drewbeerme (1711), Chicago, Illinois, USA Apr 27, 2008 750ml bottle. pours hazy orange with white head. aroma of candy sugar and some funk. flavor is sugary but a nice touch of funk to it that makes me really like this tripel. i only got a small sample and didn’t take many notes.
Immy (1477), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Jul 3, 2008 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. ChainGangGuy (1444), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Jun 12, 2008 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. Rogueone (291), I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA Jun 4, 2008 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. Shag (1750), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA May 31, 2008 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. decaturstevo (1124), decatur, Tennessee, USA May 25, 2008 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.
