DocLock (3958), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA May 12, 2008 Bottle from State Line. Pours turbid orangy with 3-fingers of fluffy, white head. Nose is dry florals, spicy yeast, white pepper, malt. Tastes floral, spicy, malty, with citrus, some orange zest, and a bit drier flavor as it warms. Solid complexity.
heemer77 (3609), North Liberty, Iowa, USA Jul 16, 2008 Hazy dark gold amber with a light yellowish khaki head. The aroma is spicy with lotsw of cinnamon and pears. There is also some funky leather and dandelions. The taste is initially very spicy with cinnamon and black pepper. The finish is woody and a little dry, evne after the sweet pear like fruit middle. A decent, and possibly the spiciest tripel I have ever tried. sayravai (2993), Helsinki, Finland Jul 8, 2008 (Bottled) Very hazy orange with a beautiful, creamy and firm, lacy head, that lasts longer than the beer. Honey-malty, fruity, slightly moldy aroma with vanilla and some acidity. Pale-malty, slightly cardboardy flavor with orange-peel and medium acidity. Alcohol is well hidden without excess sugar. Medium-bodied with quite high, but smooth carbonation. Doesn’t change much with yeast. Not the most complex of refreshing tripel, but gorgeous-looking, quite balanced and enjoyable still. Some of the acidity could be traded for fruitiness, though. Miksu (1175), Jyväskylä, Finland Jun 22, 2008 0.33 l bottle. Murky yellow brown color with small vanishing head. Meaty, yeasty, candyish and toffeish aorma with notes of vanilla and pepper. Sweetish, candyish, soapy and peppery flavor with orange and cristmas cookie spices. Soapy yeastiness mask other flavors. Brewer101 (161), New Jersey, USA Jun 8, 2008 very solid triple, the pour was a medium orange color with a lot of head, nice lacing and sediment. The Aroma was of wheat and honey. Maybe a little orange in there. The flavor was smooth with a nice finish, there were traces of wheat, alc, malt, and citrus. Good beer.
