Bottle. Pours a clear yellow orange with thin white head. Aroma is sweet, lightly fruity, and very faintly spicy. Flavor has plenty of malty sweetness and some fresh biscuit leading to a somewhat yeasty, spicy, and dry finish. Carbonation is light and not all too active. Well hidden alcohol. Much better than expected.

Second of four "special" brews from Flying Dog four-pack...pleasant light orange brown body with white pencil-thin head...mildly effervescent... frsh malts and grapefruity citrus aromas; yeasty esthers are perfumy, with enough hops to add some spruce--complex! Light-to-medium bodied abbey ale--alcohol appears as a soft warming at last swallows... tight, taut golden pilsner taste with minimal wheat or malt...dry and a bit winey at the throat... and like a dry white wine, Kerberos retains its presence and strength start to finish... rather palatable and straightforward, yet not as full-bodied as one would expect from a tripel...

Pours dark golden/orange with a fully receding off-white head. Aroma of esters: bubble gum, pineapple, banana, tropical fruits. Good profile on the aroma, but the intensity was a bit lacking. Taste is sweet and fruity, notes of bubble gum, banana, and honeysuckle. Mouthfeel is heavy with soft carbonation and a slight alcohol burn. Not bad.

Smells flowery, lightly fruity. Pours yellow with a pinkish tint. A bit watery but overall very enjoyable, lots of fruity notes here, very refreshing summer beer.

Pour is a cloudy gold. No head. Kind of thin for a tripel. Bananas, sugar, and soap. The last of those features kind of kills the entire experience. Let down.

Bottle-Memphis. Very shallow head, which was surprising. Nose was sweet with a bit of spiciness. Flavor was good and surprisingly full bodies. Sweet finish.

Pours a cloudy gold with a small white head. No lacing. Aroma of clove, spice, citrus, fruit. Taste is of yeast, clove, spice, citrus, and sweet malt. Mouth is fairly carbonated and light. Finish is a little bitter. Overall, a fair tripel.
