3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a deep golden, slight haze, with a healthy creamy off-white head that leaves some clingy thick lace. Nose involves spice and clove notes, sugar cane, some citrus and banana, and plenty of doughy yeast. Very sweet flavor, with a light bitterness and a dash of tartness. Medium-full body, fairly active, with a zesty peppery phenolic yeasty finish. A decent brew, somewhat refreshing for its size, but ultimately too sweet.

Taster on tap at Jackie-Os. Clear golden color. Thin white head. Decent rows of lace. Bigger body. Smooth, lighter kind of soft carbonation. Some stickiness in the finish. Sweeter taste, somewhat spicy, bit of a hot bite in the finish. Belgian candy sugar, some spice, very light citrus notes. Not a great tripel. Bite is pretty pronounced and unnecessary.
