grebs (69), Ohio, USA Aug 11, 2009 An intensely flavorful, complex beer. The flavor is intensely varied and you’ll note different flavors as you continue drinking and as it warms. Alcohol becomes more prevalent near the end of the glass. Otherwise, the typical flavors you’d expect are here: spice, clove, some citrus notes. Also some darker fruit notes near the end. A very interesting Canadian tripel. drowland (1337), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Aug 11, 2009 Updated: Sep 13, 2009A simply fantastic beer... have had it many times and it is absolutely one of my favorite beers. I would easily place it in my top 10. RPKLove (6), Astoria, New York, USA does not count Aug 9, 2009 Currently my favorite beer on the planet. Flavorful enough to make you forget the high alcohol volume and keep you drinking till the room starts spinning. decimator (41), Ontario, Canada Aug 8, 2009 Updated: Sep 19, 2009750ml bottle poured into a pint glass. Has a hazy yellow-orange color with a head with big bubbles that sticks around for a few minutes. Lots going on in the aroma but its surprisingly not overpowering: Spices, bananas, citrus, yeast and malty sweetness. So many different flavors hitting the tongue all at once its hard to distinguish them all: Sweet, malty, spicy, fruity sourness with a bit of an alcohol bite at the end. Has good carbonation and lots of malty creaminess to it. The complex flavors do a good job hiding the 9% ABV. By the time I’m done the bottle I’ll be felling it. First time I had one a few months ago, when I was starting to widen my tastes in beer, I was thrown off by the taste so much that I couldn’t finish it. Never had I tasted a beer so complex before. After trying it a few more times I’ve learn to appreciate this brew quite a bit. Be warned, this is not a gateway beer for those new to craft. amckee (11), Plano, Texas, USA Aug 8, 2009 This was a surprisingly wonderful beer. The beer has a cloudy orange color and a citrus smell. It is sweet, but not overly so. It’s so light and flavorful that you’d hardly believe it has such a high alcohol content. locust (10), Brampton, Ontario, Canada Aug 8, 2009 Beautiful cloudy orange beer that smells like citrus and spice... Tastes more like spice than fruit and has some bite from the high ABV.. An amazing beer that would not have you believe its as strong as it is dkingsella (83), Portland, Oregon, USA Aug 7, 2009 Nice Tripel. Pours a hazy golden-orange with nice frothy white head. Typical of the style with plenty of spice, fruit and yeast in both the nose and flavor. Good mouthfeel. Very good Tripel. bulldogops (153), Alberta, Canada Aug 3, 2009 Updated: Aug 7, 2009Merci a Janvier de m’offrir cette biere excellente. Bottle. 9%. Anglophones and francophones can unite in this glorious tasting beer. Pours a cloudy orange colour, with a frothy white foam. Aroma is yeasty, spiced with coriander, light citrus. Taste is absolutely superb. Delicious.
