Feb 5, 2009 Bottle from briandorryd55, thanks brian. Light yellow/orangish color. Monster rocky head that sticks around even while you drink it. Solid aroma of hops, sweet sugar, and earthy aromas. The lacing left on the glass sticks around as well. Taste is dry, earthy notes, a nice hop bite to it. Just a touch of the sweet triple character comes through in the after taste. Mostly hop taste....Texture is light but no way weak. I would of never guessed it to be nine percent. The alcohol is hidden well. Low carbonation level. Overall this is a very unique beer. Kind of like a ipa with saison characteristics. Not like most tripels I have had. I want to call it a dirty IPA! Good beer

Feb 3, 2009 Bottle. Potent aroma of malts and fruits and spices. Cloudy yellow body, large white head. Flavor is very hoppy, upon a background of slightly sweet fruitiness. Lots of bitterness in the finish. Huge amounts of carbonation give a tingly mouthfeel. A different order of triple, and an enjoyable innovation of the style.

Jan 31, 2009 Draught at Ma Che Siete Venuti a Fà, Roma. September 08. I was stoked to find this on draught. Pours hazy golden with a creamy white head. Nice lacing around the glass. Great aroma of caramel malt, fruit, spices and a splendid floral nose. The flavour is extremely well balanced of malt and fruit, and the alcohol is well hidden. Smooth mouthfeel, very malty and enough bitterness as well, a richly complex Tripel.

Jan 29, 2009 On tap at Paramount Room, Chicago. Hazed golden blonde, almost glowing, thick white foam. Beautiful aroma of flowers, hops, citrus. Nice light citrus fruit, followed by hops followed by light bubblegum/cotton candy sweetness followed by more medium hoppiness. All hiding the alcohol behind it.

Jan 29, 2009 courtesy of Toni Flükiger - hazy golden-blond colour with a bright and firm white foam; solid fruity hoppiness (grapefruit and apple), citrus and esters; medium to full malt body, quite sweet with a late bitterness; long aromatic bitter fruity finish - a very nice beer; refreshing and lively; the missing link between IPA’s and tripels

Pours a hazy orange and strong head that hangs on for the long haul. A great blend of flowery hops and Belgian yeast. Light mouthfeel but you know it’s got a bit of a kick. Very drinkable and I like this beer a lot.

Jan 27, 2009 Slightly hazy golden color that you can’t see through. Thick foamy head that dissipates after a few minutes but clings to the glass. Nose is lemon and grapes with a touch of earthy hops. Sweet malty taste at first followed by sparkling carbonation on the tongue and then a saaz hop bitterness. Finish is a transition from the hops back to the sweet malt.
