Commercial Description:
A pale beer born of a single malt. Balance derived from whole flower hops. Created from water drawn deep beneath the feet of the world's oldest mountains. Flavor driven by a faithful dedication to excess. All brought to life by yeast from a holy place.

Richmond Gathering. C&C 750, thanks to dkachur. Hazy gold with a small off white head. Peppery yet sweet nose, odd fruity tone I can’t quite place. Some lavender notes. Spice amps up quite a bit as it warms. Spicy flavors, a bit dusty, but a soapy astringent note keeps this from being far better. Still, pretty tasty.

Appearance: Pours a clear, orange-amber body with a small, wispy, white head. Smell: Vague pale maltiness wrapped up with notes of orange citrus oils, yeast, and candi sugar. Taste: Pale malts followed by a candi sguar sweetness. Distinct orangey taste. Mild hop bitterness. Light coriander spice character. Slight sour hint to the warm, drying finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation. Drinkability: A decent American-born tripel.

Bottle shared at ogglethorps: Ummm... this beer is not for me. Not only that, but I don’t even think it was well done. Un-eloquently put, this beer tasted like sweetened apple juice diluted wheat beer, with about as much carbonation as you’d expect from that marriage. Very weird.

Listen to the Mandolin Rain! Uh anyway a murky orange appearance with a minimal white head. The aroma is sweet potatoes, candi sugar, and citrus. The flavor contains some oranges, spices, and more sweet potatoes. The finish is a bit syrupy. Different but ok.

A floral purfume aroma that hints of corriander and Belgian yeast. A lightly hazed golden pour. Flavor of light speiced corriander and other spices. Medium bodied wit aggressive carbonation. A bit of an aftertaste that I dont find unpleasant but its a little bitterish.
