Oct 7, 2007 Light bright orange pour with a bubbly quickly fading head. Smell is like every fucking belgian i’ve ever had. That awful funky, rotten yeast smell that I abhor, only with a bit of rotten fruit and alcohol covering it up. Taste is lightly fruity, dry bland sweetness. Uninteresting, and a complete drainpour for me. I’d rather drink any pale lager.

Oct 4, 2007 Not as great as I had hoped, I would much prefer Chimay (white), but like most Tripels, definately enjoyable.

Oct 2, 2007 batch #96. pours a cloudy dark yellow with a one finger fluffy white head. aroma is wheat, yeast, and banana with some lemon and a touch of hops. has a medium body with good lacing and carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma but stronger with some bread. not to bad kind of a weiss tripel combo. the hops come out a little more as it warms in the flavor. also the carbonation is lively on the tongue.

Sep 28, 2007 Pours a slightly hazy gold body. Aroma is candy sugar sweet, herby and a little earthy. Flavour is sweet and yeasty with s spicy tinge. Turns to an earthy grassy hop bitterness as it finishes. Well balanced brew.

Sep 25, 2007 Light grain and light yeast aroma. Nice balance. Cloudy pale orange color with a large white head. Light fruit malt taste. Not as grapish as other tripels. Good amount of carbonation.

Sep 19, 2007 Corked bottle, batch 102. Pale gold in color. Clover, a hint of citrus, and a touch of banana in the aroma. The taste is very clove, spice, corriander, and yeasty too. The finish is long and dry, but in a good way.

Sep 14, 2007 Draft at Capones. Looks like a tripel. Smells like a tripel. Soild beer nothing wrong, but again nothing special. A soild interpretation of the style.

Sep 5, 2007 Bottle. Fantastic balance in this aroma. Caramel malt, lemon hops, and a moldy basement for the yeast. I also noted an undescribable spice, and pumpkin. Head is very fizzy, white and thick which diminishes slightly and has excellent lacing. It poured crystal clear amber in the begining, then got hazier as I went deeper into the bottle. Taste starts lightly sweet and moderately acidic, then the long finish is lightly sweet and bitter and moderately acidic and just a touch sour. Palate is light to medium, between watery and oily and has a lively carbonation. It finishes slightly astringent. If Belgian tripels were my favorite style the overall score could’ve easily been an 18 or 19.
