Bottle at Toncatcher’s T3 Tasting. Cloudy yellow amber color. Easy to drink. Hint of ethanol. Hint of spice. Easy to drink.

My Bottom Line:
Fat honeyed cereals and fruity edges end up in shallow wooden hop bitterness in this liquorous Tripel.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A ring of foam circles the hazy orange blond.
-This is obviously underattenuated for my tastes in the style.
-Alcohol warmth make the mouthfeel feel even heavier.
-This remains a pleasant sipper, but it is far from standing out in its category.

Bottle.

For starters, you do not want to have to say the name of this beer if you’ve had a bottle or two. The beer is quite nice though, and thankfully shared with my brother. The beer pours out a light amber color, streams of carbonation forming from the bottom with a super large 4" thick head. Aroma is quite fruity, apricots and pears being mostly dominant, some light floral notes and alcohol wafting up too. Sweet on the palate, with more light fruits coming on strong, alcohol is also prevalent. Lemon cookies around mid-palate after awhile. Decent beer.

Pours hazy dark brown. Medium-light body and carbonation. Sweet, but sort of murky toffee nut taste. Doesn’t seem entirely on style. Not too bad, just not what I was expecting.

T3 tasting. A bottle I got in trade from Acknud. Thanks a bunch for this. There was zero release when the cap was popped, so I was a bit worried, especially with eight bodies around the table. Hazy peach in color, and no head at all. Nose is creamy. Melon and pineapple. Taste is citrus with a light bitterness.

Served from a bottle at toncatchers T3 tasting! Thanks to stefanje, lagunitasfan, weeheavysd, fordest, wetherel, alohac and of course toncatcher for suppling the house and grub. I thought this was wierd for a triple, but still loved it. Lots of appricot, pears, and apples detected. Was missing the typical cloves and pepper I am used to in a triple.
