I found this not to be a true tripel, but more of an "imperial wit" beer. Nice smelling, with taste of corriander, wheat and banana. A little sweet and not a session beer. Some head, not much lacing. A decent beer, just a little off style, which is fine. This beer makes it's own claim.

Appearance: It has a nice hazy golden/orange color to it. It has a nice thick creamy off-white head that dies down moderately and leaves lovely lacing.

Smell: The aromas definitely give out hints of Belgian yeast, cloves, bready malts, wheat, banana and light coriander.

Taste: Like the aromas, it has some Belgian yeast, cloves, coriander, banana, wheat and bready malts.

Mouthfeel: It has a low carbonation with a nice overall balance and feel.

Drinkability: It's a very smooth drinkable beer accompanied by good flavors and aromas. Quite enjoyable.

$ 17/750 mL bottle at brewery
Undated bottle at 35 degrees (Siberian Express dropped my cellar temp) into snifter; both allowed to warm to 50 degrees before reviewing
Aroma faint, some banana, clove
Head small (2 cm, aggressive pour), white, frothy, diminishing to 2 mm ring and partial layer
Lacing poor – many tiny islands of tiny bubbles which only make the glass look dirty
Body gold, some initial chill haze which disappears as it warms, light effervescence at all temperatures
Flavor moderately sweet, no yeast phenolics detected, some non-specific fruity esters present; no hops, no alcohol, no diacetyl
Palate medium, creamy, lively carbonation

Appearance 3.5, Aroma 3.5, Flavor 3.75, Palate 4, Overall 3.75

This was the beer that introduced me to tripels. It was wonderful to drink. But beware the lack of alcohol taste can really sneak up on you. They should have named it The Deacon of Sneakin'
