(Caged and corked bottle) This one started out as a gusher, I thankfully opened it over the sink, so there wasn’t that much mess from pouring it. This has a slightly sweet aroma, with a hint of earthy spices. The bottle has visible sediment, and it pours a dark, cloudy yellow, with a giant white head. The beer itself has hints of light fruit, a touch of candi sugar, and a bit of stickiness in the mouthfeel. This is a nice enjoyable Tripel.

citric yeast aroma. taste is yeasty with belgian hop notes. finish is very dry.

First of all, the ABV as listed on the bottle is 9.5% vs. 8.5%. Pours a slightly pale golden with vigorous carbonation and a thick beautiful white head. Aromais subtle; bready and earthy. Taste is smooth and a little sweet from the pale malts. There’s also some grassy notes and mild citrus as well. Refreshing and well balanced, but not complex. Good stuff!

Pours beautiful clear redish amber with a huge creamy off white head leaving nice lacing. Lots of tiny bubbles, nice. Aroma is sweet malty, hoppy, fuity, bread, nutty and raisins.
