Commercial Description:
We started with a Trappist Triple yeast culture and carefully blended Belgian pale barley malt with traditional malted wheat and oats to produce a delectable golden ale. This special brew is aged 12 weeks creating a fruity nad refined taste with a huge bouqet, light body, and a very smooth, non-bitter finish. Best served at 55 degrees F.

16oz bottle. Orange-tan color with a light haze in it. Quite sweet and sugary, with some orange candy flavor. Smooth and drinkable, void of harsh alcohol notes. Creamy. Certainly is better at 55 degrees as advertised. A pleasant surprise.

Tallahassee, Fl. Liquor Loft. - stubby 16 oz bottle. Pours a nice medium golden with an initial tight white head which dissipates quickly. Aroma is very sweet and maple-syrup like with hints of honeysuckle. Flavor has a slight alcohol burn to it with some sweet candied sugar notes to round it out. Faint hints of fruit apricots with some woody notes as well. Turns just a tad cloying near the end. Decently sticky mouthfeel.

Sampled on tap at the sprecher tour (glendale, wi). Pours a hazy lively golden orange with minimal white head and minimal lacing. Aromas are banana esters, light belgian yeast spice, some light other fruit sweetness. Initial is light bodied, fruity and light spicy yeast. Apple and banana, belgian yeast and sugar, light smoothness that makes the sweetness plesant. Pretty good. Had some life.

Pours a hazy gold orange with a medium white head that fizzles away into a generous lace. Aroma contains a lot of yeast, and a little floral honey. Flavor is also yeast driven, also orange peel and coriander. Medium bodied, slightly syrupy though not from sweetness, leaning towards dry.

Bottled in March 08, maybe, but I could be misinterpreting. Slightly turbid golden orange, the head fizzes away. Light-to-medium body, fairly fizzy. This isn’t as subtle or complex as most triples. Lots of apricot, some yeastiness, and a bit too sweet. I could slurp this in the summer despite the high ABV. An above average fruit beer, a below average tripel.

As a novice to tasting Belgian or Belgian-style Abbey Triples, I thought this was O.K. I t reminded me of some of the true Belgian Triple Abbeys characters, but was not quite there. I plan to come back to this review as I learn more about what to look for in more complex styles.

Bottle. Pours golden orange with thin off-white head. The aroma is candyish banana, some grain, yeast, and a very out-of-place hint of caramel. The flavor is cane sugar, some fruit (banana, apricot), a tobacco-ish toastiness, and a sweet finish with a little bit of alcohol. Not bad per se, but off style and ungraceful.
