Jun 7, 2008 Hazy orange pour with a thin white head. Aroma is heavy sweet malts. Flavor is up front sweet malt and cream with cherry, clove, and some orange peel. Finishes on the sweeter side. Bitterness peaks at a 2. I hit the ABV spot on with my guess.

Jun 5, 2008 Pours cloudy, pale gold, with a quarter-inch head of white. Retention is short and a partial skim coat is left shortly thereafter.
A few dots of lacework, but quite lacking for a Triple.
Aromatics are yeasty, zesty, and phenolic. Plenty of earthy clove, bannana, bubblegum, and honey. Alcohol is evident.
Thin to medium mouthfeel, soft and creamy. An interesting texture for a triple, lacking some of the classic crispness.
Doughy, yeasty, and earthy on the pallet. Loads of bannana, cloves, and yeast-dusted apples. Bitterness is low, as is all other hopping. Plenty of alcoholic bite. Definately out of the standard 8-9% range for Triples. This one drinks a bit boozy, but no heat.
Finishes with lingering bubblegum, bannana, alcohol, and yeasty honey.
An interesting take on a the style, and definately stronger than most.

May 29, 2008 It pours a hazey orange colour, big fluffy white head, decidious fruits and very sweet. Banannas are definately prevalent and oranges or coriander, full of wheat and a little malty as well.

May 29, 2008 Aroma is fruity and malty with a slight nutty character to it. Color is cloudy dark orange-brown, kind of like apple cider. Very little white head. Flavor starts out sweet fruit with a slight bit of tartness to it, and through the finish the fruit tartness becomes more apparent. As it warms, the alcohol becomes more forward in the finish. Medium bodied and crisp. Not a bad Trippel ale but if I want the real deal I’ll shell out a couple more bucks for it.
