4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 Papillon (280) - Sudbury, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 12, 2010
330 mL Bottle. Murky pale gold body with a 2-finger frothy white head that settles to a tenacious layer leaving ample lace. Aroma of light sweet malts with complex fruity notes and subtle hints of yeast, pine, and spices. Sweet malts with a yeast bite dominate the flavor; a complex fruity expression in the aftertaste, and a fruity and very subtle bubblegum finish. I could get addicted to this.

Big Bottle on sale $6.99. Hazy golden colored with a huge off white head. Aroma of fruits, spices, yeast and pine needles. Flavor of fruits, spices, grass, yeast and pine needles. This was a alright triple, really not a big fan of the style. Too much yeast.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20 kuphish (351) - Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA - JAN 8, 2010
750ml bottle. Pours a clear, golden body with abundant yeast particulate. Large, puffy white head with nice lacing. Dusty, spicy yeast in the nose with some cereal and sweet malt. Crisp malt in the flavor profile with more of the yeast flavors - some pepper and light pear with a touch of citrus. Some more tangy citrus notes follow. Body is light and crisp with lively carbonation and a clean finish. No discernable alcohol except for the warmth after swallowing. Overall an excellent beer and one of my favorite tripels.
