Apr 23, 2008 2006 bottle. Pours a briliantly clear pale gold with fluffy off-white head. Picking up some horse blanket on the nose with citrus fruits. Medicinal and mouth puckering. Very yeasty flavor (don’t usually mind that but I didn’t care for this particular strain used). Lingering bitterness. I love Left Hand and belgian tripels, but this one just didn’t do it for me.
