Feb 14, 2008 Updated: Feb 25, 200812 oz bottle at Volo - poured an opaque reddish orange with an off-white head. Beautiful fresh floral aroma filled with rosehip, sour cherry and lemon. Flavour quite nice, mainly sweet with some tartness bringing up the rear and a small dose of hops. This is a very unique "tripel", and is certainly one of the more interesting beers I’ve had. Very well-crafted. I look forward to trying more of the Hair of the Dog brews.

Feb 14, 2008 Poured hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma of fruit and candy. Over the top malt flavor. Too sweet for me. Lots of candy.

Feb 9, 2008 12oz bottle, Batch #40. Pours a brown/red color with a thin, somewhat fizzy head that fades pretty quick. Smells like beets and earthiness. Tastes like beets as well, alot like beets. A little bit of a weird floweriness as well. Somewhat thick mouthfeel, good carbonation. If you like beets this beer is great, if not, not so good.

Jan 14, 2008 12 oz bottle batch 38 from Santa (crizay). Aroma is thick and sticky with plenty of cane sugar syrup, melon sweetness, charred caramel. Malt overshadows the yeast component. Pours a foul looking muddy, chunky dark orange/brown. Ugh. Looks like tepid swampwater. Thankfully, it does not taste like pond. Chocolate yeast. Loads of bread dough and crust. Nutty pistachio. Slightly funky and dirty. Lively carbonation with a rather alcoholic finish.

Jan 11, 2008 Definitely a fruity aroma and character. Well made triple hides it strong alcohol content well. You’ll enjoy this one.

Jan 4, 2008 Sampled blind at "Better Know a Style: Abbey Tripel". Bottle from early 2000. Pours a brown amber red with no head. Aged malts in the nose. Oxidized, toffee, sweet. Malt flavors very grapey/cherry and winey. Tar, toffee, and a good dose of oxidation. Interesting beer, but I’m one who doesn’t mind oxidization as much as others.
