Commercial Description:
This style of strong golden ale comes from Belgium and is traditionally brewed by vocational (Trappist) monks. Ours is made the traditional way and brewed with pale 2-row barley malt, wheat malt and flaked wheat for a very pale colour and creamy body. This beer is filtered and is served crystal clear unlike many other wheat beers.

Draught at Volo, January 2009. Golden in a snifter with a small head. Aroma of grapefruit, apple, pear, bubblegum. Thin lacing on the glass. Tastes sweet, yeasty leading to a bitter hop finish.

On tap at Volo , Appearance: good looking ale. Clear golden look with large , snowy , creamy cap placed on top. Presentable lace created. 4+ Aroma: proper , clean rich aroma. Bubble gum wheat softy presented. Mildly aromatic. 7+ Flavor/Palate: Medium full bodied. Bitter edges with softer malty midlle. Soft yeasty hints with touch of fruit. Dry alcohol finishing. Very straightforward, drinkable. Quiet good but lacking complexity of upper class. I missed some secondary depth.

On tap @ Volo. Aroma is malt and fruit, golden, small white head, some lace. Taste is less malt than the nose, apple, almost harsh due to the alcohol hit, ordinary beer. Doesn’t seem to meet the style.

On tap at Volo. Pours a bunch of white foam on medium yellow,The aroma is grapefruit rind indication of hops, geuzy, and malt. The taste, with medium plus mouthfeel, is complex geuzy with malt and yeast. Satisfies and drinkable. A pint seemed like not enough.

On tap at the brew pub. Clear copperish yellow, really nice creamy white head. Nice aroma - lots of alcohol, lots of yeast. Taste in right on style for a Tripel. Lots of alcohol, lots of yeast, nice almost sweet finish. This is not quite as good as say a Dieu De Ciel interpretation of the style, but man, Mill St. nailed it. I do not even know of an Ontario brewer brave enough to try this let alone nail it. Well done Mill St!
