Apr 13, 2007 Updated: Sep 9, 2008re rate. Had this out of a bottle. Much improved from the bad glass I had off the tap a year back. Very nicely balanced, lots of belgian fruitiness, some clove and spice, sweet with candi sugar. Very drinkable and well put together.

Mar 29, 2007 Bottle. Pours hazy straw color, with a decent sized off white head. Aroma is yeast, citrus, banana. Flavor is sourdough, lemon, pale malts, some spice. Palate is medium bodied, mildly carbonated, semi-sweet finish. Not very good for a tripel. Lacks carbonation, too sweet, sour notes, one of my least favorite from DH.

Mar 23, 2007 Courtesy SoLan. Pours a cloudy yeasty gold, with a minimal white head. Doesnt smell like a usual triple. Kind of grainy and yeasty. Some citrus fruit. The taste is more triple-esque. That patented Belgian candy sugar, sweet malts, and soem butterscotch. Kind of tastes like an American triple. Maybe a tad too sweet, if they mellowed it out more, it would be better.

Mar 23, 2007 Aroma is bread, fruit, and some alcohol. Taste is much the same, very malty overall, with maybe some oatmeal added. Though the alcohol is evident on the nose, I can’t taste it at all which is a plus. Could use a bit more carbonation perhaps. First I’ve had of this style, and overall it’s not bad.

Mar 9, 2007 12 oz bottle. Poured a nice golden orange color with a small white head. It didnt seem very carbonated overall which is odd for a belgian style. Aroma seemed to be a light citrus with banana and some spiciness maybe cloves. Flavor was very nice as well. Starting off tasting like it was a little too full bodied for a tripel but it lightened up a little as it warmed. A little alcohol came through but i dont know really understand the low ratings, I am not a huge fan of tripel and i though it was good.

Feb 26, 2007 Poured a yellow color just darker than I would call a white. Hazy beer with a small off white head. Smells like sour bread and maybe some oats. Taste is suprising. A lot more sour than I would have expected. Slight lemon flavor. It leaves a slight bitter coating on the tongue. I am not a huge fan of Belgian styles and this one hasn’t given me anything that would change my mind.

Feb 24, 2007 Yeast, and light lemon scents in the aroma--along with some bread. Golden in color with an off-white head. Full palate for a tripel. Sweet malt flavors with some yeast and a very light citrus presence. Not bad for a tripel.
