3.1 Colour is dark golden with a creamy top. Aroma is caramel,. Flavour is caramel, fruity, and alcohol.

3.6 Pours amber with a beige head. Aroma is caramel, raisin and plum. Flavour is caramel, fruity, raisin and plum.

3.7 Caramel and orange blossom honey. Super delicious. I could drink a whole bottle of this stuff.

3.2 (22oz bottle) clear rich orange with no bubbles. Nose of Candi sugar, spices, coriander, honey and chlorine. Taste very sweet, Candi sugar, spicy, honey, candied orange/ginger. Sweet medium bodied finish.

3.5 A decent offering, well worth the money and i’d possibly get it again. Just didn’t knock my socks off. I dont know why, but i really like american Tripels. This one has really clean pilsner malt flavors, hints of hop bitterness, dry and drinkable.

4.3 Appearance: This beer poured a nice hazy orange with a 2 inch white head. Lacing was present but minimal. Nice looking beer with lots of carbonation bubbles. Smell: Nice sweet smell. Hints of fruits and candy with subtle hints of spice. Taste: The sweetness from the malts hits you first with wonderful hints of fruits(green apples, grapes) and spices(cloves and pepper). Mouthfeel: Very crisp brew that has a medium heavy body with lots of carbonation. Drinkability: Great beer. Perhaps a little better if it wasn’t so sweet. Overall though this was great and I would love to get another bottle.

3.5 Hazy orange in the glass with a frothy white head. Nice lacing. Very fruity, green apple and pear, with some sweet spice. Hops not apparent. Again, pretty fruity and spicy and surprisingly sweet. Sour apples, pears, clove and coriander. Really malty and sweet. Some spicy hops in the finish but the malt is the boss. I like a bit more driness in my tripels or this would be a rated a little higher. Pretty damn good anyway.

3.2 light golden amber with small white head. this beer is pure clove, cinnamon, and banana nut bread.

3.2 22oz. Bottle. Pretty good ale, nothing special. Like that Lagunitas brews interesting beers. Would get again, good late nighter.

3.3 22 ounce bottle. I know this isn’t exactly fresh, so hopefully it will have aged well. Served in a snifter, the beer pours a hazy orange/amber color with pretty much no head at all. There is a small amount of lacing. Aroma is sweet and fruity, the brew smells like apples, Belgian yeast, bananas, bready malt, and candi sugar. Taste is similar to the aroma, with a little bit of hoppiness and alcohol noticable in the finish. Mouthfeel/body is medium with moderate carbonation. Drinkability is decent, it’s not hard to drink at all. Not a bad tripel, but it’s not a great one either.

2.8 Bottled 0,66 ltr Clear dark orange-brown color, small white head. Very bready, wort-like, syrapy, a bit citrusy aroma. Medium-bodied. Slightly alcoholic. Sweet peach molasses, rye bread, some American hoppyness. This is not among the better Lagunitas, but label is super!

3.0 Bottled (from Kihoskh, CPH). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is grass, some nuts, mild yeast, bisquits and some slight notes of caramel. Flavour is caramel malts, some biscuits, mild grassyness as well as some fruityness.

3.4 Bottled. A hazy dark golden beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma has notes of malt, fruit, and yeast. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, fruit, and yeast.

4.4 Lagunitas Brewing Company--We’re Only In It For The Money--2008 Release--22 oz. Bottle--8.20%--50IBU’s? (4.5 / 5.0) Belgian Ale--Trippel No Notes. Nice Brew. Sampled 8/3/2008. $3.49 Each.

3.2 From a bottle poured an amber color with a fair amount of head. Strong spicy malty flavor with a lasting finish.

3.6 Orange copper color with a small wispy head. Aroma is sweet with some yeast, grain and spice. Nice level of carbonation and has some fruity esters emanating form aroma and add to the flavor. Nice sweetness, yeast and spice.

3.0 Bottle: Fiery amber, sediment floats about, moderate to large rocky off-white head, spotty lacing. Heavy bready nose, faint floralness. Seems very doughy and alcoholic. Bready on the tongue, meaty, not as floral as I would have liked. Has a heavy cream soda flavor. Spritzy on the tongue. Body and mouthfeel are fairly hefty. Lingering alcohol on the finish. Pretty much like many other American examples, too heavy on the malts and not enough floralness. This one also comes across as alcoholic. Nothing out of the ordinary, but a let down considering the limited nature of this one.

