Strong Ale '03. Oh, I wanted to love this beer but couldn't quite pull the trigger. Straw yellow with yeatsy floral aroma on which sat a thin head. Sweet finish.

Light orange color. Small head. Aroma is orange, grape and other fruits. A medium bodied triple. Malts and yeasts were mild for a triple, but it had a nice estery fruity thing going on. Very smooth taste. A nice light and refreshing ale. Mouthfeel are full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

clear and golden with a white head...grapey hop aroma (where's the yeast, mr. trippel?)..Very white grapey aroma..spicy, almost yeasty flavor profile..almost like a blend of a CA pale ale & and a belgian blonde ale..clean, crisp, with a tad of white wine tartness...not as yeasty as a trippel usually is.

Had on tap at San Diego Strong Ale Festival at Pizza Port, Carlsbad on December 6, 2003
This was my first beer of the day and I just decided to try it because it was hand written on the list of beers, a late addition. The tripel poured with an amber color and no head or lacing. The aroma was weak, but could definitely smell some malts. The taste was good, a pleasant surprise with a malty, sweet flavoring, easy to drink, no real aftertaste. A watery complexity, but nothing that knocked my socks off. A fine entry for this new brewery.
