| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 13, 2010 This poured a murky yellow. Initial taste has some very strong wild yeast characteristics of sourness. Sweetness balances out the sour in a pleasant way, with a faint bitterness on the aftertaste. Not the most complex belgian tripple but certainly a pleasant one. FlssmrBrewAlum (1249), Lisle, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 9, 2010 750 ml bottle courtesy of Cletus. Thanks! Pours a bright hazy gold hue, crisp and well carbonated, a huge white bubbly head that dies substantially to a decent layer, laces ok. Aromas are a blast of sweet malts, fruity apple, banana, and pear esters mesh with straw, cereal grains, and lighter Belgian spice. Very fruity and dry on the nose, moving towards pear and apple especially dominant esters. Light spice, fairly sweet, dry champagnesque feel. Initial is fairly sweet, apple, pear, honey, cereal malts couple with dry champagne yeast and a touch of Belgian spice. The fruity esters stick on the palate, but dryness and some faint sweetness take dominance, leave their mark overall. Largely, a solid beer that is constructed well. However, this is not my style.. Despite this it is certainly clean, dry instead of overly sweet. Dry, floral hop essence in the finish, decent bitterness but gets swallowed up by esters. I could dig this. lithy (1885), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
