Nov 5, 2009 11.2 ounce bottle from Whole Foods in Hillcrest ($4.99). What the...?!?! Absolutely came gushing out of the little bottle and I lost about a third of it. Anyway, pours a murky apricot color with (of course) big white head. Aroma is bready malts, yeast, spice, some fruit (banana, citrus). Flavor has a noticeable hop "bite" (lemon, other citrus) but with very balanced rich malt flavors. Also some spice and yeast. Finish is dry with a nice mixture of sweetness and bitterness. The aroma is more consistent with the tripel while the flavor is a nice combination of the two. Probably the best marriage of the two styles that I’ve had. Very good.

Nov 3, 2009 Golden in color, big foamy white head. The smell is spices, hops, fruits, caramel, and sweet. The taste is hops, some bitterness, fruits, nice feel, yeast, and caramel. Nice balance.

Oct 30, 2009 Pours a deep cloudy yellow with a fizzy body and foamy/thick white head. Aroma of spices, orange, slight citrus hops, little skunk(should switch to dark brown bottles), banana, and a tad bit of caramel. Flavor is rich in estery fruit, some caramel, little toffee, and has a hop backbone of citrus. Rich, little dry, sweet, and bitter. A nice combination and a very tasty desert beer. A pricey choice but just about worth it. I was a tad disappointed with the slight skunk aroma. Wouldn’t happen in a dark brown bottle.

Oct 29, 2009 Doesn’t look like much in the glass, but had a nice aroma. It is trying for an IPA triple and it kinda succeeds but fails at both. Taste is if buttered grains with a bit of metal. The palate was perfect, but overall it came up short. The hops were there but no way close to an IPA (59 ibus? well hidden).

Oct 18, 2009 Pours a huge fluffy head. The color is pale yellow and great color. Bubbly like champagne with bubbles all through the glass. An incredible taste and feel.

Oct 14, 2009 Pours wonderfully with a big fluffy head. Nose is fairly harsh alcohol and just a hint of yeast. Taste is strange and very one-dimensional. Light yeast, followed by boozy heat, then a stark bitterness that doesn’t really present any flavor, just pure bitter. The carbonation is so high that the bitterness induces burps with every sip. I like the concept of this one, but the result isn’t very good.
