Pours a lightly hazed orangy gold with a fine thin dense white head. The nose is peppery with a hint of spice and alcohol, very light sweetness. Medium body, lower carbonation without very much Peppery and spice pop out over some flowery hops and alcohol. Very light malt, without much malt. Not a ton of depth, but lots of lingering pepper, making this kind of refreshing, which is odd for a tripel.

One of the better beers I have had from Flying Dog, and that is saying something. Pretty much an average Trippel, if I remember correctly. Golden in color, light head, monk basement aroma. A good example of the style.

Hazy golden beer out of the bottle with some floaties in it. No head after the initial pour, only tiny bubbles that died weakly on the surface. Thick, sweet nose with some bitter orange rind, spice and hair spray. Noticable alcohol burn with the first sip. Flavors of yeasty bread, orange peel, apricot jam, and alcohol. Spicey finish.

12 oz bottle - fairly cloudy light orange color with tiny white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma has honey, orange peel, light herbal hops, pear. Flavor has light malts, apricot, sugar cane, heather, lipton tea. Finish is fairly balanced. A bit undercarbonated and underattenuated for the style, but not bad overall.

2008 vintage. Pours cloudy amber with barely any head. Aromas of yeast and banana esters. Light mouthfeel. Not as carbonated as some attempts at this style. Has a slight spiciness that lingers on the tongue. Slight note of alcohol in the aftertaste.

Cloudy, deep bronze body with a very thin white head. The aroma is sweet earthy pears with some light notes of cinnamon. There is also a little bit of sweat and leather. The taste has some light pear core and cinnamon spice. There is some decent woody dryness in the finish. Rough to drink.
