Pours a bright hazy rich golden color with a lasting white head. Smell is yeasty, hoppy, floray, and dusty. Taste is more hoppy than expected, a bit dry and dusty, and very IPA like, with light citrusy hoppy flavor. Medium bodied. Good stuff, that I’d like to give another try. markwise (1175), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 2, 2008 Got it in a bottle from World of Beer in Westchase. This beer pours a hazy yellow color with a lot of particles in the beer. It has a bready/ citrusy/ spicy aroma with a thick mouthfeel. It laces the glass right up after hitting you with sour orange bite from start through finish. Good beer, definitely unique. slimchill (776), Austin, Texas, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 2, 2008 Bottle. Beautiful pour. Huge frothy white head sits atop a completely clear golden body. Nose and flavor are both dominated by caramel and hoppy citrus notes. Thick and smooth palate. Light alcohol in the finish.
Aged one year, the caramel notes fade and the sweetness turns to a more bright fruitiness. Well-worth aging. RomanW70 (297), Providence, Rhode Island, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 31, 2008 200th rating. Bottle exploded. Lost 1/3 of beer. Pours cloudy gold with a substantial white head. Bready byeasty aroma with strong notes of citrus and spice. taqste has initial components of grass and citrus, but spicy hops take over and lead to a peppery, bitter finish. Definitely an impressive beer. Wish it didn’t spill over. muenster (339), Sevierville, Tennessee, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a medium sized white head. Aroma is quite hoppy, mostly flowery and peppery, with lots of sweet spicy notes as well. Flavor is quite hoppy as well. The hops definitely dominate over the tripel qualities, which are present, especially in the dry finish. The 9% is completely hidden. OFlan (14), USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 28, 2008 Wonderful beer. The flavor is that of a nice, tangy belgian abbey type fruitiness that is blended with a massive amount of noble and american hops. This provides a very floral beer, with a full yeast presence and a nice bitterness and tang to it as well. Very complex, very unique.
The one thing absolutely blew me away with this beer was the creamy head. This head was like pure whip cream. WHen you took a sip and shaped to your mouth. When the beer was gone, the head was still a lovely puff of creaminess at the bottom of the glass. Delicious and adds a great texture to the beer overall. Rciesla (3565), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy orange yellow body with a big head. Aroma is hoppy citrus, banana, coconut. Starts sweet but then is dominated by hoppiness and a big etoh bite at the end. overly hoppy, i dont see the hype here. SchwillyWilly (3), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA does not count | 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 26, 2008 Great balance between the hoppy IPA and Belgian trippel flavors. Loved this beer. Very unique.