3.3 courtesy of Antonio Ruiz - pours a hazy reddish-orange colour with a long lasting beige foam; a nice lace; aroma of gingerbread, almonds and plastic; fairly sweet and with a good malt body; tasty and with a late moderate bitterness; long fruity and almondy finish with some spicy tones and a fair residual sweetness

2.3 Bottle. Pours a hazy burnt orange color with a small white head. Nose is light fruit notes, sweetness, syrupy. Palate us syrupy and flat. Flavor is overly sweet with fruit notes and cloying sugar notes. Seems to be underattenuated. Way too sweet for my tastes.

3.4 Orange copper colored. Sediment. Off white decent head. The smell is caramel, cereal, malts, sugar, spices, and ok. The taste is sweet, malts, caramel, slight spices, and ok.

3.4 Bottle 65cl. @ home. Clear medium to dark orange color with a average, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, caramel, herby, sugar, alcohol, marzipan ? Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft, finish feel light to moderate alcoholic. [20090811]

3.8 Pours a clear golden orange color with a very thin fizzy bubbly white head that immediately disappears leaving no lacing behind. Crisp fruity Belgian yeast aroma with hints of sweet cherry, apple and strawberry as well some alcohol presence. Nicely balanced medium body with a lot of sweet fruity Belgian yeast notes, spice, candy sugar, hops and subtle malt backbone. Hints of apple, cherry, strawberry, plum and blueberry. Although the fruit presence is strong and there is a good bit of candy sugar, it isn’t too sweet with a nice amount of alcohol heat, subtle malt and dry hops balancing things out.

2.6 Bottle: Poured a slightly cloudy orangey color ale with a small foamy head with OK carbonation and minimal retention. Aroma of sweet notes is somewhat overpowering. Taste is a syrupy-like sweet malt base with no fruiter ester and noticeable yeast notes that usually accompany this style. Body has a syrup like texture with average carbonation but alcohol is well hidden. Not very good for the style, this brewery should stick to hops-centric beer IMHO - Nice packaging thought.

3.2 From KHIOSKH, Copenhagen, DK. Bottled, 101009. Golden with small head. Aroma of fruit and alcohol. Flavor is malt, alcohol and yeast.

2.8 Appearance is weak, clear gold with little head. Scent is better, sweet fruit, not much of the spices I fear so much. Taste actually isn’t too bad. Very mild and almost barleywine esque in character. Mouth is a bit thin and too flat.

3.2 Bottle at MesandSim’s tasting Aug 09. Thanks to HogTownHarry for this, he is one of my favourite raters. Oxidised aroma. Gold/orange colour. Peachy aroma, estery. Some what,? like a hoppy tripel. Lots of peach. Still too oxidised though.

3.7 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized off-white colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a transparent typically carbonated orange colored body and an excellent lacing. The mild aroma was floral. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and strongly tingly at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt hops and orange peel. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.

3.4 A Mes rate. Bottle at home. A beautiful clean straIght amber colour with no head at all. Still a really good colour. Superb creme brûlée and malt aroma. Similar flavour. I’m struggling to describe this any better than I already have done. Sim thinks it’s like a can of fruit punch with a shot of vodka in. I really can’t see where she’s coming from but whatever I know I like it. Very sweet but with some big citric hops. Nice bitter sweet finish. Really like it. I have to say a big thanks to Hazza for this, he knows I’m an absolute Zappa nut and he keeps bringing me these so I can decorate my kitchen with them. Hats off to a great friend.

3.5 pours a golden color w/ a nice full white head and tons of sediment. Sweet aromas of candied sugars, some bread and some light alcohols w/ a touch of fruits. Palate is pretty avg but has some nice body in it. Flavor is sweet sugared bread some dry wood a light citrus that reminded me of a sweet ipa. Decent beer.

3.6 Bottle, 22oz. It’s a clear, golden beer with a minimal sized white head. Some alcohol on the nose, with beef-stocky malts, something reminiscent of bourbon, peach and some hops. Sweet, malty flavor with that bourbon-like thing, resiny hops, peaches and a decent bitterness. Full-bodied, sweetish and nicely carbonated. Lasting, bitter finish with peaches. A quite lovely beer, blending hops and malts in a fine way. (090605)
