3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
22 ounce bottle into chalice, no bottle dating. Pours hazy golden orange color with a nice 1-2 finger dense off white head with great retention that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Some spotty lacing on the glass. Aromas of pepper, apricot, pear, banana, clove, biscuit, candi sugar, and yeast spices. Nice aromas with good balance. Taste of big pear, pepper, apricot, banana, clove, candi sugar, biscuit, spicy yeast, and some yeast tang. Lingering notes of biscuit, pear, apricot, pepper, and spicy yeast on the finish for a while. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a fairly creamy and slick mouthfeel. Decent balance of flavors with smooth drinking for 9.7%. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming after the finish. Overall this is a very solid American made Tripel. Definitely some better ones out there, but this is worth a try.

Wow! Fruity, caramel and malt taste. White head. Orange cloudy colour, with a long final. The alcohol is noticeable enough. A masterpiece! :)

On tap at brewery June 22, 2011. Hazy light orange-amber. Lingering lace. Tart caramel and citrus-orange in the mouth. Big and fuzzy with hints of minty spiciness.

22 oz. bottle from Randalls in North County (they have not yet been added). A nice white fluffy head has good retention. The beer is rich golden with light haze and carbonation. I smell wheat, yeast, candi sugar, and light fruit. It smells close to a Belgian Trippel. Those are all tasted and there is some hop bitterness. It becomes a bit boozy but not 9.7%. Spices and uncooked biscuits. The spice grew as the beer warmed and alcohol was more noticeable. In the end it does not quite measure up to Belgians.

Draught at Bashamichi. Clear, golden, honey-like with lace. Fruity, yeasty, spicy nose, stewed peaches, light honey, slight after funk. Alcohol strong in the mouth, very sweet, lots of honey, a bit cloying. No hops at all, it seems. Heavy. Nice enough, with good malt flavors, but not top class.

Bottle from beernovice39. Pours hazy orangish golden color with off white head. Fruity aroma with Belgian yeast. Sweet ripe fruit flavor with doughy yeast. Medium body with soft carbonation. Thanks Mark.
