Commercial Description:
The aroma of this beer is agreeably gentle and is carried by a discreet bitterness while the balance between the malt and hops relies on fruity accents and a lightly fresh aftertaste.

750ml bottle. Poured hazy golden yellow in color with a thin off white head that left little lacing on the glass. Aroma of yeast, bread, orange citrus, honey, and some spices. Tastes of bready yeast, spices, sweet malts, honey and some light citrus. Its balanced well, but it didn’t fall in love with this one.

Bottle from By the Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a deep golden-mustard-orange body with a frothy thick white blanket head. Nose of spicy peppers, yeastiness, and honey. Complex and bountiful palate. Prickly mouthfeel with a lot going on on the tongue. Bready, sweet, gritty, yeasty, a little cloying, but not too bad.

Best Before: 21 06 10. Appearance: Pours a bright, clear, golden body with a huge, foamy, white head. Smell: Aroma smelling of spicy hops, lightly bready malts, orange blossom honey, and cracked black pepper. Taste: Lightly bready malts sweetened with honey and light caramel sauce. Spicy hops with a medium bitterness. Touch of peach fruitiness. Dash of hop spices. There’s a little ’pop’ of acidity. Odd hint of licorice comes and goes. This is followed by a bit of sourness. And this is followed by some alcohol warmth as you’re led into the sweetish finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Sticky mouthfeel. Medium-high carbonation. Drinkability: I rather enjoyed it. A very nice tripel, a style, I’ll admit, I can be a bit fussy towards. It’s got the usual tripel traits, but it’s like someone blended in a sweeter, bready Vienna lager into it. There, I had to get that off my chest. And you know what? It felt good. It’s good to be honest.

12oz bottle. Smooth nose of citrus and yeast with caramel and vanilla. Pours a deep hazy gold with a a thick foamy head. Flavor is very yeasty with notes of bread, spicy hops and a strong malt backbone. Much better balanced than most tripels, a really tasty brew.

Bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a dense white head. Aroma is fruity, with melon, peach and orange, and also yeast and spice. Medium body. Flavor is nice but a bit lighter than the aroma led me to believe. Fruity and Yeasty. Not bad.

A hazy golden colored beer, with a white head. It disappears quickly. The aroma is malty, some yeast and fruity, notes of orange. The taste is a little spicey, very malty and fruits like orange. It has a dry aftertaste, but it’s a good tripel
