Apr 21, 2005 Flashy hazy golden colored body with full small bubbled carbonation feeds a strong, creamy white head, lasting. Orange/curacao focused nose with plenty of citrus undertones. Honest yeastiness complements the generous dose of grassy hops. Very fine bubbles contribute to a warming feeling while the alcohol is almost unnoticeable. Dry palate, aptly constituted. Not the most complex, but highly enjoyable. Good one!

Apr 18, 2005 The Lure:
A superb crown of foam leaves behind a silky lacing as it slowly recedes. Malty gold and juicy oranges bounce off lactic suggestions. Served WAY too cold.
The Festivities:
A metabolism of creamy grain and orangey, peachy fruit is hurt by a few drops of water. Others might say though that this helps it gain drinkability, and I concur. Alcohol is very well hidden, and thus allows the green hoppiness to rise in the end. Feels and looks great, but I would prefer a slightly more flavorful malt profile to call this a world-class example. Still, one of their best efforts.
Transcendence:
Can a diamond be overpolished?

Apr 12, 2005 Mango, pineapple, tropical fruit in the sweet and yeasty aroma. Hazy golden-tan colured body is topped with a generous, fine-bubbled, white head that recedes slowly to lasting coverwith very nice lacing. Sweet and fruity flavour has plenty of Belgian yeast character and is quite dry and well-attenuated. Medium body with moderate carbonation that dances in the mouth. Very dry and refreshing despite the high ABV. This year’s version clocks in at 9.5%. On tap at the brewpub.

Apr 4, 2003 Hazy amber colour; fruity, hoppy, caramelly aroma. Moderate body. Brandyish, caramelly, with vague papaya fruitiness. More like a strong biere de garde than any tripel I'm familiar with.

Mar 31, 2003 Welcoming, warming, yeasty, buttery, strong sweet caramel nose, excellent balance, the perfect ending.

Mar 30, 2003 This is a great Tripel and will only get better as it ages. It is clean with some mild belgian complexities. It is still a little young at this point.
