prickly white pepper nose, zesty carbonation and citrus-juice acidity are doused with an annoyingly heavy amount of juniper, anise and coriander spices, and a grocery-store white sugar granular flavor and texture only makes matters worse. both the spice and sugar level could benefit from more care, while the zesty carbonation and citrus quality should be allowed to drive this beer more. interesting but disappointing.

Oct 10, 2009 Tap at Vine Street - I found this one overly sweet, but perhaps this is because I had it right after a rather dry beer - still, this did not surprise me; this is an American-made tripel after all - a lot of phenols (bubblegum, banana, etc.) and esters from the yeast, without any counterpoint (bitterness, please) makes this a rather one-dimensional tripel - ends with some clove, and a light acidity finally emerges, but a bit too late - eh, not too bad I guess.
