vtafro (452), , New Jersey, USA Jun 3, 2009 Updated: Jun 4, 2009On tap. Have not experineced a bad beer from captain Lawrence to date, this was a great tripel with American roots, hopped up for a change of pace. Ibrew2or3 (2714), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA May 31, 2009 Courtesy of MCLK. Pours clear gold with nice off white head. The aroma is candi sugar, mild green apple, prunes and raisins. The taste is smooth sweetness to start and moves quickly into apple, prune and raisin notes. By midway a modest level of black pepper surfaces from the depths. Smooth and tasty brew. riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA May 26, 2009 Aroma of lots of green apple, lemon, earthy hop bitterness, some grain, light dusty yeast and a touch of sweet yeast too. Pours yellowish golden, hazy with a huge head. Flavors of mostly green apples and lemons, underneath there are notes of yeast, dust, and a good bitterness that rounds out the finish. Perhaps a touch of pepper. The hop presence is earthy and a touch oxidized as this one would have probably been very hoppy if it was fresh. Noticeable alcohol warmth in the finish. A little over carbonated for my liking but still a decent brew all in all. markwise (1132), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA May 25, 2009 Thanks MCLK for the share. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Nose is pepper, apple, sugar, some brett (maybe), and some caramel. Flavor is pepper, malt, lemon, red apple, and some cloves. Flavor lingers with malt and pepper. TampaBrew (746), Tampa, Florida, USA May 25, 2009 courtesy of MCLK. poured a goldish light orange. Nose is candy sugar, sweet malt, fruity and floral hops. Flavor is sweet candy and fruit. Sugars and yeast. Beerapprentice (111), Hopatcong, New Jersey, USA May 24, 2009 On tap at Rattle n Hum. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a thick but quickly disappearing white head. Aroma of pine, cloves, citrus, floral hops, and honey. Taste is similar to the aroma. Tmoney99 (4656), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA May 7, 2009 Bottle shared by shegadeyo.
Poured clear amber color with an average frothy white head that lasted with good lacing. Complex spicy citrus and yeasty aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium citrus balanced flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate to long duration with a small alcohol bite.
This is a refreshing good beer. ElDuderino (136), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA Apr 28, 2009 On tap at Deep Ellum. Body was a dark copper hue with a foamy white head. There is a subtle sweet honey aroma, like you get off a fresh baked loaf of bread with honey in it. The flavor has a very subdued soft hop front that is more citrus peel and grapefruit than pine. The back end is full of whole grains, caramel malts and wheat with a sweet honey essence finish. This tastes like a really good tripel that was aged for a few years and then dry hopped, if that’s even possible. I am blown away.
