May 26, 2009 Sampled at the Alexi TN distributor’s tasting; thanks Jim Bird! Clearish golden pour with good white head. Nose of coriander and belgian yeast. A bit of a tart finish with a dusty palate. Overrated I think.

May 22, 2009 Bottle 9 l. A hazy golden to orange colour with quite an abundant head. Fruits and some spiciness in the aroma. Hints of banana, pear and pepper in the flavour. A delightful tripel. The 9 litre bottle sure got us some respect at the pub.

Apr 25, 2009 750 ml bottle. Poured into a snifter a deep pearlescent amber with a thick white head . Not much lacing as the head dissipated quickly. Strong aromas of spice and fruits. Very pleasant, but missing that yeasty smell i love so much about Belgian ales. The taste is a mirror of the nose, but with a creamy maltiness and a nice bitter hop bite that lingers. Very nice brew.

Apr 19, 2009 Sweet spicy soft tripel that I like very much, it seems much more balanced than many of its brothers.

Apr 14, 2009 On tap. Papaya, passionfruit and banana aroma, very estery, sweet, with some chemical notes. A bit vegetal, chewy, marshmallow flavors, more fruitiness and a bit of sweetness. Not the best. I was pretty disappointed by this, it lacked the dryness, doughiness and complexity of its better Belgian brothers. Tasted more like an American-style tripel to me, which is to say far too sweet and estery.

Apr 9, 2009 Very clear, bright, gold body with a medium sized white head that dissipates rapidly into a spotty layer of foam. Grassy aroma with some citrus. Flavor is bready malt, a bit of overripe fruit, mild bitterness, initially semi-dry. Finishes with building sweetness and alcohol. Full mouthfeel with good carbonation. Understated but good.

Apr 9, 2009 Draft at Rattle N Hum. Pours a hazy golden body with a white head. Dusty apple and orange fruity esters with hints of sugars and some light spices. Good stuff.
