Eyedrinkale (3091), Beer Town, New York, USA Jan 20, 2004 Strong Ale '03. Oh, I wanted to love this beer but couldn't quite pull the trigger. Straw yellow with yeatsy floral aroma on which sat a thin head. Sweet finish. beerguy101 (3424), Newark, California, USA Dec 11, 2003 Light orange color. Small head. Aroma is orange, grape and other fruits. A medium bodied triple. Malts and yeasts were mild for a triple, but it had a nice estery fruity thing going on. Very smooth taste. A nice light and refreshing ale. Mouthfeel are full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. DaSilky1 (1528), San Diego, California, USA Dec 10, 2003 clear and golden with a white head...grapey hop aroma (where's the yeast, mr. trippel?)..Very white grapey aroma..spicy, almost yeasty flavor profile..almost like a blend of a CA pale ale & and a belgian blonde ale..clean, crisp, with a tad of white wine tartness...not as yeasty as a trippel usually is. Blake (204), Orange, California, USA Dec 8, 2003 Had on tap at San Diego Strong Ale Festival at Pizza Port, Carlsbad on December 6, 2003 This was my first beer of the day and I just decided to try it because it was hand written on the list of beers, a late addition. The tripel poured with an amber color and no head or lacing. The aroma was weak, but could definitely smell some malts. The taste was good, a pleasant surprise with a malty, sweet flavoring, easy to drink, no real aftertaste. A watery complexity, but nothing that knocked my socks off. A fine entry for this new brewery.
