Oct 13, 2007 Draft at McGrath’s in Harrisburg. Mostly clear amber and ruby orange color with some shades of color that are close to pink. Sweet candy sugar nose, notes of red apple skins and white grapes. Tingly and effervescent on the tongue, sharp with medium to heavy sweetness, but just under the level of cloying. Light body, with a mild spice flavor, clean all around, low yeast presence. I’m not so big on tripels these days, but this one is tasty enough, with more of a fruit cocktail hop flavor than most, but I would like to see some more dryness and less sweetness. Finishes with a pineapple and white grape note.

Oct 4, 2007 I’m sure many people are going to put this down because of the story behind it, but i think its an outstanding beer. It is exactly what it is supposed to taste like: Mad Elf without honey and cherries and is just as great as its larger counter part

Sep 30, 2007 Draft at Monks: Pours a dark orangish color, aroma of bananas, somewhat fruity taste but not as much flavor as I was expecting, it’s pretty nice but not spectacular.

Sep 26, 2007 On tap at Monk’s. Clear dark orange color with a medium head. Tasted bananas, cloves, brown sugar and dark fruit. Wow, very tasty and fruity; actually, it stands up on it’s own against the Mad Elf. Toffee sweet finish. Fine brew.

Sep 22, 2007 Tap at Pizzeria Paradiso. Reddish amber pour; no foam. Initially very quiet aroma of bubblegum, pear, and banana. With warmth, dark hints of cardamom and cinnamon, developing a bit of burnt honey crust. Taste shows more banana and sweet gum, crisp red apples, and an awesome, subtle coating of dark candy sugar, like plum. Medicinal sentiment slowly intensifies but doesn’t overpower. There’s a burn of leafy spice before the finish, very dark, almost anise. Dry fruit skin finish. Medium bodied, with reserved carbonation. The herbal qualities are very pleasant in this surprising, well-rounded example.

Sep 17, 2007 Draught at McGrath’s. Good malty tang and light fruity hops. Hefty sugary aroma with a bit of yeasty esters. Copper amber clear with little head Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Starts sweet with fruity malt and candi sugar. Light honey notes (yet I know there isn’t any honey) before mild bittering hoppy finish. Smooth with a medium sweet tang in the after.
