Bottle at Beer Universe Saugerties: Hazy amber in the mug with a thin oily head that sits and looks at you. Sparse droopy lacing. They talk alot about the orange peel and the coriander but it seems about average at first but become more robust as it warms. Rising body to yeast and spice finish. I am certain this critter has peeled a few in its day. Tripels always seem so daunting since they will smack you down quickly. This critter is surprisingly drinkable. Nose of spice. Quick compact and powerful body. Finish strikes just as I was enjoying the body and makes the brew a bit of a let down. Not enough contemplation time. A longer body would give me a better ride.

Bottle, this was a drain pour for me, it was very harsh with not backbone to hide the harshness and it was tough to drink. I will give it another chance if I see it again

Dark orange tinted gold. Clear all the way through. The orange peel is liqueur-like on the nose. Very powerful, accented with yeasty esters. Full bodied Tripel with a balanced mix of spice, yeast and fruit. Very long finish with a hint of alcohol heat. Very good.

(Bottle) Pours deep orange. The aroma holds doughy/spicy/white peppery yeast, crackers, bread, dry marzipan, citrus peel, banana, pears, melon, touch of red berries, cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander and a dash of grassy/herbal hops. Complex and balanced nose. The flavour is light sweet, light bitter and tiny acidic with notes of spices, fruits, bread/cracker-like malt, mild but “green” hops and a dash of phenols. The mouthfeel is clean with a light to medium carbonation. Spicy, bready, doughy and light phenolic. Near medium bodied.

Taste is slightly sweet, tiny bitter and spicy with banana, green apples, overripe pears, nutmeg, allspice, white pepper, hay, raspberry ha candy, moist soil, watermelon, candi sugar and hints of bread and sheet metal.

Fruity yeasty flavor, spicy, peppery, red berries, pear, salt notes, herbal, some warming alcohol, coriander, apples, very nice balance. Pear finish, yeasty, spicy from white pepper and coriander.

65cl, American brew, thx to Secret Santa!, complex brew, spicy/sweet and slightly bitter/fruity, balanced, hazy, small head, nice brew, yet expensive!

Copper with minimal head. Candy sugar toffee mildly spicy aroma. Very sweet candy sugar and peach syrup with herbal slightly citric long woody finish. Cloying, thick, underattenuated. Typical American tripel rendition, syrupy sweet, heavy handed. Still okay.

Hazy orange body, white head. Aroma of wet malt, bit alcohol, strong sweetness. Flavour is bit spicy yeast with sweet malt and alcohol. Some orange. Unbalanced, much alcohol and nothing to do with trippel.
