Sep 10, 2009 Bottle that was leftover at BCTC and went unclaimed, so I rescued it and brought it home with me, where it was to reside in the fridge for the past month and a bit. Pours a hazy browned apricot color with a diminishing off white medium sized head. Slightly oxidized grain, nice plum and dark fruit. Almost medium mouthfeel, light bruised fruit flavors. Finishes with a bit more old fruit and a touch of alcohol. Not bad.

Sep 2, 2009 12oz. Bottle: Aroma of Belgian yeast, fruit, slight spices, clove, pale malts, slight wheat, and slight coriander. Poured amber/dark gold/slight brown in color with a small, dense, white head that diminished but lasted throughout. Cloudy. Slightly sparkling. Full of small, medium, and large-sized particles throughout. Flavor is slightly sweet and slightly bitter. Tastes of yeast, spices, slight banana, slight pale malts, light cloves, and some pollen. Medium body. Thin dry texture. Average carbonation. Lightly sweet, yeast, slight spice, and slight pale malt finish is dry. 8.5%ABV is totally hidden.

Aug 28, 2009 Bottle: Pours a murky amber color with no head. Nose has notes of candied sugar, clove, banana chips and some herbal characteristics, especially mint. Medium bodied...flavor starts slightly sweet with some rock candy tones which gives way to a very dry, earthy and herbal finish. I’m quite fond of this brew.

Aug 27, 2009 Amber pour. Hazy with a thin head. There is a bit of clove and some other light spiciness. A kiss of mint as well. Fairly watery palate unfortunately. A touch of grainy, lightly toasted malts on the back along with a bit of soft sweetness.

Aug 27, 2009 12 oz bottle from Capones. Poured an unimpressive hazy orange body with just the slightest touch of bright white head. Aroma had a lot going on but the overall tone was tropical fruit, to a lesser extent yeast, grains, honey, candi sugar. Medium bodied with soft carbonation and a very dry finish. Flavor is more grainy then fruity but both aspects are nicely complimented by a good dose of yeast. Very solid beer.

Aug 18, 2009 Bottle: Hazy deep golden orange with an off white bubbly head. Sweet aroma- some graham cracker, honey, mild prune and vanilla. Soft mouth feel. Sugary flavor, yet decently carbonated. Lots of residual sugar with flavors of honey, vanilla, graham cracker and some vague restrained herbal character on the back. Another under attenuated American interpretation of a Tripel. Eh.

Aug 18, 2009 Muddy orange brown color with a small head. Aroma is sweet and earthy with some citrus, malts and caramel. Flavor is nice and very sweet, more age maybe. Not bad though.
