75cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a clear dark yellow with a thick, white head that lingers. Aroma is citrus, malt, yeast, and faint notes of alcohol. This beer seems to be strongly carbonated. Flavor is also somewhat citrusy, with predominate notes of orange and faint hints of lemon. Medium-bodied ale with a smooth, somewhat lingering finish.

very good tripel, nice golden orange color with a fluffy white head, strong yeast smell with plenty of citrus, the flavor is nicely balanced with the alcohol content, i pick up mostly oranges with the flavor. This is a great tripel one of the best i’ve had at least.

hazy gold pour with a medium sized off white head. Aroma is strong fruit esters, mostly pear and orange. Flavor is pear, flower, orange, pear, all sorts of belgian yeast, and a bit of funk. Very fresh tasting. Finishes lightly sweet with a bit of bitterness to round it all out.

Bottle, thx to fonefan. It pours a lot of floaters, else it is a clear golden beer, topped by a white head. Cellarish aroma, fruity and citrusy, some apple, and pale malt. Rather ordinary actually. It’s fruity and a bit sweet in the mouth, rather bitter, with pale malt and citrus. Nice level of carbonation, and it finishes fruity and bitter. A nice tripel, but not world class, it lacks a bit on the aroma, and overall the beer fails to stand out. (080412)

Bottle from Rivers Bend. Poured hazy orange color with a huge frothy head that lasted with excellent lacing. Complex citrus fruit and yeasty aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium fruity balanced flavor with a medium sweet & sour finish of long duration with a small alcohol bite. This is a good beer.
