Bitter and slightly sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a well-carbonated mouthfeel. Soft pale malt character, slightly yeasty and moderately spicy with citrus-fruity hops; quite dry fruity and hop bitter finish. Well-rounded hoppy Tripel.

UPDATED: DEC 18, 2010 Bottle.
A - Crisp honey color with a average sized, tight, creamy very white head. Really nice retention with a thick, creamy lace.
S - Very tripel smelling. Belgian malt, yeast and candi sugar. Golden fruit with pear, apple, touches of mango, apricot and pineapple. Quite spicy with clove being strongest. More fruity esters the more I smell it.
T - Quite a spicy and hoppy tripel. Belgian malt, yeast, and candi sugar all present. Clove and other spices along with alcohol give it a bit of a kick. A good amount of fruit that is similar to the nose. Golden fruit and some tropical fruit.
M - Lighter side of medium body with a good level of carbonation. Fairly drying and a little thin.
D - Alcohol and spice a little strong to be overly drinkable, but I really enjoyed drinking this. Goes down easy.
Notes: A pretty good tripel. Pretty spicy with some tropical fruit as well. I got this out of the bargain bin and was very happy about it because it is a nice tripel. A go-to beer or prime example of the style, no, but a nice beer.
