Jan 15, 2009 Bottle shared by emacgee. Thanks Ethan! Pours golden with a small white lace that lasts. Nose is sweet and spicey with some citrus and a funky belgian yeast (similar to De Dolle as durhambeer points out). Flavor is sweet and fruity, some alcohol is present and the finish is pretty dry. Complex and unique.

Jan 14, 2009 Bottle shared by emacgee. Golden orange pour with grayish tint. Lots of chunklets in the body. Scuppernong and wild yeast on the nose. Reminded me of some De Dolle wackiness. Musty and boozy. Some brown sugar... more like honey, I think? Orange peel. This is a big, big tripel.

Jan 13, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Kinda fruity aroma, apples, apricots. Not overwhelming though. Flavor is about the same. Rated this one low, but tripels have never been my thing.

Jan 12, 2009 Pours a wonderfully hazy bronze-ish color with the lovely "bottle conditioned" appearance I come to expect in good beers. Smells like recently rotted fruit. Strange how that’s actually appealing in a beer. Taste includes some of that fruit, with the spices making an appearance as well. Absoutely great. I’m starting to really like de struise. If it weren’t for the alcohol, which is amazingly well hidden, I’d like to drink a few of these in succession.
Very impressive, I would say.

Jan 11, 2009 Bottle from West Lakeview. Pours an attractive golden color, though I must have stirred up the yeast cuz there’s tons of floaties. Nice foam head. Nose is super yeasty and bready, pleasant floral hoppy notes and then some very nice fruitiness. Really big mouthfeel, very spicy and the floral/fruity notes extend to the taste as well. Some bitter finish from the hops, tons of alcohol. Not my favorite tripel, but definitely worth trying. Will have to lay one of these down as well... Nice

Jan 10, 2009 On tap at Capone’s. Pours a slightly cloudy orange with a small orange head. Aroma of apricot, fig, melon, watermelon, but especially pear. Flavor is the same, quite sweet with lots of fruits and spices too. An interesting and tasty tripel.
