Jul 20, 2009 Pours a very deep golden color with no head and it has almost no carbonation. Aroma is a heavy grainy pilsner malt, lots of candy sweetness, lots of alcohol and a light spicy, floral hop note. Flavor is strong of alcohol first and moves into a sweet almost apple flavor, light hops spiciness and light yeasty notes towards the end. Feel of the beer is okay but miss the high carbonation generally found in the style. Overall the brew fit the style in an alright manner but the lack of carbonation really makes this a low end triple in my opinion. Flavors and aromas are there but just don’t seem as rich and may be a bit young thus requiring some aging to get the full flavors the brewer is looking for.

Jul 19, 2009 cloudy yellow pour. quickly dissipating white head. First tripel i have had so this may be adjusted later. Right now this is a very decent beer with fruit flavors, little bit of bread, and a sweet finish and aftertaste. decent mouth feel.

Jul 16, 2009 12oz bonus from a ways back drinking it after a cellar cleaning. Pours orange with a tan ring. Nose is sweet. Taste is decent, but all in all not a great tripel.

Jul 15, 2009 Pours a one finger white head that fades quickly leaving no lace. Cloudy amber color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Fruity nose. Flavor is lightly fruity and caramel. Higher ABV is totally hidden. $2.90 for a 12oz bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, MA.

Jul 14, 2009 Pair of 7oz bottles from a sampler pack. A pale apple-juice color, very minimal head and not much retention. Apple-like sweetness in the aroma, along with a little bit of banana ester and yeast. Flavor is overly sweet, with notes of spice and fruit - apple again. This seems to be a theme, for whatever reason. Too sweet to be anything like a tripel, really. It’s not awful, but not worth buying or trying a second time.

Jul 11, 2009 12 ounce bottle -pours a cloudy apple juice colour with nominal head and faint lacing. Nose- sugar- powdered sugar and candi sugar, really can’t pick up anything else. Taste- spice, pepper with little flavour brought forward from the malts. The finish is oddly bitter- leaves a chalky aspirin taste/mouthfeel. Carbonation is medium. Bland offering.
Cavie (1317), Fort Worth, Texas, USA
Jul 1, 2009 Clear yellow. Fruit and bananas. Way smooth taste. No irritation at all. A bit bitter on the end but fair by all means.
