Nov 23, 2007 The aroma began with a nice caramel malt presence coupled to a spicy hop and yeast presence. The aroma was estery and fruity to accompany the spice and malt. The beer arrived crystal clear pale golden with a low lasting head which laced the glass. The flavor was fruity with a light bit of spice through the strong esters and some presence of alcohol. Caramel presence was fairly low. The flavor presented as herbal and quite nice. The finish was dry with some lasting spice into the aftertaste. The body was medium with a very low level of carbonation. Alcohol warming was notable post consumption. A good beer, but in need of a carbonation boost. Pint at VDH.

Aug 13, 2007 Pours a golden color with very little head. Fruity aroma hints at peach, pineapple, and pear. This one is a bit bready at the start before giving way to tropical fruitiness. The carbonation is a little soft for the style and the alcohol is very well hidden. A good start for this new brewery.

Oct 20, 2007 Pours a gold color with some dirty straw hints. Thin wispy head. Aromas of bread, yeast, citrus, and a bit of mustiness. Crackly pepper flavor on the tastebuds followed by a "pineapple cotton candy" feel. Alcohol lingers in the background.

Jan 11, 2008 On draft at new Irish pub in Durham that I forget the name of. Poured a clear darkish straw color with a thin white head. Nice sweet, clean aroma with a tad of spice. Taste is sweet as well, but not cloying nor overly syrupy in the mouth. A short, crisp finish with some light spice. Sometimes tripels from smaller brewies can taste like candy, but this is a decent effort.
