Poured a hazy blonde-golden body with a tiny whitish head. Mildly tart with hints of oak tannins. Finished crisp and slightly sweet. Captivating and quaffable.

Draft at the brewpub (as Belgian Style Tripel Ale). Sweetish Belgian spice aroma. Bright golden color with a white head. Medium body with very smooth carbonation. Sweet caramel, low impact spice, touch of vanilla, perhaps floral or grassy hop. Leaves the mouth tingling. Should be a sipper.

draft @ brew pub - cloudy gold with white head; citrus, spice and malt aroma mix; strong yeast flavors are bitter and mixed with spices; a little uneven and unpleasant aftertaste (3.3 overall)

10/15/09 Update: draft @ brewery - soft, straw gold; super dank nose of fruit, wheat (of which Ron says the beer has none), yeast and oak; lots of fruity sweetness and finish is not very dry; enjoyed it much more this time around

Draft at Bailey’s Taproom, Portland. A hazy golden beer with a thick beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of spices, wheat, and oranges. The flavor is very sweet - a bit too much for my liking, with notes of spices, yeast, oranges, and peaches, leading to a dry wheaty finish. A bit too much for me.

PIB... Golden color with a thick, fizzy, white head. Strong presence of apples and other fruits. The beer also contains lasting malt, and a bit of a honey aftertaste. The beer was pretty yeasty as a whole.

Sampled on tap at the brewery during ABA Beer Tour ’07. Pours a hazy golden pale blonde brew with a fast dissolving white head that leaves behind a white ring. Aroma of banana esters, light bready malt with a touch of grassy hops. Taste is smooth, creamy and sweet with fruity banana and citrus flavors. Medium body with no carbonation. Finish is somewhat syrupy, sweet with a slight mellon aftertaste. Almost a fruit beer character than a tripel. Very tastey though.

Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a soft white head. Not as dry as most tripels and lacked a bit of carbonation. Very fruity start with a big yeast estery finish. Hints of citrus and a light grassy hop finish. The spices and crisp finish were very refreshing.
