22oz bottle from Binny’s Lincoln Park. Pours a cloudy, bright golden-orange colored body with a finger-width, frothy, white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is big doughy Belgian yeast, pale malts, a light herbal hopping, some banana esters, and a light clove phenol. A light pear and orange fruitiness. Flavor is similar. Big doughy Belgian yeast up front with a bready pale malt backing. Some lemon and orange citruses with a nice pear as well as a light clove spice and banana ester in the middle. Herbal hopping gives this a medium-light bitterness and helps it dry pretty nicely. Finishes with lots of doughy yeast, clove, and a bit of a zesty lemon citrus. Lengthy aftertaste following a medium body and a medium-light carbonation with just a slight alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent tripel. Lots of doughy yeast, a pleasant dry herbal hopping, some clove and banana, and a light fruity zestiness. Nice beer.
