From a stubby capped 11.2 oz. brown bottle with a best before date on the lower right side of label, 03/2008, served in a chalice at cellar temperature. Made a decent appearance, poured a hazy orange hued pale golden with a foamy white head that settled into a thin lacing, good carbonation. Had a lemony, peppery, dry yeasty and spicy alcohol nose. A crisp, slick and carbonated smooth medium bodied mouth feel, good sipping drinkability. Pear fruity, clove and peppery taste, a sweet maltiness, solvent flavored alcohol warmth in the palate, and a sweet malty crisp, yeasty and solvent finish. A nice tripel, tasty and balanced overall, a good sipper on a warm midwest night.

Pours a dark yellow/golden liquid with a medium head disappearing very fast. Strong malty and sweet taste. Drink it along a melted cheese meal.

Pours clear medium yellow with a huge frothy head. Boring aroma, slightly yeasty. Burning mouthfeel from all the alcohol, tastes of little else besides. Another one for the sink from Honsebrouck.

Bottle. Pours hazy golden with a decent sized white head. Aroma of yeast, belgian spices, sweet malts, citrus, and alcohol. Flavor is surprisingly smooth, citrus, yeasty, spices are present. Good body, good brew.

On tap at Ortinos Northside. Pours a very hazy golden with a small lacing head. Aroma was very fruity, bubblegum, Belgian spices and yeast. Very nice aroma. Flavor along the same lines. Some lemon and listed as a Tripel at the bar which I would agree with. Very solid for the style.
