Bottle: Big floral/perfumey aroma with some yeastiness and faint apple. It pours a transparent gold with a moderate fluffy white head. The flavor starts with faint apple and yeast. Like the aroma, the finish has strong floral/perfume notes with some faint alcohol present. Medium bodied with a somewhat fizzy mouthfeel.

Nov 18, 2007 Updated: Jan 23, 2008Batch 1 in trade from hophead75: This is the finest aroma on a beer in recent memory. All fresh and yeasty, with huge waves of sugar and a touch of graininess in the nose. Absolute perfection. The body is quite carbonated; keeps the carbonation alive through the whole beer, but the body isn’t substantially thinned by it. Lovely little clouds of head float around in small clumps (not rocky or meringue-like). Cotton-candy-like mouthfeel, with giant simple flavors of sugar, anise and pepper, all roughly equal. I think this is one the the finest tripels I have ever had. Much better than the American hops version.
Batch 2 from memory (8/4/7/4/16 = 3.9): I loved the color of this beer; bright golden yellow, pillowy head, very inviting. Hops are evident everywhere, a bit of peachy fruit but also metallic elements, sweet all over, but not cloying - in fact, the mouthfeel is a little cottony and light. Would have loved some more spiciness to dry the whole thing out, but still a delightful beer. From willblake many moons ago.

Nov 4, 2007 Shared with jsquire, thanks...Pours slightly cloudy golden with a light longlasting white head. Good aroma of honey, malt, yeast and citrus. Flavor is less intense with too much carbonation.

Oct 31, 2007 Hazy golden color with a head like beaten egg whites. Spicey nose with lots of yeast. Orange peel, which grew as it warmed, coriander, doughy yeast, all very tingly on the tongue. It has all the right tripel flavors

Oct 16, 2007 Courtesy mgumby10. Cloudy dark straw color with a thick white head. Spicy sugar-infused aroma - candied light malt. Well-carbonated and light bodied. A very nice tripel - a good spice component and a sweetness that stays well shy of sickly. Nice.
