corby112 (671), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 3, 2008 Pours a slight hazy golden-orange color with a very thin, fizzy head that dissapears immediately. Aroma of caramel, nut, dark fruit and alcohol. Very bland tasting, wit strong alcohol presence along with some spiciness, apricot, pepper and citrus peel. NomDeBeer (398), Maryland, USA Nov 30, 2008 Pours clear gold with no head. Mild carbonation, pilsner-like bitterness plus subtle flavors of banana, bread, and cloves. Pretty sweet as others have noted. Not a bad beer, drinkable if forgetable. Alcohol is well-hidden in the flavor and aroma. jzzbassman (838), New Albany, Mississippi, USA Nov 30, 2008 Another way too sweet American Tripel. Not horrible with the scallops, but just unbalanced. milljam (562), Norman, Oklahoma, USA Nov 28, 2008 Belgian Tripel Americanized. Carbonation was low. Too smooth and sugary. Body was heavy. Nothing very memorable. Sweet, low hop character. kpresley77 (133), Jackson, Georgia, USA Nov 27, 2008 Bottle pours clear golden/orange with very little white head. Aroma is sweet malt with little citrus notes. First taste sweet malt, but very light and well balanced. Finish is little yeast and sweet malt. Alcohol is hidden very well. Probally my favorite FD product. Cletus (5002), Connecticut, USA Nov 18, 2008 Pours gold with a white head. Smells of sweet malt, sugar, floral. Tastes overly sweet with some heavy spiciness. blklab2007 (938), Connecticut, USA Nov 15, 2008 bottle poured a lightly clouded golden color with a thin white head that quickly became a ring in the glass. aroma has sweet malt, acidic grape skin, funky yeast, and caramel. mouth feel is light with average carbonation. flavor is sweetly malted, yeast adding both funk and spice, and a bit of bitter hops. not really as full as i had hoped and on the sweet side.
SpudClampDawg (1027), Jasper, Indiana, USA Nov 2, 2008 12oz bottle: Muted gold pour with no head, even when poured vigorously. The nose is mild, with a slight lean on yeast with some peppery alcohol. Soft carbonation. Lots of grainy malt and candi sugar sweetness in the body. Thick and chewy. Finishes with a healthy dose of esthers - pear, apple, cinnamon - as well as some alcohol burn. Just ok.
