On tap at the PDX Green Dragon. Nice tripel, light bodied, and very dry. Lacked a bit of sweetness up front, that made the body feel very dry, almost champagne like quality. Estery nose, light citrus and soft clove character.

Glass enjoyed on tap at Green Dragon’s meet the brewer night in PDX--Poured a hazy bright golden-orange hue with a wispy rich whitish head. Sweet, floral, yeasty, phenolic, bright, American, Belgian. Clean, flavorful easy drinking with a well-masked alcohol profile. Nice beer!

Amber with a small head and lace. Aromas of yeast and dough. Coriander and cloves. Damn good. Some biscuits. Fruity as well. Awesome citrus and yeast flavors with sour dough. Spices a plenty. A little hot, but damn good.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled draught at Main Street Ale House, Gresham
Clear bronze color, light head, small lacing, very low carbonation for what Im used to in the style. The nose is fruity with melon and nice yeast esters. The flavor is nicely tart, sweet and again, seems lacking the bubbly carbonation. This is a nice tripel with conservative hopping rates for a PNW beer.
