Feb 13, 2008 Clear, golden with a large, frothy white head that falls to a thin film, leaving behind uneven sheets of sticky lacing. Aroma of apricot, caramel and alcohol. Further sniffs detect spicy notes similar to cinnamon and cloves. Malty sweet flavor, some maple syrup and spicy hops lend a moderately bitter finish. Light-to-moderate carbonation level, perfect for the style.

Jan 30, 2008 Thanks Winston for picking this up for me!
Pour is slightly hazy golden color with a thinner head, especially for the style. Fruit dominates the aroma, banana, orange, citrus, lemon. Flavor is light bodied, not what I’d expect from the style. Kind of a tangy flavor but the flavors really don’t scream out at you. It’s hard to describe this beer. All of the elements are there with the exception of the flavor. One of the easiest drinking and least challenging tripels I’ve ever had.

Jan 15, 2008 I love this beer. Calling it a tripel is a stretch, but this is fabulous. Aroma was a little weak but mostly caramel malt. Pour was a boring flat hazy orange with no head. Taste was suprisingly and refreshingly hoppy for a tripel. Strong malt backbone with a hoppy bite that doesn’t linger. Tastes like a weak barley wine and nothing like a tripel. Nice beer!

Jan 14, 2008 Bottle from a 12 pack sampler. Bright gold body with a slightly off white head. The aroma is like banana nut muffins with some earthy mushrooms behind it. Musky and leathery, this has some cake donut character. There is also a strong note of clove type spice in the finish. Overall, this is fairly thin and a little on the sweet side. Decent, but nothing special.

Jan 4, 2008 Bottle. Golden body, white head, sweet nose with alcohol notes. Not much in the way of esters or spices, alcoholic, sweet, not a very good example of the style.

Dec 18, 2007 Yellow gold with mild head formation. Aroma of sweet fruits mostly oranges and peaches. Flavor reminds me of a barleywine; a fruity sweetness along with some hops and an alcohol burn.
