Kerberos is the Greek name for the three-headed hellhound that guarded the gates of the underworld, making it more than worthy of protecting the contents of this bottle.
We used the finest imported Pilsner malt and Belgian candi sugar to give this beer its’ light malt flavor and color, accented by the complex flavors and aromas imparted by our unique yeast strain.

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.

Bottled. Blonde. Grassy aroma with a hint of orange. Sweetish, alcoholic, grassy flavor with malt and orange. Middle of the road triple.

Bottle. Pours an average light cheddar orange with a strange aroma of grassy popcorn, malt liquor corn syrup, and retarded lemon. Flavor is top-shelf malt liquor, with hints of (actually a barrage of) corn syrup, hay, and dried dirty grass. Average mouthfeel. Put this dog down, fellas; it’s in pain.

Sampled on 4/26/2009. This tripel pours a medium orange gold color from a 12oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and sweet, touch of yeast. A medium to light bodied tripel. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are floral. There is a touch of yeast, but mostly sweet fruity malts characterize this beer. Not a lot else going on. A little more carbonation might help. Kind of bland, boring and not very interesting. Touch of pilsner malts and hops in the background. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet and a touch yeasty.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. The smell is malts, caramel, sweet, and spices. The look is clear and not too much head. The taste is slightly sweet, malts, spices, and some yeast.

Reviewed 4/20/2009 (bottle vintage08FF): Pours a golden light yellow colored body, pretty clear, somewhat cloudy, with a small white head, very quickly diminishing. Belgiany sweet aroma, some nuttiness. Some pilsner skunk too. Effervescent. Something is off in the aroma. Not as enticing as a typical Belgian Trippel. Light sweet taste, some funkiness there too. A little watery palate. Some nuttiness. Light taste, weakish. Not very good.
