Light orange color. Medium white lacy head. Aroma is dark fruits and spice. A medium bodied Tripel. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are slightly spicy. Touches of orange and caramel. Nicely balanced. Very smooth. No alcohol bite at 9%. Nice beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Karl strauss, actually making something good, well then. Had a cloudy rusty color to it with some nice white head. Lots of nice dark fruits in the aroma. Had kinda the same in the body with a good amount of butterscotch like malts. I can not believe this exists from K Struass.

Sampled @ Strong Ale Fest San Diego

The beer pours a clear amber color with a generous head that is creamy and light tan in color with the lace forming a fine sheet upon the glass. Malt dominates the nose, sweet and fresh, a pleasant sniffer with the start lightly sweet and decently malted, top is moderate in feel. Finish is moderately carbonated the hops prickly in their spiciness also quite dry and a decent drinking beer.
