Bottle. Pours a murky yellow. Thin, white head. Aroma of citrus hops, honey, spices. Flavor is a bit spicy, with hints of bananas and clove. Finish is overwhelmingly warm alcohol.

A clear yellow/golden colored beer, with a very nice foamed head. An aroma of hop, malt and some spices. Also notes of flowers. The taste from hop bitter, very tastefull, and a little spicey and fruity. A very good beer.

Opaque orange-yellow, large two-finger small bubble head that lasts considerably. Nice nose: lots of spice in clove and pepper, some alcohol, slightly floral and lemon - prototypical tripel aroma taken to a nice high octave. Spicy yeast is most noticeable characteristic in the taste, with clove and some lemon and grassy, floral tones. End-palate is off-puttingly alcoholic to the point of fusel-like notes, also some spiciness from the alcohol...but all alcohol in the finish. Dry, spicy, grassy aftertaste. High carbonation but maintains very nice, thick mouthfeel.

Pours a cloudy yellowish brown color with a nice creamy medium sized white head. Nose is apple pie, spice, sugar, clove, and dark fruits. Taste is spicy and satly, somewhat like a tripel but more drinkable. Nice warming finish. High carbonation. Pretty good.

Pours with a big, creamy white head that leaves lots of lacing and has good retention. It covers a hazy golden-brown body. Aroma is rich in spicey hops, clove, raisins, mandrin oranges, and plenty of yeast. Spicey Belgian hop taste with quite a lot of yeast in the finish and aftertaste. Beer-pagne levels of carbonation.
