22oz. bottle, obtained at the brewery. Sweet, malty aroma, fruity and full of yeast character, with suggestions of peach, citrus, pear, banana, honey, clove and dough. Deep golden color, lightly hazy, with a lasting, slight head. Flavor is strongly fruity and sweet, but with a complimentary dosage of spice and tartness that helps to avoid the most common plague of American interpretations of Abbey-style ales. Shows a mild bitterness, some bubblegum and an and alcoholic presence towards the finish, which is otherwise warming, estery, peppery, grassy and sharp. Very gently acidic and well-carbonated palate, body is fairly full. Solid Tripel.

Dec 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy pale orange color. Flavor is bready malts, yeast profile is slightly sour. Finish is slightly citric and bitter. Light bodied, alcohol is well hidden. Decent enough but not amazing for a tripel. Overall OK, it’s hard to duplicate trappist made Belgian beers.

Dec 13, 2009 Pours a hazy lemon yellow with thick white head. Aroma is very grassy with yeast coming through, bread aromas and sugars. Flavor is largely candi sugar and sweet bread flavor. Body is creamy with quite a bit of carbonation. It’s good but nothing particularly special about it.

Dec 9, 2009 Bottle … Hazy yellow ale with a small, tight, white head. Excellent retention. The bouquet is of juicy apricot, banana and clove. Full-bodied with lively carbonation. Fruity and sweet, but decently balanced by moderate acidity and mild bitterness. Bittersweet, lightly acidic, minerally finish.

Dec 5, 2009 Has a rich, wheaty, yeasty aroma that is quite strong. Appearance is a rather uninspiring clear yellow with an average and not too persistent head. Flavor, fortunately, more than makes up for the looks - it is strong, mouth-filling, yeasty, slightly fruity, slightly sweet, quite refreshing, but with a hint of hop bitterness and a nice, ragged bite. Texture is fizzy, lively and ragged, fairly dancing on the tongue and down the pipes. Good one!

Dec 3, 2009 Bottle.
Pours a decent yellow with a lively body but density is lacking. Nice, thick head of white sits atop and stays for awhile, leaving a slowly appearing latticework of lacing around the glass. Aroma is raisin bread and vegetable, with a bit of barnyard lemon in the background. Flavor is striking yeasty bread and butter, with bits of grape and raisin syrup. Light finish of prune and coriander. Average mouthfeel. Good beer, but it doesn’t stand out.

Nov 30, 2009 Pours a slightly hazy orange golden with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of sweet light caramel malt with a touch of orange citrus and Belgian yeasty esters. Starts with decent fullness and some floral grassy hop bitterness along with a slightly syrupy pale maltiness before a drier, slightly more bitter semi-dry finish. Pretty true to style, but could use more complexity.
