Dec 7, 2008 22oz bottle from The Epeeist, thanks Chris. Medium orange/yellow pour with a white head. Somewhat sweet buterscotch aroma. Sweet buttery flavor as well, not too great.

Nov 19, 2008 Pretty lame for a tripel. Or a beer in general. A lot of alcohol in the nose, and a lot more in the taste with no real impressive fruit flavors. Wont buy again.

Nov 17, 2008 Draft at The Stumbling Monk. Pours slightly hazy medium gold with a dense and persistent creamy tan head. Bone dry; some old hay and some biscuit comprise the bulk of the nose. Medium body, a bit of carb, but not a lot. Ultra dry--biscuit, hay, slightly dusty mid-palate with a mild finish.

Nov 1, 2008 Pours a hazy orange with a decent, though dissipating head.Aroma is nice. Far more American ale than Belgian tripel, but a great balance of hops and light malts, citrus fruits, yeast and alcohol. Fermented fruits are at the forefront of the flavor, and I hate to say it, but this one is a victim of its ABV. The alcohol is prominent enough that it detracts from the flavor, which offers sweet citrus (satsumas?) and a bit of green bell pepper. Fairly disappointing.

Oct 27, 2008 Bottle. Amber beer with an off-white head. Bready, yeasty aroma with light fruitiness. Malt and bready flavor with light caramel and light spice. Medium bodied. Breadiness, caramel, and yeast linger. Some fusels noticeable.

Oct 21, 2008 Smells of fruit. Pours dark gold. Tastes ok, strong fermented fruit and malt. Head didnt last long and aftertaste didnt either. Not really impressed.

Oct 19, 2008 Nice frothy and long-lasting head with orange color for the body. Smell was thick and fruity. The taste however was nothing really exciting. Alcohol was present in the taste and so was some fruitiness. But overall it was unbalanced. The hops were in the wrong places and the beer was too astringent and had a kind of gross bitterness to it. Also it had an annoying metallic taste. Not friends with this beer.

Oct 16, 2008 Orange straw, small white head. Very light aroma of fresh orange, hops, and slightly barnyardy. Very feathery weight for a 9% alcohol beer. If I had to guess the alcohol of this beer if I didn’t know I would say 5-5.5%. It tastes like dry orange and apricot marmalade. Fresh, clean, and slightly hoppy. Not very complex by any means, but a very drinkable tripel.
