast flavors.
F: Medium body enhanced by soft carbonation.
O: Complex yeast, malt and hop flavors are well balanced.

This beer is bought in may 2014 and has matured in my beercellar for a year.

Nice orange colored beer with a small, creamy, beige-white head. The beer is a little bit hazy. I realkly like that color!

Nose: Belgian yeast, fruit, pear, apple, hay, honey, spices and marzipan.
Taste: Wow! Very much sweet fruit, honey, caramel malt, banana, grass, bread, belgian yeast and citrus.
Body: Full body with medium carbonation. A complex body with a rich structure. Chewy beer! It is sweet and sour in a fantastic combination!

I didn't try this when it was fresh but I can't belive it could be any better than this. One year in the beercellar has matured the beer to almost perfection!
