A good beer. Cloudy orange and tan color. White foamy head. Bitter Belgian yeast aroma. Smooth yeasty bitter flavor that engulfs the taste buds. I like it. Its fizzy, refreshing and satisfying. I usually go on about good beer like this but don’t need to with this one. Its speaks for itself.

Not quite as good as their tripel but still mighty tasty. Caramel and raisin aroma. Taste is similar with some peppery notes.

Pours a murky copper with a lasting tan head. Aroma is raisin, nuts, and yeasty. Taste is caramel, doughy, some dates, and a little pepper. Lively on the palate and finishes dry. Not bad.

NIce pour... malty sweet with the lingering yeast and super long/mild hop note. Very fresh... Carbonated just right! George A. Hovey says he likes it.... :) Keep brewing and pollinating flowers bruda.

Bottle from batch 001 Bottle 2014. Bottled 1/2/12. Slow gusher, pours with mild chunks, hazed copper with lasting tan head of foam. Aromas are nutty, plums, raisins, currants, leather, prunes, chocolate and light phenols. Medium malt character. A bit spicy with some peppery alcohol notes (and a touch of fusel). Flavors are medium metallic, very sweet, berries, nutty, astringent tannic extraction, malty. Medium esters, caramel, chocolate, nutty, cocoa, DMS vegital. Lively bubbles, medium dry. Needs some work.

Pours a hazy rust-tinged burnt orange with a small white head. Aroma is kinda tangy with orange peel, sourdough bread, toast, grain, hay, slight caramel and raisin. Flavor of caramel, sourdough bread, raisin, grass, pepper, and a slight chardonnay-like flavor. Finishes with the yeast drying things out slightly and an aftertaste toast, tangy sourdough yeast, and some caramel. Medium to light bodied, fizzy mouthfeel, doesn’t quite hold it all together. Decent beer, but the flavors are very light and tangy in nature. Pouring the yeast in helps the beer, but overall it’s merely an average example of a style I love.

OK, everything about this beer screams Tripel not dubble, which almost makes me think they put it in the wrong bottle, but thats all I will say about that because its still a great beer. Aroma is sweet and spiced like apples and pears with cinnamon. Color is a deep golden with nice white head. Fairly malty flavor but those spiced fruit flavors come through quite a bit. A great beer, however misleading.

pours an amber hue with a small white head that is mostly diminishing aroma is malty with hints of barley and a slight taste of hops flavor is the same but with a metallic finish medium mouthfeel with good carbonation

Bottle, muddy orange amber with tight white foam, aroma of fruity yeast and malt, sweet flavor of brown sugar, cookie dough , fruity with husky finish

On tap at Big Texas Beer Fest. Pours amber with beige head. Aroma of Candi sugar, dough with a touch of farmhouse and fruity esters. Flavor is much the same. Light-medium mouth feel with fizzy carbonation. Overall, is ok.

bottle thanks to dyetube. amber pour with a cream ring of froth. nose is caramel, malts, dough, dried fruits, and sweet. chewy palate, heavy malts, followed by caramel, dough, touch of sweetness, almost honey.
