Bottle (1litre). Shared with Sammy and DrJay, Sammy’s bottle. Poured slightly hazy light amber with a small off-white head. Pleasantly fruity sweet aroma of apple, pear and apricot, plenty of yeast. Taste character was fruity and candyish, still lots of mildly spicy yeast, yes, but the alcohol yielded a somewhat unwelcome bitterness on the long finish. Mouthfeel was syrupy and limited carbonation, perhaps some acidity as well - all in all one of the nicer North American attempts at a tripel I’ve had - I really enjoyed it.

Aug 9, 2008 Appearance: Opaque, orange-gold body with a small, though sustaining, white head.
Smell: Candied, honeyish maltiness with a big kick of fruit medley and lesser notes of spice and booze.
Taste: Bready maltiness with a full candy and caramel sweetness. Rather tangy fruitiness throughout, tasting of apricots, peaches, and even tropical fruits. Array of spices. Light bitterness. Fruity, drying finish with a light touch of good, clean alcohol.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium-low carbonation.
Drinkability: A fine, quality tripel jam-packed with fruitiness.

Jun 4, 2008 Pretty tasty, kind of taste like Orval meets Golden Monkey in my opinion. Lots of spicy in the nose, with hints of coriander, and fruitcake, with some bready notes that follow through onto the palate. Very biscuity, with a malt sweetness, but the fruit character stick around and it remains dry throughout the finish. I really enjoyed drinking this.
