Draft at blue monk, cloudy yellow pour, fluffy white head. Aromas of coriander, light perfume, clove. Sweet lemon flavor, pot pourri, lavender, sweet candi sugar. Nice mouthfeel. Nice beer

From a bottle poured a brown color with a fair amount of head. Light spicy malty flavor with a quick finish.

12 oz bottled 5 weeks ago. Pours golden-orange and hazy with a white fluffy head that sticks on the glass. The aroma is yeasty, oranges, spices, herbs, fruit. Light to medium body with a grainy texture and soft carbonation. Zesty fruit flavor balanced well by the two yeast strains and wheat. Very smooth and drinkable with dry finish. A fruity tripel with great balance and flavor.

12 oz bottle shared by csbosox. Bottled Jan 16 printed on label. The pour is hazy a yellow, with a small white head. The aroma is straw, along with sweet maltiness and a clove yeastiness. The taste is the traditional Tripel flavors, natural malt sweetness, hay straw, and a strong clove yeast presence. I noticed a hint of fruit stripe gum as it warmed. Nicely made beer, thanks for sharing Chris.

Hazy yellow. White head last the whole drink. Spotty lace. Light yeasty sweet aroma. Prefect medium thin body with a little bite. Yum.

Tap. Cloudy orange pour with medium head. Nose is citrus, wheat, clove, grain. Flavor is wheat, fruit, orange, clove and strong esters. Medium mouthfeel.

12 oz bottle pours a pale golden/straw color with fair white head but not much lacing. Aroma is everything I expected from a classic Belgian White: Orange peel, coriander, wheat, earthy yeast. (nevermind that RB calls it a Tripel). Taste is slightly bitter. Body is medium. Alcohol is very well hidden - I thought it was more like 5.5%. This one is very drinkable and refreshing and one I will definitely try again.

Bottle served in a tulip. Pours hazy light orange with a short white head. Minimal retention and spotty lacing. Bright orange peel, light yeast spiciness and a clean yet complex grainy malt aroma. Really nice. Medium sweet attack then the yeast and orange zest. Medium body, creamy-oily textutre, average carbonation, and a sticky wheat, light oily finish.

Bottle. Belgian yeast, fruity banana, coriander, and white grape aroma. Slightly hazy straw gold with a moderate white head. Creamy sweet honey malt, Belgian yeast, banana, and clove flavor. Medium creamy body, soft carbonation. Very nice.

Poured from a bottle into a won’t glass. Pours a translucent gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is esters, fruit, some light grain. Taste has a velvety sweetness and smooth fruity finish. Pretty good tripel overall.
