Sweet aroma... with a flavor of the same... not boring like some Triple’s... hints of honey and grape with warming alcohol power that is well balanced tmoreau (524), Lombard, Illinois, USA Oct 2, 2009 Sampled at a Mead, Cider, and Beer Tasting by Binny’s Beverage Depot in Glen Ellyn, IL. Poured to my wine/sampler glass a hazy, orangy straw color with a white, foamy head and clingy, web-like lacing. The aroma was light yeast, sweet white wine, apple and pear. The flavor added some smooth malt, sweetness, lurking alcohol warmth, lively carbonation, prickly mouthfeel and a dry finish. Very nice ROGUE (612), Newark, Delaware, USA Sep 2, 2009 330ml bottle. Pours a clear golden with a medium white head that sticks around and some lacing. Aroma is a nice apricot and spice, along with floral hops and some alcohol. Taste is citrus and peach over a light malt with a mouth puckering bitter and dry finish. Alcohol is present in the finish. Crisp and smooth, medium body, with medium carbonation. Finwe (56), Grankulla, Finland Aug 28, 2009 330 ml bottle @ Kaisla, Helsinki. Hazy golden to amber colour with creamy white head. Sweet scent consisting of hints of flowers and fruits.
