Orange body. Taste is banana and cloves - as many Triples show. Lots of carbonation. Nice aroma. Not too sweet. Not bad by any means.

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle @ The Headkeeper. Pours a hazy orange/amber, very small white head that dissipates rather quickly. Touches of sweet malt, yeast and some vague fruit notes show up in the aroma. Fruit notes are more dominate in the flavor, mostly peach and tangerine, spices and some alcohol notes. Finish is a tad too sweet for my liking.

Bottle from brewery, poured a hazy copper orange with foam white head. Yeast and spice aroma. Slight pepper/clove and dry sweetness. Alcohol was well blended but something lacks in the body, a little light.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of spicy Belgian yeast, candi sugar and green apple. Flavor is sweet malt with some sour yeast and bitter hops, alcohol taste is very mellow. Medium body with an average carbonation and a slightly syrupy mouth feel. Not bad, just a bit sweet for me, wish it was a bit drier.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
In short: A sugary yet dry spicy triple that feels just a bit too harsh
How: Bottle 12oz. Consumed relatively fresh 2 months after purchase
The look: Partly cloudy dark blonde body topped by a small white head
In long: Nose is aggressively yeasty plenty of dried fruits and a strong minerals sensation. Taste of mineral water, dried fruits, crushed aspirins, strong spicy character, fruits skin, white sugar (crystal malts?), bananas, dry grass. I like a dry beer but this was crushed aspirin dryness. Aggressive carbonation. Overall this beer feels a bit rough and not highly drinkable. With so many easily available and better examples
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
The Dan Journal #274. Tasted 7/11/09. 12oz bottle. Hazy with a straw golden hue. Big perfumy nose with nuances of citrus and melons. Rather full bodied with a very zesty palate. Super bright effervescence. Totally gum tingling. Nice citrus, peppery hop note. Lingering, yet dry finish.
