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.

Sep 10, 2008 Draft at some hotel in Durham.
Pretty nice belgian ale, light in color with lots of lace, heavy on the fruity estersbut generally quite enjoyable and considerably better than what I expected to find on the hotel tap. Reasonable yeast spiciness, well concealed abv. Enjoyable.

Aug 26, 2008 22oz from Parker & Otis, Durham. Very clear golden pour, with faint hints of amber in there. Lively carbonation, decent head. The aroma is crisp and hoppy, but also sweetly candied. A nice, moderate mouthfeel, ever so slightly slick owing to the sweet malts. But the finish is dry, hoppy, and a touch spicy. Nice one from the locals in Bull City.
