4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
From a bomber. Lively head. Sweet boozy aroma. Flavor is sweet lively and slightly doughy with noticeable alcohol kick. Very well balanced and tasty. My description doesn’t do it justice.

Citrus fruit and yeast aroma with honey rounding things out. Sediment laden yellow, surprisingly still (best by 3/19...really?) Near sour sweetness, sort of saison like and not sugar sweet like some blond Belgians. Seems well hopped. Sharp body, a touch of pastiness, dry enough not to be classically refreshing. Combines two of my favorite things: the GD and tripel ale.

Amazing Tripel that didnt have a lot of the high bite that comes with the yeast in some of this style. Nice alcohol percentage balances out the esters.

12 oz. bottle. Bright orange color, with a medium, pillowy off-white head. Mandarin oranges, bread dough, bananas, and cloves dominate the nose, with some notes of bubblegum, hay, and apples. Citrus sweetness up front, with some tartness and light bitterness in the finish. Heavy body, chewy, and a little acidic. This is a surprisingly delicious and flavorful tripel. The esters add a nice fruity touch. One of the best American tripels I’ve tried.

Small bottle. Big fresh yeast, slight honey, and sweet fruity nose. Light straw color. Mild yeasty peach initial / mid has more yeast, with a bit of alc burn and then gentle sweetness final has a push of sugar and some harsh yeastiness. Medium body. Okay.

Bottled. Nose of pilser-like malt, wheat, grains, grass and a bit of vegetable. Sweet, malty flavor, citrus, honey, some minerals. Soft palate. Not much happening.

Really good example of the style. Boulevard is a great brewery and this is just another example.
