Pours a hazy orange with a dense, one finger head that lingered until the beer was gone. The nose was a heavy funky yeast, almost like what the vitamins my grandmother made me take when I was a kid mixed with dirt. The flavor is sweet and yeasty, a lot like the nose. The finish isn’t too bad and lingers for a while, the yeast fades leaving the sweet spice that the yeast covered. This is a well made beer from a brewery I seem to like but it doesn’t seem to do it for me, it may have been because I ate shellfish earlier.

Jul 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours deep hazy gold with some lovely stray bits floating around and sending bubbles up to the foamy white head that sits atop. Nose offers candied apricots, perhaps a bit of banana, some malt and burnt sugar and a fruity bread wallop (think banana bread or fruitcake, but yeastier. Bit of a hoppy nose for a tripel, too. Similar palate, with added distinction of an orange peel oil flavor from the hops added to the mix and a pretty big alcohol punch. This is an excellent beer; I’d say the alcohol burn is my only real critique. Other than that, it’s not too far from perfect.

Jul 1, 2008 Pours a visibly effervescent hazy golden colour with a dense, frothy white head, leaving good lacing. The nose is full of candi sugar, bubblegum yeast, orange cream, clove, apple, and noble hops. The flavour has fruity impressions of apples, peach and passion fruit. The banana/clove complex is also present, with a spicy, dry yeast and some peppery spice in the finish. The palate is a perfect representation of how a tripple should feel, creamy, effervescent and dry. Exellent.

Jun 25, 2008 2008 Bottle...upon opening, the foam shoved its way out, head takes forever to shrink...cloudy body golden in color....head is beige with brown sediment flaking the top (looks like a chocolate martini)....sediment galore in this beer, chunks I say, chunks(but they are small enough to drink)....a delicate lacing forming--clove a plentyin the aroma, also sweet candied sugar aromas...I get some sweet orange also, reminds me of the childhood jelly orange candy coated with sugar....its quite sweet on the first sip...alcohol apparent....its a little salty.....good though....making me want more sips...it has a very interesting appeal to it...orange peel finish with a bit of clove....body is medium with very low carbonation....just a bit of bubbles in the back of the throat...would like to re taste it with some age

Jun 24, 2008 33cl bottle courtesy of Markwise. Pours a golden caramel with a one finger white head that recedes slowly. Aroma is intoxicating and almost overpowering. Smells of candy sugar, ripe dark fruit, caramel, malt and yeast. Medium bodied with a somewhat creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is much like the aroma: intoxicatingly sweet with strong notes of caramel, toffee, apple, pear, fresh fragrant flowers and honey. Alcohol tends to come through a little especially on finish but is still not overpowering. Lingering, sweet-phenol finish. One of the best tripels we have sampled.
