Pours orange with a large white head. The aroma has banana esters, spices, pepper, graininess, clean malt and Belgium tripel yeastiness. This is fairly dry, but there is a bit of sweetness. Medium body that’s slick and offset by quite a bit of semi-sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with a rich taste, but it quickly dries out with lots of peppery spiciness, slight abv heat and earthy yeast. The finish is smooth and spicy. This is a nice American tripel, but considering it is priced like high quality Belgium versions I don’t see me revisiting this one too often.

Aug 22, 2008 A hazed orange pour with tan head and lace. Clove and hot cinnamon spice on the nose. Corriander and a decent bitter. Very good carbonation and mouthfeel for the style. A beer I would like to sample again with a clean fresh palate.

Aug 19, 2008 Sampled at the 2008 Music City Brewers Fest. Hazy orange with a frothy white head that left light lacing. Nice fruit, malt, and spice mix in the aroma. Sweet fruit flavor with a hop backing. Medium body and lively carbonation. Starts sweet but ends with a slight bitterness.

Aug 18, 2008 Solid tripel. Pours a hazy gold with a dense, rocky white head. Lively carbonation (the wife says too much, I say about right). Plenty of spice and yeast in the flavor, with a malty sweet finish. More caramel and hops come out as it warms up.
