phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA May 12, 2009 A nice beer from the Dane, sampled over at the Hilldale location. Pours a cloudy yellow colour with a big fluffy white head. Aroma is really nice, orange peel, citrus fruits and wheat. Taste is soft and spicey, very creamy, lots of carbonation and a generous of amount of fruity nuances. A really impressive beer from these guys. Review no. 1700! :)" noncaloric (602), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Mar 1, 2009 Updated: Mar 8, 2009On tap as "Ride the Dragon" Tripel. Pours a hazy gold, a compact white head still leaves a lot of streaky lace. Only a faint yeastiness on the nose. Flavor nicely combines yeasty flavors with the sweetness of honey and apricot nectar, a bit of pineapple on the aftertaste. Somewhat more than medium bodied, a bit peppery and prickly on the palate. Gurst (338), Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA May 7, 2007 Brew pub tripel turned out pretty good. Fruity, syrupy, faitn alcohol. A very drinkable tripel. JPDIPSO (4865), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA Nov 24, 2006 One of the better domestic triples I have had in some time. LOts of light fruit with just a hint of floral hops and pale malt. Touches of apple, apricot honeysuckle and candi in the flavors. Backdrop of cloves and wheat. Fairly dry in the finish with just a hint of sweet pale malt. Quite nice. jewedekind (450), Middleton, Wisconsin, USA Nov 16, 2006 A feal fruit salad. Pours a hazy peach colored beer with a nice nose of candied apricots. Lots of plum, peaches, apricots and pear - lots of pear. Nice long-lasting head, give style points. Long lasting fruit finish, but lacks some body and complexity. Would age well in oak - but this is a brewpub, so I’ll give it a 16. Ughsmash (3981), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA May 6, 2005 Updated: May 10, 2005Poured an almost clear golden yellow, with decent-staying creamy head. Aroma was fruity (namely apples and dates), with some alcohol present. Mouthfeel was carbonated almost to the point of being tingly, and the taste was light, fruity, and hoppy. Malt flavor was not distinct, but added bulk to the beer’s body. This was almost champagne-like, and left a nice fruity aftertaste. badgerben (3586), Blaine, Minnesota, USA Apr 18, 2005 Hazy yellow color with no head. Floral aroma with a substantial alcohol content. Very spicy grass taste with some apple present too. Bitter and pucker inducing. Alcohol plays a major part here. It seemed out of balance to me. cb (809), Wheat Ridge, Colorado, USA Mar 10, 2003 Apple/pear/alcohol aroma, tastes very alcoholic, perhaps more than the ABV (if thats possible). A beautiful light cider color, a touch harsh tasting but aroma represents the flavor fairly well.
