Mar 12, 2009 Draft at High Street. Poured a clear bubbly gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma was fruity and yeasty with some very noticeable hops that come off fruity but more peachy then citrus. Medium bodied with strong carbonation. The sweetness of the triple is cut by the strong hop presence but highly drinkable.

Mar 11, 2009 Pale, hazy golden colour. Spicy, yeasty flavour fades into some dry hop bitterness. Slightly warming through the alcohol although it’s flavour is not tracable.

Mar 10, 2009 1 pt. 9.4 oz. bottle - Poured cloudy straw color with huge foaming head and alot of chunks floating around.
Aroma - yeast, wheat, light citrus and opium.
Flavor - bread, spice, citrus, alcohol and pineapple.
Palate - medium bodied with alot of carbonation. Finish is dry and bitter with a somewhat metallic aftertaste.
Overall - Well crafted beer except for the huge soapy head. It foamed up like vinegar and baking soda. It also tastes better when it warms, flavor seem to blend better.

Mar 9, 2009 Insanely carbonated, it blew across the room as I opened the bottle, spilling hafl the beer before I could plug the spout.
Has a Belgian yeast nose, fruity and vinous, of oranges and pineapples floating atop a glass of wine. Earthy hops come through as well.
Sweet and full bodied, almost syrupy. Has a mild spiciness but the hop flavor is more citrus. Has the candy-like sweetness of an American IPA but the bold malty goodness of a Belgian. Alcohol is hidden well. Slightly dry finish. Great melding of the two cultures. Worthy of having another!

Mar 5, 2009 Location: On tap at the Blind Tiger Feb ’09
Overall Impression: Really enjoyable beer. Combines the hoppiness of an IPA with the flavors and complexity of a nice Tripel, and while it’s not in the IPA mold the name might suggest, it still works.

Mar 5, 2009 Bottle. Little shook up, foamed over on opening. Tangerine color, thick ivory head with good retention, awesome lacing. Smells spicy, not very hoppy. Spicy, malt, a little biscuit, citrus/floral hop, bitter finish. Not as crazy as I was expecting, a hopped up tripel rather than an IPA with belgian flavor. Damn nice drinkable belgian, hops keep it interesting.
