Poured clear and amber with an almost two-finger white head and lots of lacing. The aroma was floral, herbal and pine hops with plenty of sweet malts and a bit of spicy yeast. The flavor was fresh floral hops with some herbal and pine to it. Lots of sugary malts and yeast that you’d identify in a tripel. Medium bodied with a very dry mouthfeel. A really nice mash-up.

A 0.5L bottle at Pikkulintu. Soft mild hoppy nose. Pale head. Slightly hazy golden yellow/orange colour. More than average hoppiness. More IPA than a abbey tripel. At the end hops bite.

650 ml bottle from Bev4less. pours a slightly hazy copper color with a big sudsy/clumpy off-white head that had good retention and plenty of lacing. The aroma is medium in strength with Belgian yeasts, light esters, spices, and grassy hops. The taste is hops forward, with biter hops at the forefront, followed by a brown sugar/rock candy middle and a bitter-sweet hoppy conclusion. The mouthfeel is full, and satisfying. The finish is long and piney-biter. Overall: Very tasty stuff, and it begs a comparison to Stone’s Cali-Belgie and Coronado’s Hoppy Daze. They are all winners, but I prefer the fresh hoppy daze.

Beer 700. This was a pretty good and delicious beer, cowboys light your fires. And, LET’S GET IT ON, COME ON. Thanks to everyone who helped me get here. And thanks to my palate for being so great.

22oz bottle. Pours clear amber in color with full foamy tan head. Aroma sweet, citrus hops and spicy. Taste spicy, yeasty and cirtus hops with bitter grapefruit finish.

22oz bomber served in a Livery trappist glass. Cloudy, glowing orange pour with a thin head of off-white foam that quickly faded away. Spotty lacing. The aroma consisted of pale malt, soapy pine, and citrus. The flavor featured upfront citrus and pine bitterness, followed by some light candi sugar, pale malt, and also some bready yeast. The yeast is pretty clean if they were trying for a Belgian feel. Full-bodied and lightly carbonated. This one didn’t really do much for me. Not bad, but just boring and uninteresting.

Pours a hazy golden color with thin white head. Aroma is a bit of citrus and floral hops combined with some Belgian spice and light yeast notes. Taste is almost saison like with the yeast imparting an interesting funk to the mix of IIPA and Belgian spice. This is a terrific BSA.

Bottle at Butters Big Cellar Blowout. Pours an off-white head with a golden amber body. Smells of yeast, banana, and spice hops. Flavor is yeast, some banana, clove and bread notes. Finish is sharply bitter.
