I was fortunate to locate a 750 bottle of Tripel at Downtown Fine Spirits and Wines in Colorado Springs last month, by other sources it appears Bristol may not brew this beer any longer. No matter to me, I have it to sample and so I will. I take off the cage and remove the cork to a hearty pop. The view is a cloudy, dark gold followed by a decent but promptly settling head of almost white foam. The scent is appropriately decent with yellow fruit, yeast and biscuits. I take a taste and find apricots, citrus, white bread, hay and some earthiness. Equal measures of sweetness and bitterness, I think, not much of either. A straight-forward tripel, no flash. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

750 c&c from LetsPour.com. Pours translucent gold with a creamy/foamy off-white head. Aroma is fruity ester with a little spice. Med body. Flavor is bready with Belgian yeast spice. Arguably some banana ester. This is a rather "plain" tripel - which works really well. Finishes fruity/bready/dry with a little spice.

Bottle @ Rackhouse Colorado Rare Beer Tasting. Pours a hazy golden yellow appearance with a white head. Somewhat bubbly, spicy yeasty, light banana, a bit citrusy flavor. Kind of toasty malty, spicy yeasty, lemon, a bit earthy flavor.
