3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
750 c&c. Probably from Monument in Concord some months ago. Pours very hazy gold with a creamy 3 finger white head. Aromas of citrus, stone fruit and yeast/spice. Med body; lightly frothy carbonation. The flavor is somewhat yeast/spice, citrus or cardamom, malty and a lightly earthy finish. It’s quite nice in the mouth, and the flavors work well together.

Bottle - 750mL - corked and caged. Deep amber pour with a steep, frothy white head. Yeasty and spicy aroma hides sweet malts, light floral notes, candied fruit and hints of bubblegum. Taste is rich, sweet malt, sweet, ripened fruit, dusty yeast, subtle spices, and floral hops. Body is medium-full with a strong, prickly carbonation. Ends with more sweet malt, bubblegum notes, yeast, floral hops, spices, and ripe fruit. Very tasty! Nice offsetting of the spices and sweetness.

750ml Bottle from TW. A hazy golden orange hue with an inch of head that dissipates to a thin layer. Spicy peppery Belgian like aroma, some light funk and sourness. Spritzy mouthfeel, lightly coating, some dryness in the fish and a fair amount of hop bitterness, Again very belgian in that respect. Flavor is spot on for the style. A little sweet and tart with dry finish. Good yeast flavor and spicy. Really great Tripel from a US Brewer!!

Notes from BCTC 09. Maybe had this in 08 as well. Aroma and flavor are really nice. Aroma has belgian spices, a bit of pepper and fruity esters. Flavor is slightly sweet but not too much, dries out a bit which is nice. Crisp with a hint of citrus, spice and yeast with a nice body. Well balanced and I like the dry finish. Can’t wait to try the bottles.
