Draught. Low and quickly disappearing white head. Hazy yellow body. Spicy aroma and flavor with banana lemon and piney notes as well as some hoppyness as well. High carbonation. Long aftertaste. A bit strange but OK.

Poured a gldeon yellow/orange color with an off white head. Aroma was very strange, some sort of spice and garbage flavor? Flavor was much the same, maybe we got an infected btach but this stuff was bad.

Draught at City Beer, in Soma district of San Francisco, July 2008. What a fantastic, complex beer. Bartender called it a tripel. Internet calls it a hyrbid IPA/tripel. Poured golden orange in a small taster glass. Tasted citrus and banana in the hops.

22 oz bottle poured into a tulip has a copper yellow color and a thin white head that diminished quickly. aroma has spices, light citrus hops, nice floral yeast, candy sugar, over ripe dark fruit, flowery pollens, and dough. mouth feel is light with hefty biting carbonation. flavor is really unique and interesting. there is some upfront bitterness, spices, hefty yeast, and underlying hops that get drowned out a bit. sweetness is just enough to keep the bitters in check, dough, and alcohol. certainly an interesting marriage of styles and flavors

Bottle shared at Trapppeze. Pours hazy gold with a big white head. Aroma of citrus, yeast, hops, spice. Pretty interesting. Taste is a liitte sour, with more hop bitterness, and yeast. Overall, this hoppy trippel is a nice smooth drinker. Body is light and carbonated.
