Not sure if it was a little overcarbonated or if the hops caused the mouthfeel to be strange. However, this was one of the better selections in the six pack I had. I liked the seemingly extra sourness of this.

An interesting tripel--far closer to a strong, citrusy hefeweizen than anything else, really. Very lemony aroma and taste. Tons of carbonation (the bottle made a sound reminiscent of opening champagne when I popped the cap) and pours to a gigantic, frothy white head. Not overly impressed, but not disappointed either. Overall a pretty nice, albeit unique, Belgian tripel.

Bottle. Golden beer with a huge white head. Floral, perfume aroma. Yeasty, apple, floral, some spice and bread all in the flavor. High carbonation. Alcohol present in taste and warming. Dry finish. Could pass on it.

From a 330ml. short, stubby brown bottle with a lot/packaged number on the back label. Made a good appearance, poured a clear pale light golden with a large foamy with tiny bubbles, white head that settled into a thin foamy lacing, good carbonation. Fresh raw apple and pear nose with a dry yeasty and an almost pale lager maltiness in the background. A dry, crisp, carbonated smooth light bodied mouth feel, above average drinkability. Fresh apples and pears taste, a spiciness from the hops, sugary, a pale, slightly dry bread crusty, crisp maltiness, and a dry yeastiness, a little herbal bitterness and carbonated sweet pale maltiness in the finish. A subtle alcohol warmth through out taste, always in the background. A decent Tripel, drinkable and quaffable, if you can find it at an affordable price, recommended.

a monster head (white with some brown sprinkles) on this cloudy gold brew. aroma is of lemon, taste is of a slightly sour white grape. alcohol is felt on the dry finish. very interesting.

Disappointing for a triple. A bit bland. Crisp, however, with flavors of grapes? Sour fruits? Reminds me of almost a highly carbonated dry, white wine.

20 Mar 2006 - Sweet tart hop aroma. Cloudy yellow head drops away quickly with no lacing. Big hop spirit with sweet malt flavour. Tangy bitter hop finish and sweet aftertaste.

Pours cloudy yellow with big white froathy head. Apples and yeasty fragrance. A nice and dry triple with a hint of corriander. Fully carbonated. A lingering granny smith apple sourness. A bit sour for a triple.
