Draft at Stone. Cloudy gold with no head. Nose is orange peel, lemon, cardamom, coriander. Tastes like it smells, still a lot of spice after all these years. Some funk from the yeast.

Bottle to Chimay glass. Light copper color, minimal head. There were a ton of floaties suspended in this bottle. No time to wait for them to settle down so we poured anyway. Light lemon lime aroma. Taste is very citrussy with lemon and verbena led Inger the way. Acidic and puckering in the mouth. A little champagne like with some alcohol heat in the finish. Some clove and nutmeg spices show up, too. Not sure what to really think of this.

draft @ Lord Hobo. Hazy gold, no head. Nose is a subdued yeast with a spicy coriander note. Taste really is a complex blend of a Belgian Wit with a Tripel. Flavors of spicy yeast, citrus hops, passion fruit, lots of pale malts. Mouthfeel is soft and extremely clean. Medium body with some notes of candy sugar. This is a wonderful complex and tasty. SOOO glad I had a chance to enjoy this. Great brew.

Bottle. This was my oldest bottle and I’ve been wondering about it for a long time. Poured a cloudy apple cider color. Medium size off white head. Fruity aroma becoming sour as it warmed. Flavor of apples, spice, and orange peel. Mild palate. It was ok, but really not worth the wait. However fun to open a bottle that had been in my basement for 5 years.

(Draught) clear gold, ring of fine bubbles. Nose of candi sugar, muscat grape, citrus peel, white wine, smells delicious and complex. Taste of golden raisins, belgian yeast, wine barrel, pleasing alcohol heat. This has aged beautifully.

Draft at Hopleaf. Pours a bright gold with a white head, sticky. Nose is full of cloves and Belgian yeast. Some citrus and ginger but the citrus is pretty faded. On tasting, quite tripel like initially. Warming. The cardamom is quite strong here, particularly in the finish. Strongly astringent on the finish, likely due to the spicing. Some ginger warmth as well.

12-12-12, tap. Light gold, clear, no bubbles. Nose really is a cross b/w a saison and a triple. Sweet floral/perfume and big gold alcohol. Thin body and moderately fizzy. Lots of ginger, maybe some lemon rind but without the bitterness. Maybe too much ginger.
