Tap at Cooperstown. Yellow clear with a white head. Spicy aroma. Malty spicy flavor. Rather nice.

On tap at the pump house on a very busy Saturday night. Pours a cloudy gold. tastes slighty spicy and of cloves, floral, and candy sugar. kinda yeasty and an all right brew

Very pale straw colour. The nose is chock-full of dirty phenolics. There’s a bit of clove, but mostly, there is a sort of cooked vegetable DMS flavour. White sugar sweetness before finishing with a lingering honeyish character. Fruity and rancid. Ack. These guys need to sort out their yeast issues.

Draft at the brewpub. Marketed as a triple, its like the pale only more yeasty. Some brown sugar. Above average mouthfeel. Yellow with lace. Boozy, pepper,c orriander, ginger.

Clear gold coloured body with a light head that tops the beer nicely. Aroma of malt, lemons and alcohol. Full-bodied; Strong sweetness, the honey and sugars dominate this one completely. Aftertaste is very strong and alcoholic, but shows quality throughout. I sampled this on draught at the Albany Pump Station in Albany, New York on 25 June 2006.

Pours copper with a white head. Smells spicy and sweet with lots of dark fruiity hints. Tastes sweet and spicy with a peppery finish.

On tap at the Pump Station, 13 July 07. Definitely a Tripel-style, served in proper glassware. Not bad, you don’t often see Tripels on tap in this area, brewed locally or not. Would drink it again.

On tap at the Pump Station in July. I decided to try this after one of their Kick-Ass brown ales and boy, am I glad. This beer changed my whole outlook on beer. This was much smoother and flavorful to my palate than many of the craft brews I’ve had. More like sweet champagne than beer. It’s not really Belgian in style when compared to a Fin du Monde or Victory Golden Monkey, which are spicier. I wish I could get it locally.

on tap-pours a creamy white head that laces with yellow color. Aroma is sweet fruity-(apple?), malt. Taste is sweet malt, secondary hops. OK carbonation.

Blonde body. A bit fruity and citrusy. Watery body. Thin body does not support the strong alcohol presence. Strong Ale yes but leave the Belgian out of it.

Tap @ brewpub: cloudy golden body. Aroma is spicy with some candy sugar but also like a hefe - citrusy! Flavor was the same but the alcohol was not masked well. Their best offering easily.
