3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20Pint at the Repub. Pour is a crystal clear light gold with a spare head that fades quickly to little lacing. Aroma is primarily sweet white grapes, with a faint cracker malt presence, as well as a touch of belgian yeast. Taste starts out nice, with more sweet white grapes backed by a fair light malt backbone, but right when I expect the belgian esters to hit, it just dies. OK, easy drinking, light on the palate with a crisp finish, but the weak finish really hurts this one.

From a 750ml from Bells store. Interesting, spicy and herbal. Definitely a touch of heat, but still somewhat refreshing.

750ml bottle from the general store. Pours light fizzy golden orange with airy white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast and citrus. Taste is right on par with aroma, also some bread, apple, and banana flavors. Admittedly one of my least favorite styles, I’m really not sure why I felt inclined to try this.

Draft. Slightly hazy golden pour. Slight white head. Spicy Belgian nose on this, bright, refreshing, malty, yeasty and some bitter and sour on the finish. Really well crafted!

Aroma was a wild metallic. Appearance was orange with a nice white head. Taste was sweet but bitter, sour, metallic, wild. Definitely Belgian yeast notes. Palate felt thick and foamy.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear golden pour with a white head. Sweet bread and caramel malts with some citrus, mild banana, and peach. Light spice notes, a bit of straw, yeast, and dough. Tastes kind of watery, actually. Some decent caramel and bread sweetness, dough, and fruit. Lots of straw, mild spice, and yeast.

Poured a medium head, aroma is wild. Color is golden and hazy. Has a complex wild flavor and the palate is a little more bland I was expecting to have a bit of carbonation.

Draft - pours clear gold and white head and great lacing. Nose is bread and yeast. Flavor adds bread on steroids. Reminds me of la fin du monde. Sweet. Medium to full body. Impressive.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft to taster. Looks solid; a transparent orange with off-white lacing. Smells sweet, doughy, and yeasty. Tastes like it smells with an average mouthfeel. Good, not great.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
20oz imperial pint at Cock & Bull, for $8. Yes, this place served me a Weizenbock in a 10oz snifter, and then a Tripel in a 20oz pint.. Clear golden color, thin white head. Leaves little lace. Big body. Smooth, crisp, lighter carbonation. More dry finish. Nice banana, light citrus fruity flavor. Little fine particles in the body. More sweet taste, light alcohol in the finish, but not the kind of bite you’d expect from 9%. Was drinkable enough for me to use the first 10oz to wash a burger down. Solid American example of a Tripel.

Clear golden with a thin white head. Aroma was really faint but I could get some pale grain maltiness and a slight peppery yeastiness. Flavor was as expected from the nose. Nice easy going pale grain maltiness, a little doughy yeast, peppery hops with a touch of biscuit and grassiness.
