Schroppfy (1741), Ohio, USA Sep 19, 2004 Niiiiice. Smoothed-out de Proeuf yeast (that stuff is wicked weird) - big haziness with a spiciness that fits style nicely. Big pepper and some funkiness (cheesy). Good.
MrBunn (949), Western, Pennsylvania, USA May 7, 2008 Bottle. Color is a hazy orange with a sparse head. Aromas are grassy and sweetly fruity. I’d agree with others that pears and peaches are good descriptors of the fruit aromas. Flavor is pretty much on par with the aromas... sweet fruits and a bit of a yeasty and grassy undercurrent, all of which give way to a warm alcohol finish. Mouthfeel is fairly thin, which works well for the crisp flavors that it is working with. TheBeerOrg (1402), Kentucky, USA Apr 14, 2008 Pours bright orangish golden with a mostly receding wispy tan head. Aroma of peaches, alcohol, pear, and citrus. Taste of pear, peach, fruity esters, citrus and higher alcohols. Full bodied, lightly sticky with lush carbonation. A good tripel, although it’s lacking some refinement. Tmoney99 (3740), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Apr 6, 2008 Bottle from River’s Bend. Poured cloudy yellow with an average fizzy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate yeasty, sour citrus and small alcohol aroma. Medium body with thick particles. Medium sweet & sour citrus flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Solid beer. heemer77 (3827), Savannah, Missouri, USA Apr 4, 2008 Thanks for the bottle, Duane. Dark gold and orange body with a light white head. The aroma is perfume and sweat with some peach pie. The taste has some nice peach pie and cinnamon. A highly carbonated body complements the sweet and slightly funky beer. That nice note of peach continues throughout the beer. Nicely made. kapusta (74), Dover, Delaware, USA Mar 23, 2008 Thin white head on top of nearly clear golden body. One empty, the bottom of the bottle contained all the yeast, therefore a clear look. Aroma was of honey and sweet cotton candy. I expected the same for the body, but found that to be quite dry and bland. Actually disappointed, because this lacked the flavor that the aroma lead way to. Bottle was from 2002, so maybe it lost some wallop after time. Will try again if I can find.
