I didn’t really expect much from this beer as a brief review of its packaging led me to believe that it was somehow a collection of spare bits from around the brewery, but I picked it up because I’d enjoyed other Furthermore beers. And I was glad I did, as I enjoyed this beer, but also found it quite interesting because it was unique and hard to classify or compare to other beers I’ve had. This beer is beautiful. It is a deep red color with brilliant clarity and a thick creamy head of tightly packed tiny bubbles that didn’t overflow the rim of the glass but was durable enough to leave great lacing on the glass and insulate the underlying liquid from first sip to the last. Aroma and flavor were pleasant and not overpowering, but kind of puzzling. It is kind of as described. I didn’t detect the English influence as it was the mildest of the three included recipes, but I definitely got an APA type hoppiness in both the flavor and aroma and a Belgian spiciness. There was something else going on here that I couldn’t quite put my finger on; a maltiness that was a bit cerealy but not unpleasant. I wish I’d purchased two bottles of this stuff so I could’ve continued my investigation into some of the flavors therein. This is a good (not great beer), but an extremely interesting one. There’s a lot of flavors in that bottle. I would recommend this beer. I bought a 12oz single at 3 Cellars in Franklin, WI.

12 oz. bottle from a trade. Used my Duvel Tulip. Hazy amber gold. Great retention and lace. Lots going in the taste. Little in the nose. Interesting flavor palate. Belgian yeast is the main player. I get spiciness’ from undefined spice. Grassy hops providing a mild, lingering bitterness. Candi sugar, hops and yeast kind of fight each other in this brew. The flavors are all over the place. I also notice the ABV. This could be a brew that would improve with a bit of age on it. The 8.5 is distracting me from the flavors that ARE mashed up here.

Very good and drinkable, especially given the high alcohol content. Definitely Will have again

Man the description of this makes the beer sound like a mess, I suppose if anyone can pull it off then these folks can.

Pours a hazy orange color with a thick medium sized head and good lace.

The aroma is malty & spicy with some clove, some toffee, and some floral notes. Some very clean malt aromas dominate as this sits for a minute.

Certainly malt forward in the flavor, some floral bitterness is present along with a good deal of fruitiness. A nice dosing of alcohol is rounded by a touch of toffee and a bit more caramel, but the bitterness really rounds everything out and brings it all together. As it warms some of the phenolics of the yeast come out in a nice way with some banana and mild smoke.

For all the effort that seems to have been put into making some sort of multi-cultural tripel, this comes out tasting quite a lot like the upper crust homebrewed Scotch Ales I’ve tried, which is of course awesome.

Bottle from madvike ... thanks, Matt! Deep bronze-amber pour with a thin cream-colored head. Nose is bursting with yeast, sweet apple blossoms, dried fruit, and notes of burdock root. Flavor is medium sweet, reveals nice toasty malt, and is a bit musty. Moderately thin mouthfeel, slightly oily, soft carb, with bitter grassy hops and booze in the finish. The aroma is very pleasant for me, but I think less Belgian candy sugar and therefore lower abv would have made it much more enjoyable/drinkable. Unique beer. Furthermore always seems to be quite fun.

Pours a bright amber gold with a half finger of slightly off white head. Lacing is a bit lacking. One of the most complex smelling pales I’ve experienced. Sweet cereal, hay, nice yeast presence. The belgian really goes a long way in this beer. Nice, soft bitterness and that same yeast carries through in the taste. Feel is spot on for the style, nothing too exciting.

Bottle pours amber with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet with notes of caramel, apple, pear, orange, and musty yeast. Flavor shows the same with additional notes of bready malt and dried fruit. Overall body is moderate with a lightly bitter finish as well as some apparent alc.

Pours golden amber, more gold with a small creamy white head. Aroma is spice, citrus, pear and bread. Taste is spicy sweet with some subtle tartness. Medium mouth feel.

Big big initial aroma of belgian candi sugar and dark fruits, very malty aroma, mostly clear amber with a big tan retentive head that leaves nice lacing... not sure what to make of this beer whether this is a belgian triple or a giant american pale... belgian yeast dominate the flavor with notes of dark fruits and a mild not of american hops that gets cut immediately by the sweetness... interesting concept though more of a belgian that anything else... decent full bodied im gonna call it belgian strong ale...

Poured a amber brownish color. Full frothy head. Aroma of belgium yeast and candy, with oranges, and some light citrus hops, and maybe some apple. Medium sweetness (at least). Medium body, more creamy texture, ave carbonation. Alcohol comes through. Not a bad trippel. But not a great one. Kind of tastes like my trippel homebrew.

Belgian IPA - I do not know, howoever the facts I do have: I bought this at Riley’s in Madison based on recommendations by staff. I had no idea what I was drinking when I opened it, it smelled like a yeasty Belgian, and tasting akin to an old ale/American strong. Dark brown body with tremendous spider lacing. Very smooth, understated hops and great malting. I should have bought more bottles!
