Jun 14, 2008 I don’t generally care for tripels, but I found this incredibly enjoyable, and I’d love to pick this up again! Lightly hazed yellow golden with a thin white head. Dry estery fruit with some peppery saaz style hops maybe? (I’m not terribly surprised to see Amarillo listed, here, but I didn’t expect that!) Subdued carbonation, average body. Sweet fruity alcohol over peppery hopps. Saaz sort of pepper? Lingering astringency, alcohol. Dry, very refreshing. Comes off a lot like a drier European strong lager. Very nice indeed.

Jun 13, 2008 Courtesy of Dickensonbeer, 750ml Bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with a small white head. Nose is fruity, apples, pear, yeast, and mild spices. Initial taste is yeasty, lots of pear and Macintosh apples. Mid palate to finish displays a touch spices, medium hop bitterness and candi sugar. Good palate duration. Some spot lacing and good head retention. Medium body. Easy drinking, refreshing and enjoyable.

Jun 5, 2008 hazy yellow pour, big thick white head. Aroma of apples, pears, oranges, and yeast. Flavour is yeasty, and quite hoppy. Lots of citrus, and apples. Very very crisp finish, nice lingering bitterness. Excellent tripel.

Jun 4, 2008 2008-05-31. Gushed out of the bottle, eager to reach my glass. Hazy yellow body with a modest creamy white head. (3+) Aroma is a touch muted, mild yeast, touch of alcohol, muted fruit and pale malt (7+). Flavour is surprisingly subtle and smooth, light fruit, sweet pale malt, light bitterness in the finish. Smooth average palate suits it nicely. Very drinkable. Much more delicate than expected, perhaps owing to it having some time to meditate and find itself in the bottle? Just really nice. 2006 Vintage Bottle, Post-Mondial Tasting, Montreal

Jun 3, 2008 Bottle @ Mondial 2008.
Big citrus/pine nose, light hazy yellow, pours a tiny, long lasting white head. Wow the hops are extremely citrus, like kumquat, malt is hiding in the background. Medium bodied, stingingly bitter, very dry. Terrific!

May 31, 2008 Thanks go out to scootny for this one. Pours a foggy gold with a thin white head. Nose is spiced with some citrus and a pleasant tone of alcohol. Lemon is definitely there. Flavor is spiced and funky. Slight alcohol. It’s pretty tangy. Nice feel to it. Good liquid body and a biting and distinct carbonation. This is a nice tripel. It’s a bit hot, but still well made.

May 30, 2008 So far, the only thing that Capt. Lawrence has made that I enjoy is their Nor’Easter. Fantastic beer. This beer? Not so fantastic, but still tasty enough I guess. The beer pours out a cloudy golden color with a nice 3-finger thick head. Aroma is some honeyish malts, light fruity profile and some herbal bitterness that I liked. Flavors are citrusy sweet, some yeast and spices also make an appearance but the alcohol is nearly too much. It wasn’t quite at that level yet, but still very noticeable. Reminded me of eating a fresh apricot dipped in pine sap.
