Nov 29, 2007 Bottle thanks to kryptic. Aroma of sweet candy sugar, some citrusy orange. Fairly simple but pleasant. Pours bright, hazy gold with a big creamy head that fades quickly. Flavor of sweet malt, lemon zest, some bread dough with a lively yeast component. Fairly rich on the tongue with lively carbonation.

Nov 29, 2007 Nov. 29, 2007. Not a fan of this brewery, but this tripel has a quite-nice aroma & palatel. Well done.

Nov 29, 2007 Pours a nice golden color with a thick frothy white head. Fruity aroma of apple, grape, pear as well as a nice spiciness. The strong abv is excellently masked by a refreshing, crisp taste of white fruit and citrus. A very nice belgian style tripel.

Nov 26, 2007 Looks like they really got this one. Delicate aroma that shows a hint of phenol, plus apple skins and banana and a background of doughy yeastiness. Also something of a sugary breadiness. There’s just a delicate fruity bready spiciness to this aroma that really works. Lightly hazy golden amber color, foamed up quickly on the pour but faded just as quickly. Aah, right at the front of the mouth I get it. Fluffy airy palate with a burst of juicy sweetness right behind the crackling carbonation. There’s more raw sugar in the flavor than aroma, but its never sticky because the mouthfeel is right on. Spicy yeastiness contributes a modicum of complexity, though it could be more so. Finish is semi-dry, and reveals virtually none of its alcoholic strength. This is my first Brooklyn beer since 2002 (and more regularly since 2001) and its clear I’ve missed them.

Nov 26, 2007 I don’t think they entirely got it with the Belgium style. Brookyln oes a lot of things right, but this was a failed attempt. Drinkable, a valiant attempt. Not really perfect for the style though.

Nov 25, 2007 Updated: Jan 16, 2008Hazy golden with nice white and persistent head. Banana, vanilla and wheat are on the nose with a yeasty Belgian nod to the style. The nose has soft fruits, warm bread, and is balanced by a grassy/herbal bitterness. Very smooth drinking. The flavor is a skillful blending of the fruity sweetness, pepper, honeyed bread, and a hoppy bitterness. It finishes on a mildly bitter, dry note. Overall, a wonderful beer from our friends in Brooklyn!

Nov 25, 2007 Bottle from eyedrinkale I think back in May 2007? Pours with a quickly dissapating medium bubble head that is replaced with a nice thin creamy microbubble layer after 10 minutes or so. Cloudy yellow color. Some corriander in the aroma. Little or no signs of oxidation, which I’ve heard is true ot aged triples, such as this one. Taste is clean and leans sweet. Pretty easy to drink. Best with dinner. Very tasty. I like it.
