3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Spicy yeasty aroma with some fruity sweetness. The flavor has spicy yeast, fruity phenolic notes, and a hint of peachy fruitiness. Solid.
2.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
I didn’t dig this one too much. Nose is what I’d expect from a tripel, bright, sweet, yeasty, then it’s down hill from there. Body doesn’t have much palate, and it’s wayyy too carbonated. Stuff has more bubbles than champagne. I guess the finish is hoppy, but why? Doesn’t feel like a tripel, and doesn’t taste good.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
pours golden with a slight hue with a frothy white head. medium yeast flavors, honey, wheat, medium maltied, some vinous sauternes notes, semi-sweet. nothing at all spectacular, or complex but a good brew.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Reviewed from notes.
Appearance is a nice golden color with a white head and not too much lacing. Nose brings forward spice, grain, pear, and a bit of alcohol. The taste is spice, pepper, and alcohol along with some mildly-fruity grain. Light to medium feel with good carbonation. Not enough oomph as far as I’m concerned, but still pretty tasty.

(bottle) clear pale golden colour with tall white head; aromas of tart fruit and spice; balanced and tasty
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
From the 330 ml. bottle marked 17IH-13:10. There is an excellent, albeit highly foamy pour that comes up pale yellow-orange and a bit cloudy. There is a nice yeasty and malty aroma on the nose and the alcohol is also vaguely noted. The body is medium. The taste has a sharp and bitter bite to it but the overall experience is smooth. I thought it was a nice ale.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Asao. Clear deep gold to light amber with tall, foamy head. Herb and mineral aroma, fruits, a bit tropical but dry, alcohol. Strong, dry flavor, fruity and a bit spicy and herbal. Rather hot and peppery. Decent, but boozy.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours slightly cloudy light gold with sudsy white foam. Smells of pear, honey. Tastes of alcohol, coriander, light wheat, lightly hops bitter, pilsner-esk.
