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.

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. darkguardian (506), Florida, USA
