Just recieved it today.Nice golden amber color,small white foamy head that faded quickly.Appears to be very carbonated.Very sweet aroma,malty some wheat,spicy and fruity,almost a bubble gum like aroma juicy fruit comes to mind.The taste was spicy,bubble gum as above,alcohol comes through in the beginning but fades quickly to a some what spicy fruity flavor,there is also a slight ho presence mainly detected in the back of the pallate and after taste as a mild bitterness.The after taste is pretty decent orange fruity taste with a nice spice content and the mild hop bitterness.the feel is kind of low on the medium scale IMO.very nice and very drinkable.I have to agrre with the portlanddrunk that this is by far one of there better brews,considering a lot of let downs on there other styles.

Apr 25, 2008 Pour is a dark orange with a small white head. Aroma is some spice and fruityness along with some sugar. Flavor is a bit off with some candi sugar again and a spice but finishes with a stoung bitterness that leaves a sourness on the tounge. Maybe a bad bottle but this is not an above par triple. Alcohol is not a problem.

Feb 16, 2008 Thanks to Tom at Pyramid for breaking this one out. From a 22-oz. bottle--Poured a golden-straw-copper clear body with a small, rocky head. Yeasty, musty nose. Vinous, cidery flavor. Hints of apples, pears, and white wine. This beer survived four years at room temperature quite well. I would like to try another. Alcohol well hidden. Carbonation retained nicely. Quite good.

Aug 25, 2006 (Bottle) Pours a lightly cloudy orange body with a small off-white head. Aroma of horse blanket, mustiness, and fruitiness. Flavor of cherries, berries, caramel and grapefruit with a bit of a bite in the finish.

Jul 23, 2006 At first all I got for the nose was a snootful of soapy yeat, but as the head broke up, which it did rapidly, there was some sweet malt, cherries, and berries. Nice hazy amber body. The flavor is a fruity sweet malt, a touch of banana now added, and just a hint of its hefty abv. It has a sweet fruity finish with a low alcohol burn. Not bad.<br /><br /><font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=4889><u>Binny’s Beverage Depot, Glen Ellyn, IL</u></a><font size=-1><br />

Feb 7, 2006 Not too much apparent in smell or appearence, the 9.3% isn’t really noticeable either. Pretty smooth, but also not that flavorful. I think this is a 2003 bottle. While not at the top of the tripel style, it’s pretty good.
