Jul 2, 2008 Updated: Jul 30, 2008750 Bottle...Off-white head that shrinks to a cm...cloudy golden body--close to copper...clove in the nostrils and whiffs of orange tucked into a fresh yeast bed....as it sits those scents mingle and become intensified...Wow holy carbonation...after I get over it, the same aromas come through to the tongue, with a slight addition of malt...a combined sour + citrus finish with a yeasty bite, its good...pretty typical for this style...extreme carbonation is a bit of a turn off though....as it sits, way more yeast protrudes into the aroma and flavor...also the massive carbonation subsides as it sits...props to the disguised alcohol...lacing is also weak...very similar on draft

Jun 30, 2008 A very forgettable beer. Pretty typical for a tripel, even its smoothness.

Jun 22, 2008 75cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Rated on 3/14/08. Pours a cloudy dark golden with a thin white head. Minimal head retention. Aroma is sweet, caramel, lemon. Flavor is malt, sweet caramel and honey, hops. Slightly bitter throughout with a bitter, quick finish. Generally a medium-bodied ale with somewhat creamy mouthfeel. Would have enjoyed more with less hoppiness.

Jun 11, 2008 Bottle. Small rocky, white diminishing head with fair lacing. Hazy, lightly cloudy golden orange body. Average aroma of bread, caramel and grain. Sharp average/heavy hop aroma, spiced with coriander. Medium body, oily texture, lively carbonation and a metallic bitter finish. The flavor is moderate sweet and moderate/heavy bitter.

May 30, 2008 Hazy dark gold orange color with a big, fluffy off-white head. Aroma is lightly peppery with fruit and flowers. All in a light blond way. Nice fruit start; just a touch of pepper or spice; some heat. Pale malt or biscuit behind all that. It’s pretty tasty. Finishes more dry than not. A little sugar is in the wings. Good drink.

Poured a nice murky darker orange body with a big bubbly head that went away slower than I expected at first. The noise was spicy, malty, some alcohol... bit sweet. The taste was somewhat simple but quite nice. Violets, candy, caramel... smooth mouthfeel, flowery maltiness. some chewy hop in the aftertaste. Nicely delicate but not a world beater.

May 27, 2008 26/05 0.33 l bottle from belgianshop.com. Poured murky copper orange body with bigger fluffy head, but it didn’t lived for long though. Aroma is OK, but not so nice as it is often in tripels, some fruits from old yeast. I appreciate sugar wasn’t added to have its distinct flavor, and although it’s pretty bitter it have subtle sweetness which specially emerge in aftertaste, which is very long and pleasant. Back to flavor, it’s dominated by orange, citrus and that yeast which made its job. Not so usual but I must confess interesting and I’m not complaining, although there are much better tripels.
