3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Central City Brew Pub. Pours yellow/gold. Aroma of apple juice, candied sugar and yeast. Flavour predominantly of apples, but also pear and candied sugar. Lively carbonation yet soft on the tongue after a couple of seconds too. Quite sweet. Nice Belgian Trippel.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tap at St. Augustine. Very pale golden pour with a tight creamy white head. The nose is lightly wheaty and very estery. A sweet candy sugar aroma and flavour. Spicy but the spiciness is quite restrained. Fruity with lots of peach and pear as well as a touch of light fruitiness as well. It’s too sweet but it’s not at all malty - which at least means they get the yeast side of things right but something went awry during the fermentation. Soft and reasonably drinkable - but only in a small quantity. Almost honeyish on the back.

GCBF 2010. Slightly hazy golden yellow. Lemony estery aroma, faint band-aid phenols. Chewy pale malt palate, citrus and spice character, full bodied, not very complex.

UPDATED: MAR 13, 2008 Growler: Poured a dark copper with a very thin head. Sweet alc. aroma with a buttery caramel candy smell and an over-ripe apricot fruitiness.
Bit thin on the palate I thought but general Belgian taste. Sweet malt flavour with a minor balanced bitterness and a sticky alc. finish that warms you as the beer warms.
