Bottle. Cloudy orange with a lush, but quickly diminishing head. Sweet nose , with notes of biscuit and herbs. Flavor is quite sweet upfront, bordering on cloying, yet finishes pleasantly dry. Not amongst the best of style, but nice overall.

(cleaning out my beer bottle collection as pictured in my profile and utilizing ratebeer.com)
As I recall, and I have had this several times other than the bottle in the collection, this is a very good Triple. Nice balance of flavors in fruit and spice. Serve in a goblet and let the head settle.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 Boutip (3294) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - APR 17, 2008
Bottle: Poured a dirty orangey color ale with a nice big foamy head with good retention and some nice lacing. Aroma of fruity ester with a lightly spicy touch is very interesting. Taste is a well balanced mix between some sweet malt with some notes of fruity ester and some lightly spicy notes form the yeast. Great carbonation with a full body and no alcohol was apparent. Very well done and something I wouldn’t mind having regular access to.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 Brouwser (119) - gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - APR 13, 2008
De couleur orangée avec un voile moyen, composés de particules duveteuses. Laisse une mousse blanche moyenne mais éphémère. Effervescence moyenne et dentelle blanche.
Parfum de blé fermenté, de pommes, d’agrumes et de raisins (vin). Il y a aussi une note boisée, fumée et résineuse (proche de l’encens).
Le goût est d’abord salé, puis sucré et enfin légèrement amer. Comporte plusieurs flaveurs : froment, vin blanc, abricot, anis, banane, ananas et brandy.
Il y a un délicieux et long arrière-goût de pâte de pain non cuite (levures et blé).
Superbe complexité de parfums et de flaveurs.
La bouche moyenne, avec de fines bulles.
Super bière, pour ma part j’ai été impressionné et surpris. Au départ, elle avait l’apparence des bières blanches dont je ne raffole pas particulièrement…
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 BigBen2120 (688) - Derry, New Hampshire, USA - APR 10, 2008
750ml caged and corked bottle from The Lighthouse in Manchester. Pours a hazy golden orange with virtually no head. Smell is kind of weak, but hints at biscuit malt and spice. Tastes malty with biscuit malt having a firm presence, with some faint toffee and notes toward the finish. Tastes somewhat fruity also, but more of an apple than a citrusy like I’m used to from the style. Medium-bodied with moderate to low carbonation. Tasty and pleasant, but not at all what I was expecting. Very drinkable for the ABV, and the alcohol is not even noticeable. Complex and unique
