Last HWOH- shared by RLB. Thanks. I love 5 seasons and usually most of their beers are phenomenal. This one was good but pretty standard for a tripel actually. Has a slight solvent aroma along with the fruity esters, light phenols, clove, and even some DMS. Flavor is herbal, somewhat sweet, yeasty, plastic-like phenols, and an alcohol apparent finish. Ok overall.

Aug 9, 2008 Appearance: Opaque, orange-gold body with a small, though sustaining, white head.
Smell: Candied, honeyish maltiness with a big kick of fruit medley and lesser notes of spice and booze.
Taste: Bready maltiness with a full candy and caramel sweetness. Rather tangy fruitiness throughout, tasting of apricots, peaches, and even tropical fruits. Array of spices. Light bitterness. Fruity, drying finish with a light touch of good, clean alcohol.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium-low carbonation.
Drinkability: A fine, quality tripel jam-packed with fruitiness.

Jun 4, 2008 Pretty tasty, kind of taste like Orval meets Golden Monkey in my opinion. Lots of spicy in the nose, with hints of coriander, and fruitcake, with some bready notes that follow through onto the palate. Very biscuity, with a malt sweetness, but the fruit character stick around and it remains dry throughout the finish. I really enjoyed drinking this.
