a very nice trip. Huge head with a very yellow color. The sweet citrus flavors hid the alchol well. Needed a lemon and we didn’t plan far enough ahead.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this brew. I’ve never heard of it before and while shopping for more brew at Trader Joe’s I ran across it unexpectedly. I was glad I did, becuase I was very impressed with the overall quality of this triple. A HUGE foamy head, explosive aroma of fruit, a nice slightly cloudy yellow hue gives way to a pleasant fruity/citrus taste with little alcohol bite. Very recommended."

I am just not a fan of this style. Creamy taste. Big floral nose. I feel like I’m drinking flowers. Finishes very flat and mild. Not much distinguisable in the taste. Props to mom though for hooking me up with this over christmas. Now if she would just start picking up the top 50 beers she has available.

An intense tasty little trippel. Big nose and aromas with a big creamy head. Fresh baked biscuits and some citrus rinds, there could be more going on with the flavor development, but it is what it is. Simple tasty and easy to drink.

Bottle poured hazy with faomy white head. Nose was yeast, citrus, and alcohol. Taste was sweeter then nose lent. Not so good. Grain after taste.

(750ml bottle) Hazy golden body topped by a big, rocky white head. Aroma is medium sweet, yeasty, herbal, some lemon, light floral, paint thinner. Taste is medium sweet, yeasty, lemon peel, some herbal, alcohol/thinner. Medium body.

Big old 750 ml bottle....poured a llight yellow with a fizzy white pillowy head. Yep, a Duvel clone all the way. Nothing spectacular. Nice Saazy nose....mouthfeel is thinner than expected. Yeasty, a bit of lemon in the flavor leading to a dry finish. An ok tripel.

Hazy golden color,medium sized white head that had a good hangtime then faded slowly to leave a decent lace behind.The aroma was Spicy and citrusy with a mild malt side and maybe a slight sweetness as well.The flavor was malty with a mild sweetness and mildly fruity side and a slight bite at the end.Nothing special as far as i’m concerned but decent enough i guess for the style.It’s worth a go around at least once.
