This was not a good example of what a tripel should be. It was not balanced, with yeast dominating the palate. Eh, I like Flying Dog, but this is one I don’t have an interest in trying again. LC

Bottle. Amber beer with a whitish head. Malt and yeast aroma with light spice and light summer fruit. Malt and yeasty flavor with spice. Medium-plus bodied. Spice lingers with malt and yeast. Fairly spicy and yeasty. Finished dry.

Bottle, 12oz. It pours a next to clear, golden body under a small, white head. Some banana and a little hops and spices on the nose. Some alcohol evident too. Banana, citrus, some spicey notes and pale malts in the mouth. Quite warm, full-bodied and dry, yet with a sweet impression. Bitter finish. A bit on the sweet side, but I liked it quite a lot. Nice bitterness. (090430)

7oz bottle at home on May 9, 2009. Has a nice golden orange color, very clear. Lighgt citrus aroma with a grainy citrus flavor. Maybe a little spice. Very clean beer.

Orange gold pour with a small white head. Sweet aroma but I couldn’t pick out anything specific. The flavor was much lighter than I expected but it did have a somewhat unique flavor but I’m not sure if that’s the yeast or thinking about it too much.

Bottle. Dumpy looking gold body with a thin film of a head. Aromas aren’t very good... some apricot, apples and honey is about it. Flavor is about the same with a couple of new additions: alcohol and dusty grains. Mouthfeel is pretty sticky and finish is sweet fruitiness and alcoholic warmth.

12-ounce bottle. Pale orange ale has a small, fleeting head and no lace. Yeasty/spicy aromas… banana, cantaloupe, coriander and hot cinnamon spiciness, caramel… against a backdrop of earthy funk. The flavor however, while appropriate, is disappointingly bland and evenly split between mild malt, fruit, and spice. Yeasty and caramelly. The palate is light and buttery despite scant carbonation. Smooth but seriously wimpy and uncomplex.
