May 10, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy golden colour with big foamy white head. Aroma of hops, yeasts and ciitrus. Taste is amazingly well balanced mix of citrus, and spicy tripel character with nice hoppy IPA blast. Great beer!

May 9, 2009 Bottle: lovely beer, quite hoppy, alcohol well hidden, fruity, some dusty yeasty character, some lemon and tangerine notes, overall bitter but very well balanced beer, very enjoyable.

May 8, 2009 Very earthy, bready yeasty, musty aroma. I think this beer is the epitome of balance. Its got fruitiness, spice, a hoppy bitterness, although i think its more of a English hopping, a bit earthy imo. Very light and dry, perfectly carbonated. Alcohol is nowhere to be found. The hops are not as prevalent as described to me, although they fit in nicely. This is just well done all around.

May 7, 2009 750ml bottle from total wine in greenville. pours a beautiful, orange gold with a huge, soapy, white head and great retention. aroma is wonderful with big notes of belgian yeast, lemon zest, mandarin orange, herbal spice, nutmeg, and a hint of apricot and grass. flavor was outstanding with big zesty, citrus hops with orange lemon out front balanced by the sweeter belgian flavors of banana, cinnamon, green apple, and yeast with a nutty malt back end and peppery hint on the swallow. finish is dry, with a hint of citrus and sugary sweetness. mouthfeel was medium bodied, dry but extremely crisp and refreshing, with big carbonation.

May 5, 2009 This is really nearly a perfect big beer. As expected, amazing head retention. The huge hop flavor is dealt with perfectly by the trippel’s dryness. I will buy another bottle to rate again. Amazing.

May 3, 2009 quite possibly my favorite beer. bummed about the blowout upon opening but was prepared and can’t believe the head. huge lace. uber dry and killer cleanliness. the cali hop and the spicy belgian yeast equals complexity unmatched in any other brew. dont be denied.

May 1, 2009 Bottle. Extremely effervescent. Popped the cap and it over flowed. Nothing wrong with it, though. Pours a cloudy gold with thick head leaving a lot of lacing. Aroma is not particularly strong, but definitely spicy with some banana notes and hops. Flavor is far hoppier than a normal triple. Plenty of fruitiness to balance it. The hops do a nice job of drying out a sweet style. Alcohol is well hidden. This is an interesting combination of an IPA and triple. Very well done.
