Commercial Description:
This golden hued ale is marked by passion fruit and herbal notes in the aroma, with subtle suggestions of banana and honey surfacing from its deep and complex palate. The Tripel's finish is remarkably long and soothing.

750ml Bottle from Champanes, sampled in a tulip glass, has a orange pour with some darker orange and yellow hues, there is a little haze from the fine particles in the brew, decent effervescence, produced a creamy white head that hangs around and leaves white bubbled lacing on the glass, aromas of fresh orange and pear fruit, orange skin, citrus, faint floral and spice notes, pale malt, faint light fruit and white sugar sweetness, flavors of bright light fruit – orange and lemon with flavor of pale malt, and has spice, tartness and pepper at the finish, and is dry at the finish, mouth feel is light, less than medium, creamy, a touch of alcohol warmth with each sip after the ale warmed up a bit, this Tripel has a good presentation, nice nose and flavors, a very good beer.

Bottle. 25.4 oz. Pours hazy wheat-tinged golden, with a tall, solid, creamy white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, honey, barley, and hints of banana. Medium bodied, but very crisp and satisfying. Moderate finish. Decent tripel.

Bottled and available all over town. Might have had on tap at Uber as well. Lots of flavors here swirling around.

750ml bottle poured into a Sam Adams Sensory glass produced a thick, foamy, off-white head and light amber body. Reminded me of Leffe. Citrus and spice dominated the flavor with hints of grapes and honey.

Corked bottle from BevMo. The hazy, orange-hued body of straw sparkles, topped with a huge head of eggshell that fades to a sheath and coats the glass. Spicy aroma with clove, coriander, sugary malts, light fruits, a wisp of lemon, a perfrume-like fragrance of a floral base (like gardenia). Mouthfeel is medium-full with gentle carbonation and a fairly dry finish. Flavor is crisp with citrus, lemon, straw, coriander, and a long, balanced finish that dries the mouth. Hints of wood, esters, white grape.

This bomber pours a cloudy golden yellow/orange with a thin white head. Aroma of yeast and fruit. Taste is of sweet bread, vanilla, honey and a subtle malt, followed by undertones of fruit, especially citrus and banana. Started with pouring two-thirds of the botlle and finished with the last third to get the full effect of the yeast. This is a very impressive Tripel and one I would like to locate again
