75cl bottle from World of Beer (Largo, FL). Rated on 6/3/08. Pours a cloudy, golden yellow with thick frothy white head. Good head retention. Smells of juniper, spice, flowers, grapefruit, hops, musty apple. Taste if decidedly citrus with notes of grapefruit, sweet malt and many hints of honey. Very complex character to this beer. We noted a slight spicy-tart-sourness in the middle as the beer moves to the back of the mouth. Medium-bodied with a slightly bitter, hoppy finish. Interesting and complex tripel.

Dec 4, 2008 On tap at Monks cafe, Philadephia in the company of Loz, Casey and Traci 15-11-08 Pours hazy golden in colour with a thin white head. Really flowery, hoppy, clean and with lavender showing? Good sweetness to this its rich, malty but the nice perfumeyness returns again, with bitterness catching up at the end, very nice beer.

Nov 30, 2008 750ml. bright golden haystack color. pours thick dense and opaque. massive puffy white head is crazy thick, totally huge and very persistent. just have to sit and watch it shrink in order to get a whiff. yeasty belgian aroma is backed by sweet butterscotch notes, and fresh grain. a delicious balance of sweet golden ale and bitter piney finish. oily rich mouthfeel. leaves lace as thick as cake frosting in its wake.

Nov 29, 2008 (10/20/08) Draught at Monk’s Cafe in Philadelphia. Cloudy orange-golden with a medium white head. Aroma of citrus hops, some spice, yeast and some fruits (peach, a bit of apricot and a bit of apples). Sweetish flavor, a bit spicy, with some caramel, fruits, and a bitter finish with hops, notes of citrus and spices, a bit of earth and subdued alcohol hints. Nice mouthfeel. Good.
