Mar 7, 2009 Nice golden color,small white head that faded quickly leaving nothing behind again.Malty floaral aroma with some hints of citrus and hops.The flavor was quite good with a mild malty sweet side in the beginning then a change to a hoppy taste in the middle and then here comes the alcohol.The alcohol comes in kind of strong in the end with a nice burn but hardly disguised in anyway.It then finishes up with some mild hop bitterness.Overall it starts out quite smooth and finishes up kind of harsh with the way the alcohol and hops come on so clummsily.Not a brew i care to engage with again but it does have a good start.

Mar 5, 2009 Bottle. Alcohol and big pils malt nose with some light vanilla and yeast. Golden pour with a quick-scattering beige head, relatively noisy going. Crisp, sharp attack, big alcohol which is surprisingly well--integrated (warms the cheeks and throat tenderly but doesn’t burn or sting). Some light fruit but otherwise this is all malt and alcohol, with only a light hop/yeast prick in the finish. Dryish with a medium-full body. I liked drinking this more than the rating implies, but I’m not going after it again.

Mar 2, 2009 So so. Not much aroma, cold or warm. Pour is amber with little head. Flavor is OK. Warming alcohol on the throat gives it a bit of a bite. Lots of other better examples.

Feb 23, 2009 Bottle (12oz). Pours a cloudy yellow-gold with tons of tiny sediment and a small diminishing frothy white head. Aroma, which is a bit mild for a Tripel, is sugary sweet, fruity and yeasty along with a hint of floral hops and some alcohol -- it’s not bad, just mild. Flavour starts sugary sweet and alcoholic -- which I’m not crazy about -- followed by fruit and some light hops in the finish. Needs more carbonation. Average bodied. Just O.K.
