Captain Lawrence Xtra Gold

Pours a pale golden color with a white head. Aroma is malty, grainy, brett, musty, and peppery hops. Flavor is malty, grainy, wheaty, brett, and a dry, peppery hop finish.

Objectively speaking: Grainy, very fresh, delicate, floral and lean tripel. Very drinkable.
I like: Clean yeast profile. Esters and amarillo are well blended to the point of being easily confusing in their soft citrus influences (think mandarine, tangerine, peaches). Beautiful soft pils malt- crisp and honeyed. Very fresh smelling. Well integrated american hops, fairly bitter, but certainly not astringent. Hugely drinkable, light-medium body, crisp and engaging carbonation.
I dislike: Clear appearance. Not that it is overwhelming with its alcohol - it does not feel like 10%, but as a consequence to this very lean body, I found it a bit overly alcoholic/grainy in the finish.

Pours clear, light gold, with a lively, massive head. At least three inches of dense white froth settle down slowly, revealing some beautifull lacework. A singular strand of minute orbs relentlessly ascend from the bottom of the tulip glass. Aromatics are filled with fruit, vanilla, and warming alcohol. A kiss of malt and honey finish through, along with a minerally nod. The classic Belgian triple nose paired perfectly with fresh peaches and tangerines. Wowza. The mouthfeel is crisp and creamy, with vibrant carbonation. Tropical fruits and phenols dominate the pallet, with warming alcohol following closely behind. Exeptionally dry and fruity. Bitterness is firm and smooth, but not overbearing. Most of the hopping is in the flavoring and aromatics. Alcohol is warming, and the beer is a bit big for style...Perfect! Finishes with lingering orange, peach, and marmalade melange, some minimal lingering heat, with a faint vanilla note. Probably the best domestic triple I’ve ever had.

Bottle (2006). Hazy yellow and golden in colour with a medium sized white head. Mlaty with a strong honey sweetness - notes of yeast, spices and fruit. Way too carbonated.

Thanks to Padrefan98 for sharing. Pours light amber with lots of carbonation and a decent head. Aroma of light fruit and some bread. Flavors of dough, some brett sourness,and over-ripe pear.

Cloudy yellow colour with a white head. Hoppy, fruity and light spicy aroma with a vague sweet note. Malty, light sweet flavor with hoppy fruity notes. Light dry, biter and spicy finish.

750ml thanks to dmac621. Are you kidding me? Another great beer by CL. Lots of bubbles in this one that were fun to watch. Flavors of sweetness, and some bitterness. Awesome stuff that words don’t do justice. Captain Lawrence I am hypnotized by your beer efforts.

750 ml bottle shared with Padrefan98. Slightly hazy apricot colored pour with nice white head. Lots of bubbles coming up from the bottom. Aromas of sweet bread and citrus. Flavors were sweet up front with citrus hops and nice dry finish. Pretty darn tasty. Fred, I am loving your CL hookup.
