Sampled at EBF2008. Pours a clear golden yellow beer with an offwhite head. Has the typical aroma of Orval/Brett, some bubblegum. The flavor is sweet and malty. Bold mouthfeel and an average/good beer.

Aroma is malty, spicy, notes of orange peel. Yellow/amber color, decent amount of carbonation. Flavor is fruity, peppery, spicy. The finish was malty, and strong on the alcohol, providing a slight warming. Good beer overall, on the low end for a tripel. Special note: This was part of a cool 4 pack of Flying Dog which had the Imperial Porter, the Barley Wine, the Double Dog and this beer.

(Bottled) Slightly hazy golden with a very small head. Very grainy, pale-honey-malty, sweetish aroma with pear and diacetyl hints. Grainy maltiness with pear fruitiness, moderate acidity, and quite evident alcohol. Medium body, medium carbonation. Not a very good try for a tripel.

Slightly cloudy orange amber. Fizzy with a thin head. Fruity aroma - apples, citrus, banana, and spice over malty base. Flavor is fruit and spice, followed by a strong malty presence. Ends dry and bitter, with a notable hoppiness. Fizzy, sticky (but somewhat thin) mouthfeel. Not bad, but a little out of balance.
