12 oz bottle
I found this on a recent beer run and picked up a bottle out of curiousity. I’m glad too. At $13.49 a six pack it is pretty pricy. I can understand why - if you’ve ever been to Arena Lake Louie is not exactly a major producer of beer. However it is enough of a deterrent that I won’t be picking it up. It is solid but hardly earth shaking. For the same price I can pick up a six pack of Expedition.
Aroma / Appearance - The bleached white head was thin and feeble. A coppery translucent body was lively with carbonation. Apple sauce, pears and peach jolly ranchers form a simple nose. If you are looking for complexity check elsewhere.
Flavor / Palate - Creamy canned peaches fill the mouth with sweet and fruity flavors. Cherry cordial comes next before a dry candy like finish. It’s not your usual Belgian. I found it a little underwhelming but still decent. This is just above average in my opinion.

Mar 21, 2008 Bottled. A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of oranges, spices - especially coriander and yeast. The flavor is also sweet malty with strong notes of fruity esters, yeast, and spices - again especially coriander, leading to a dry spicy finish. Nice triple.

Mar 21, 2008 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Skyview. Pours a hazy golden with an off-white head. Aroma of yeast and some banana. Quite full-bodied with plenty of fruit and yeast. Warming alcohol in the finish that also is a little astringent bitter. Starts off prety nice but ends a little crude. 210308

Jan 13, 2008 Slightly sweet aroma, hints of fruit, candi sugar, and yeast. Pours a hazy orange, with a dusting of head on top. Very sweet tasting, with a touch of seeds of paradise/pepper in the finish. Touch of alcohol in the throat. Not bad, but not my preference of style.

Dec 2, 2007 12/02/2007: Brother Tim’s Tripel Belgian has a cloudy, dull, brownish-orange color that looks opaque in the glass. The white to off-white head disappears quickly. There is a mild to moderate level of carbonation. Caramel malt, fruit, and a light amount of spiciness and bubblegum are present in the aroma. The flavor is full and well-balanced between a caramel and fruit maltiness and a delicately spicy and floral bitterness. There are also flavors of candi sugar, bread dough, bubblegum, cream of wheat, buttery toffee, and some warming alcohol. The complexity is fairly impressive. The body of this beer is medium and it is mellow and soft on the palate. Overall, this beer is very similar to <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/furthermore-fatty-boombalatty/71126/39793/>Furthermore Fatty Boombalatty. Brother Tim’s Tripel is categorized as a Belgian Tripel, but a bit more bitter and peppery in the finish. It also seems a bit dark and deeper in flavor than that of a typical Tripel. "Belgian Ale" might be a more apropos style for this beer, but let’s not split haris. Afterall, a good beer is a good beer regardless of the style!
