COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Know your brewer: I get inspired. A lot of time it’s by friends and a lot of other times it’s by beer. Some conversations, some hops, and a gratitude for what some righteous monks across the mighty Atlantic have been up to for decades. Through that comes this: a classic Trappist yeast playing ball with an aromatic Double IPA. "Tripel-Double." No easy buckets!

This was good but that’s all. The flavor had the Belgian spiciness to it, but the hops weren’t really there or meshing well. A bit disappointing.

Light beautiful color from a bottle. Thin head, hoppy double Belgian yeasty beer. Flavorful, hoppy and very drinkable.

BMMillsy (685) - Florida, USA - FEB 3, 2013
Pours a pretty clear orange with small fluffy head. Smell has some belgian yeast funk, a bit of orange zest. Crisp aroma. Flavor a bit muddled. Heavy lemon zest and serious yeast funk. Solid bitter bite with a sweet finish. Fruit is very present and this went very well with some guacamole believe it or not. Medium light mouthfeel and low to medium carbonation.

Bottle shared somewhere in the middle of Florida... Slight "Belgian" taste in the initial sip, but unbalanced endgame...

unclemattie (3709) - Georgia, USA - SEP 22, 2012
22oz bottle. Orange amber color, white head with very large bubbles. Aroma of Belgian yeast & attic. Some straw, some fruit. Soft, smooth texture. Flavor of apricots, straw, some spicy esters, bitter hops. Very dry. Overall, it has a honey flavor finish with an earthy character. (3467)

maxwelldeux (2223) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - SEP 6, 2012
Bottle. Pours a light amber color with a slight head. Interesting hoppiness to it that i didn’t expect. Slight sweetness to it to cut the bitterness of the hops. Interesting beer.

BeerandBlues2 (7418) - Hanover, Maryland, USA - AUG 10, 2012
Bottle. Pours lightly hazy dark gold to orange with a medium, fizzy white head, medium to short retention with good lacing. Aroma is tropical fruity esters, biscuit and straw malt, citrus and earthy-spicy hops with Belgian yeast spices. Flavor is moderate hops and bitterness with a supporting malt backbone, fruity esters and spices and a dry finish. Medium body and carbonation.

nick76 (4077) - Tampa, Florida, USA - AUG 8, 2012
The aroma is slightly funky yeast, with hops and malt. The appearance is golden with a small head. The taste is like the aroma. The palate is average. Overall a decent beer but not great.
