Bottle had a hint of skunk that blew off. Tripel spiciness merges into IPA herbal hops, resulting in a very interesting melding of styles.

Jul 23, 2008 Very good, slightly different than anything I have had before. Has a fruity and yeasty flavor of an excellent tripel, but with some IPA flavor as well. Lightly dry finish. Perfectly balanced. Highly carbonated, the bottle foamed all over the place and took a while to settle. Very drinkable for the strength.

Jul 22, 2008 Pop the top and we have a foamer, lost most of the neck. Good thing the beer was ice cold and I had just pulled it from the fridge. If it was warmer I probably would have lost half the bottle. A bit disappointing, that’s something I would expect from a homebrew but not a commercial beer. Pours hazy golden with a huge white lasting head. The most notable part of the aroma is the yeasty esters. Underlying these are hops and some malt. Flavor is interesting. Starts off sweet but then turns dry due to the high level of carbonation. Very noticeable bitterness. Very high carbonation levels, It is ridiculous how much carbonation there is after it warms up. Unique and interesting but loses points due to the absurd level of carbonation.

Jul 22, 2008 I wasn’t really sure what to expect with the IPA/Tripel thing but this beer was not only interesting to try but also quite good. Pours a golden, perhaps light orange color with a huge fluffy head. Tons of lacing. Aroma is heavy malty with perfume and some light floral hopping. The flavor is fruity, a bit tangy, with yeast and hop bitterness hitting following the fruity esters. Light numbing and a bit dry in the finish. Definitely seems more Tripel than IPA to me but an interesting blend of flavors that really does work.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle at Kulminator, Antwerp.
Pours hazy yellow with abig white head.
Very hoppy aroma for a belgian beer. Grass, fresh fruit and spices in nose as well.
Flavour is the same with a good alcoholic bite to finish of a great beer.

Jul 21, 2008 Fantastic lasting creamy white head over a little hazy yellow beer. Strong and inviting aroma of cookies, pine resins, citric hops, honey, spices, peculiar belgian yeast. Quite a full bodied beer, flavourful, dry bitter lingering end.
