Nov 21, 2006 Bottle... Hazy yellow ale with a large, frothy, white head. Breadsy, fruity nose with notes of apricot and just a whisper of pear. Very good retention. Medium sweet, mildly bitter flavor. Fruity. Full-bodied with a lightly creamy mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Bittersweet, fruity finish. Lacks the spicy phenols and real spices that I usually detest in a tripel. Thanks to growler for sharing his bottle with kkearn and I.

Nov 13, 2006 Err, not real good. The worst of the variety pack. Just didn’t have that crisp taste I was looking for. Pass.

Nov 2, 2006 Pours a strawberry yellow with a lingering pool of white. Aroma is very nice and spicy, very fresh. Flavor tangy and unpleasant, gets better as I got used to it, but that never is a good thing.

Nov 1, 2006 This bottled brew from Aofoxxy at a rating party poured a small sized head of medium sized bubbles that was fully diminished and left behind a transparent uncarbonated light yellow-orange colored body and a poor lacing. The aroma was malty sweet orange peel and dough. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and strongly tingly at the finish caramel aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of sweet mildly vinous and mild caramel. A decent one that I would consider having again.

Oct 22, 2006 Golden, with a small, white head. Aromas are yeast, fruit, and hops. Flavors are hops, sugar, fruit, and yeast. Not a bad beer, but it’s not a tripel, to me.

Oct 20, 2006 Bomber. Slightly hazy amber with a fluffy white head. Aroma of sweet caramel and cookie malts, candy corn and hops. Caramel malty sweetness with some spice and very apparent, even distracting, citrusy hops. Some alcohol noticeable on the finish but mostly well hidden. Palate smooth though with a bit of annoying fizziness. More American IPA characteristics than those of a Belgian ale.

Oct 15, 2006 Bottle sample at Cliffton Beer Fest. Poured dark brown with an average frothy brown head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate roasted malt and hop aroma. Medium to full body with a slick texture. Medium balanced flavor with a medium biitersweet finish of moderate duration.

Oct 3, 2006 This beer is very lightly colored, crystal clear (ie - not filtered) with nearly no head at all. It is so very hoppy for a tripel - it smells more like an imperial IPA, with slightly more malts perhaps. It does have some interesting spices in the flavor, but again, it is soooo hoppy. It is also very hot and astringent. The alcohol is very evident.
