Jan 17, 2008
Clear amber color with no head.
Light smell of apples, spicey yeasts.
Good carbonation despite the complete lack of a head, medium bodied.
Has a raw, sweet and spicey flavor of apples, dark pit fruits and yeast. Not much of an alcohol burn here thankfully.
For the Tripel style this brew is way out in left field.
Probably worth a try but not a brew I’ll revisit any time soon. 08/2006

Oct 11, 2008 Pours clear yellowish but a bit darker, good doughey head. Taste is totally off, this does not strike me as a true tripel. Lots of vinous flavor here that reminds me more of a quadrupel despite the coloring. Some dark fruits, this beer is a contradiction. I’m also feeling some hoppy bitterness on the palate. This beer is more of a clusterfuck, pardon my language, than anything. It’s not all bad but not what I expected when I was looking for a good tripel. Taste at your own risk.

Oct 11, 2008 Bottle from the Utah State Store. Pours a deep amber color with a medium white head. The aroma is very sweet; loads of caramel and candies. The taste was simple but nice; lots of sweet flavors, some light hops, a bit of sweet fruit, and overall an simple, but enjoyable brew. A bit of warmth, but not overpowering.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle from Lee’s Discount Liquor, Las Vegas
Clean amber color with a fine perlage. Not much aroma. It has a strong body, sweet flavor, too strong alcohol kick. Sweet booze, not a Triple anyway, more like a variation of Malt Liquor, completely missing any Belgian quality factor, any interest; and the big bottle suddenly appears as an ambitious task…

Oct 4, 2008 Sour funk aroma: apples, peaches, and red grapes, and some maple syrup.
Pours a transparent dark amber red with no head.
Flavor: Sour apple up front, hard candy follows, with a nice mellow fruit flavor finish, like apricot and blackberry jam.
Palate is a bit thick and syrup like, but the flavor doesn’t linger.

Sep 28, 2008 A pretty average brew that pours 14 karat gold with a tight yet diminutive white head. Very sweet with caramel, toffee, and noticeable alcohol burn. Not complex...not unique...but not bad. I’d drink it again in a pinch.
