September 28th, 2015 - Enjoyed at UCSD's Loft, this Trippel begins with a graham cracker scent and just a touch of toasted marshmallow. With a little chocolate you'd have the whole s'more package, bit without it it is still a nice and alluring aroma with implications of a forthcoming dessert. The style of the flavor reminds me more of a hefeweizen than a trippel, with its huge notes of close, banana and a medley of other spices on both the front and the aftertaste. The difference is it has more of a grain depth in the aftertaste, like a Biere de Mars. That aftertaste lingers a long time, which is both a boon and a bust, but overall, enjoyable even if it doesn't have the traditional profile of esters that trippels bring to the glass.

Draft tonight at Bittercreek.. Surprisingly I've had this one other time in PDX.. Spiciness is all about the ginger and I guess some coriander that adds depth to the yeasty notes and then accentuated some lemon aspect.. Weird and seems very overspiced and does not allow the yeast to sing at all... I didn't care for it last time and maintain that idea.

Review is from notes
Look: Pours a nice golden color with a fluffy white head that leaves good lacing
Smell: Yeast spice, clove, banana, a little lemon, and some fruit
Taste: Pear, coriander, pepper, clove, a little banana, dry finish. Some nice hops in there as well
Feel: Light to medium body, full carbonation
Overall: Pretty good, I'm sad to see this was only a one off and I won't see it again.

Good strong beer. Deceptively strong. Sweet for a tripel. Slightly fruity smell. Easy to drink. Enjoyable after taste. Tried at Randolph's beer
