Jan 27, 2009 Excellent beer. "IPA" is a bit of a stretch but it is hoppy for a tripel. Hazy golden color with white foamy head. The hops plus Belgian yeast and sweet pale malt work well together. Nice medium body and dry finish. The tripel/IPA combo I’d like to see more Belgian brewers attempt.

Jan 27, 2009 750 ml bottle. This one was a gusher. Light yellow with tons of floaties. A good amount of lacing. Large, fluffy white head. Flavor is of grassy hops. Dry finish with some pepper.

Jan 24, 2009 750 in weizen glass. Fully chilled bottle foamed over gently upon opening. Cloudy pale with immense, pillowy, lasting head. Easily the most chunky, turbid commercial, *or homebrewed*, beer I’ve come across with lots of floaty bits. Grass, bubblegum, pepper, and grape nose. Flavor is of a nicely balanced tripel with some more resin on the finish, which plays off the sweetness well. This is a great beer, but definitely not for the easily off-put.

Jan 19, 2009 Bottle. Poured a hazy pale with a tall frothy head that had some lasting and thick lace. Nice floral and citrus aromas with a malt backing. The flavor was much like iced tea; some spices, caramel, and a light fruit and hop background. Medium body and dry, with a light bitter aftertaste.

Jan 16, 2009 On-tap at Sacramento Brewing Company this Belgin IPA Tripel is not what you would expect! Hops are pronounced and definately European.
Malty, with a hint of sweetness in the background the hops dominate. Clear dark amber in appearance with a lingering creamy head and clean mouth feel. Although some Christmas tree is apparent, those who appreciate the hops will enjoy this impor.

Jan 12, 2009 Very impressed that they actually pulled this one off. Great floral aroma with the typical delicate fruit and esters of a tripel. Sweet flavor with a little spiciness, and a dry grassy finish.

Jan 12, 2009 750 ml. bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with a large rocky white head that clings to the glass. Pleasantly surprising mild aroma of floral hops, some belgian spiciness, fresh fruit and honey. Slightly sweet flavor, pine and pear, peppery and yeasty in the finish. Slight lingering bitterness. Medium bodied and a little too much carbonation for my liking.

Jan 9, 2009 Pours a pale, and hazy yellow. A thick cloudy white head. Maybe the best beer ive ever smelled with a large floral aroma with a candy sweet touch, sour fruits. Flavor is much the same with an alcohol touch coming through. The marriage of the IPA and tripel turn out to be very well balanced. Not to much bitterness of an IPA, but not the complexity of a true belgian tripel, which makes it all that much more easier to enjoy. A work of art to say the least.
