Nose is loaded with Belgian yeast character of banana and clove with an equally fruity body balanced with a light, earthy hop character. Savor notes of orange and spice followed by a dry finish.

Bottle. Golden color, hazy. Mango and grapefruit in the aroma. Soft earthy hopbitter flavor with blackberries and grapefruit. Just a bit alcoholic. Tasty, fairly dry tripel. Not subtle but charming enough.

I got this to drink in between sips of the imperial stout, thinking "golden" sounded light...but it's a tripel

Sweet light baking spice with a touch of apple. Clear gold with a decent white head. Bubblegum and a touch of spice. Estery as hell and a bit too sweet.

Can bought at Publix in Kissimmee, Florida. Pours a clean golden colour with a creamy warm cap that stays quite long, leaving some good creamy lacing. Aromas of well-blended banana notes with some light spices. Maybe some Belgian Ale yeast sweetness. The first taste I got though, was pretty rusty. As it goes, it does get better. Seems to be the hop that gives this bitter-leaf flavour. The yeast is there. Some wheat as well, creating a mild banana aftertaste. Not bad, but not a Tripel I would go back to. Unless I would like a less expensive one in the States.

Pours a clear amber with a thin head. Aroma of spices. Tastes like a saison but with less of a ferrous influence and more herbs. Palate includes herbs, spruce and spices. Interesting. High ABV is well masked.

(Thanks, Jim! "Ozzy70") Bottle. A- Clove, coriander, banana, mild bubblegum, yeasty, fig, spices. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Clove, coriander, banana, fig, spice. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, spiced finish. O- A lot of spice. A lot of it. Still balanced by some banana and dried fruit like figs. Pretty decent overall. Hardly tastes almost 10% by a long shot.
