Jan 1, 2008 Consumed on draft at brewery, 12/30/07. Cloudy, light yellow. No active bubbles, small ring of foam for a head. Aroma is clove and... maybe vanilla? Flavor is sweet with cloves and lemongrass and a touch of black pepper. The waitress compared it to Blue Moon to help me understand what the beer would tatse like. I smiled and thanked her. I think I would compare it more to Hoegarden, but only superficially. Well exectued and the alcohol content is very deceptive.

Jan 1, 2008 on tap-pours a disappearing white head and slightly hazy pale yellow color. Aroma is perfumy, sweet, vanilla? Taste is perfumy, yeast, sweet, spices, vanilla?, some alcohol.

Has hints of the Belgian "trashy" yeast - but very light. Light yellow with a hint of cloudiness to it. Surprisingly flavorless for a tripel. I am not a fan of this style and this seems to be quite a weak representative of it.

Dec 11, 2007 Draught at the brewery. Not a characteristic trippel but still an enjoyable beer. Appearance: think hefeweizen with a medium white head. Aroma was yeasty dominance with a crisp fruit background. Flavour was uncharacteristically sweet and fruity instead of spice. Pleasant beer but not quite a trippel. I’m rating it based on my appreciation and not necessarily its "trippel" character.

Dec 6, 2007 Clear faint yellow pour. Typical belgian yeast smell with fruity notes that I find more like rancid fruit. More strongly flavored than their other beers, but still thin in body. Sharp lasting yeast flavor. Not my style of beer, nor a particularly great example I think.
