halfonit (423), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA Jul 11, 2009 Good stuff. Had this on tap at Rose Alley Pub in New Bedford, MA. Has a thick and hazy golden color. Smells of hops with a little bit of citrus undertones. Tastes pretty much the same. Has a bite in the end that is very enjoyable. An excellent brew. pintbypint (1002), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Jul 9, 2009 750ml green bottle. Capped. Lemony yellow colour, massive sized, super frothy white head, probably the most intense, most dense head I’ve encountered, certainly ranks up there with the marvelous foam that Orval has to offer. Needless to say this beer has great lacing, sticky foam. Mild haze. Aroma is fruity, lemony. Fairly hoppy, though some sweet malt/fruitiness shows below the lemon and grapefruit hops. Medium bitterness, citrus/grassy aftertaste. Crisp and tight carbonation, medium body. Does not drink it’s strength. Hard to think of this as solely a tripel, but an awesome hybrid. I pretty much liked everything about this beer, it’s only "weakness" was in its aroma, which was still great to style, will be revisiting this often as long as it’s stocked in this province. goozen (1061), Leiden, Netherlands Jul 8, 2009 Bottle 0,75ltr: Hazy gold with a big foamy head, and taste great with the American hops thats give its great bitternesh. Nightfall (645), Athens, Greece Jul 2, 2009 750ml Bottle (almost empty now), thanks to Edo (Bierkoning). What a unique and fantastic brew. A perfect miz of TRiple and IPA. Easily the most bitter belgian I ever tried. Golden beer with a huge foamy head.Malty and spicy aroma with a nice grassy tone. Sweet malty taste with lots of hops. I loved it. OliverG (83), montreal, Quebec, Canada Jul 2, 2009 Updated: Oct 4, 2009Bouteille de 750ml nouvellement arrivée à la SAQ. Blonde dorée, asser pétillante et très mousseuse. La mousse, abondante, colle bien au verre et offre des saveurs agréable d’houblon frais. En bouche, on dirait une bonne tripel fraiche et forte en alcool. En finale, le houblon se fait de plus en plus présent et la IPA fait surface. Très bon mélange entre une tripel et une IPA. MaltOMeal (642), Land of Sugar, Texas, USA Jun 30, 2009 bottle. Pours a clear, pale yellow with a great white head. Nose is of lemon, yeast and some spice. taste is very lemon with some spices. Mouthfeel is resinous and bitter with lots of carbonation. Strange combination of a Belgian and an IPA. Decent though. jredmond (1015), New Jersey, USA Jun 30, 2009 Sampled out of the bottle with Dallas and Andrew. Pours a light body with nice white head. The aroma is light, some sharp malt. The taste is pine hops, spice, and malt. Solid Trip. syton98 (40), USA Jun 28, 2009 Pours golden with a big white head. The amora is not over powering and you can smell the grains and hops along with a fruity note. Taste is good with a nice after taste. A solid triple but not the best.
