May 7, 2008 Opaque orange-yellow, large two-finger small bubble head that lasts considerably. Nice nose: lots of spice in clove and pepper, some alcohol, slightly floral and lemon - prototypical tripel aroma taken to a nice high octave. Spicy yeast is most noticeable characteristic in the taste, with clove and some lemon and grassy, floral tones. End-palate is off-puttingly alcoholic to the point of fusel-like notes, also some spiciness from the alcohol...but all alcohol in the finish. Dry, spicy, grassy aftertaste. High carbonation but maintains very nice, thick mouthfeel.

May 5, 2008 Pours a cloudy yellowish brown color with a nice creamy medium sized white head. Nose is apple pie, spice, sugar, clove, and dark fruits. Taste is spicy and satly, somewhat like a tripel but more drinkable. Nice warming finish. High carbonation. Pretty good.

May 5, 2008 Pours with a big, creamy white head that leaves lots of lacing and has good retention. It covers a hazy golden-brown body. Aroma is rich in spicey hops, clove, raisins, mandrin oranges, and plenty of yeast. Spicey Belgian hop taste with quite a lot of yeast in the finish and aftertaste. Beer-pagne levels of carbonation.

Apr 27, 2008 0.33 l bottle. Hazy golden color with thick creamy head. Perfumed nose with maltiness, herbal hops, vanilla and orange. Bittersweet flavor with herbal hops, grapefruit, lemon, yeast, some sharp alcohol and firm malt backbone. Fairly hoppy towards finish. Pleasant and satisfying although alcohol sharpness disturbs a bit.

Apr 22, 2008 Aroma not of grapes, but of grape juice. Dark apricot, amazing white head.. Tiny bubbles. Dark fruit, hops, banana notes lingering bitterness on my palate. Warming alcohol present. Good but not my favorite Belgian IPA.

Apr 21, 2008 I loved this beer, I can’t say enough about it, definitely my new favorite belgian beer for sure. the color was a beautiful haze yellow, almost lemon curd like. nice thick white head. The flavor was subtly sweet a nice hoppyness, citrusy and slightly peppery
the finish was great ,a little hoppy and a tiny bit of alcohol warmth, all in all a great beer
