Nov 30, 2008 (10/26/08) Draught at The Ginger Man in New York. Slightly hazy deep golden to amber color with a small, quickly-diminishing, white head. Aroma of fruits (peach, apricot and apple hints), some yeast, a bit of malt and spicy notes. Sweetish spicy flavor with a bit of caramel, some fruitiness, yeast and a dry spicy finish. Medium-bodied. OK but nothing exciting.

Nov 29, 2008 Bottle from GMCC2181. Poured a pale golden color, decent to generous sized white head. The aroma was apples, grains, some yeast. Flavor followed suit, apples, grains, yeast, dry grassy type hop finish, light-fruited candy. Mouthfeel was light and dry, crisp finish, good stuff. Thanks, Gabe!

Nov 27, 2008 Verre de 4 oz, d’une bouteille au Bières, Caprices et Flaveurs 2008. Arômes de houblon citronné et herbal. Robe dorée, légère mousse. Assez mince en bouche, le côté belge de la bière est éclipsé par le gros houblon américain. On ne note qu’une légère touche de levure épicée. Finale moyennement amère d’alcool. Bon, mais on ne peut pas vraiment parler d’une triple.

Nov 17, 2008 Bottle thanks to dchmela. Cloudy golden orange pour with a big foamy white head. Strong apricot and milder citrus. Big taste of fresh tart crisp apples. Light bready yeast. Good balance of sweet/yeasty/slight sourness. Nice floral notes. Pretty boozy, which I found to be one of the few drawbacks of this beer.

Oct 10, 2008 Bottle via trade. I’ll take this as an American twist on the Belgian basic. Good, but different. A little more bitterness and hop characteristic than typical. Missing some of the expected sweetness as a balancer. Still good though. Honestly did not notice a HINT of the 10 ABV; very well hidden.

Oct 6, 2008 American Tripel? Belgian IPA...? Lightly clouded dark yellow. Delicious golden aroma. Dusty juicy grapefruit Tripel. Pretty clean taste. Lots of hops. A big hoppy Belgian IPA!!

Oct 5, 2008 Had from the bottle - I am so happy they are doing that now - and poured into a snifter. It pours a cloudy, unfiltered looking yellow with a thin head. The aroma to me it dominated by citrus. A very very strong citrus aroma that follows through to the taste. The taste is complex bring the citrus, some earthy tastes, fruits like bannanas and it is sweet while sipping but ends a touch bitter. It gets better and better as it goes on. can knock you on your butt if you aren’t careful.
