Hazy burnt orange with a medium white head. Candy sugar, cirtrus and yeast in the nose. Flavour is apricots, malts and orange with some good spicyness. Good alcohol, orange and spice, quite a nice effort, very belgian, though I’m not sure it’s a trippel.

Jan 5, 2009 [Bottle] Pours a cloudy, lemony orange with a medium whitish head. Aroma is sweet/tart wheat, banana, clove, and yeast. Flavor matches with a little more spices. This should be more carbonated.

Jan 1, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy light amber color with a small white head. The aroma has a mild to moderate malt presence with sweet fruit (grapes, apples) and light spices. The flavor has an interesting mixture of fruits (apple, lemon citrus), wine, yeast, and moderate sweetness. On the lighter side. This was not my favorite triple.

Dec 26, 2008 22oz bottle poured into a tulip glass. TBOBTA pours light tangerine-colored with a smallish head. The beer is hazy and quite pretty. The aroma is subtle pear and sweet apple cider. The body is light but neither crisp nor oily. The taste is very cider-like with natural fruit sugar flavors. The Pilsener body adds a nice twist to this tripel. The finish is lingering and sweet, not unlike a wine.

Dec 26, 2008 22oz bottle from Parti-Pak Liquors (Indianapolis, IN). Pours a hazy caramel color with thin white head. Aroma is sweet with notes of cider, fresh ripe fruit, caramel, pear, apple and wet wood. Flavor is sweet and floral with notes of apple, over-ripe pear, and caramel with hints of spice and flowers. Generally medium body with a sweet and floral finish.

Dec 24, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Joey from South Bay Drugs and Liquor. Creates almost no formation of head but the ale has tiny carbonation bubbles rising in a dense glowing orange colored liquid. There is a mild nose of spice and yeast with a faint background of dried fruit such as pear or apricot. Flavor is more rewarding than the aroma hinted the beer to be since a richer serving of the dried fruit becomes more apparent and to repeat myself again apricot, pear and banana are tasted. Gently spiced with Belgian yeast as well as bold malt profile makes for an interesting drink and I believe this tripel has a unique twist to the recipe to make it different than the others. I feel very privileged to have tasted a bottle from Two Brothers Brewing since I had never heard of the company before.
