From the bottle pours hazy yellow/gold with a tall rocky white head. Big estery nose, floral with citrus and a bit of floral spicy hoppiness. This bottle had a ton of carbonation, big pop upon opening and lost a bit of the beer due to gushing. Overall the high carbonation really made this beer nice, really bringing the esters out, kicking up the spiciness, and drying out the finish. This didn’t seem to have the sweetness of a tripel, but sided more towards a saison with the dry hoppy flavor and a bit of wild yeast funkiness to it.

Dec 31, 2008 Cloudy amber with large off white head. Sweet yeasty aroma with coriander and fruity notes. Flavour likewise and it finished nicely dry. Good amount of coriander.

Dec 25, 2008 Dulled golden colored Belgian, with ample foam. Really generic Belgian aroma, shows light notes of peach cobbler. Flavor leans towards the sweeter end of things. Notes of caramel and toffee, with sweet pie. A nice ale, but below average for a Belgian Tripel.

Nov 21, 2008 Bottle(tripel) pours a shiney orange with a very light white head(huge bubbles.) Smells citrusy and sweet with some alcohol on the nose as well as some light malt aromas. Without a doubt the best tripel I’ve ever had. Sweet, but not overly, vibrantly fresh, the bitterness is very in your face it’s hard to forget about it. There is good malt flavors and the yeast characters just add to the wonderful flavors. This is a treat.
