Golden beer that turns cloudy only after you pour the sediment in. cider-like appearance with a sudsy beer cap. Smells like pineapple with a slight sourness to it, reminiscent of some grand crus. Distinct sour notes throughout the beer, with slight moldiness. Alcohol is barely noticable.Effervescent mouthfeel with an initial carbonation explosion that quickly evaporates off the tongue. Full, flavorful, and round: a good drinking experience.

Aug 11, 2008 (330 ml bottle from 1828 Vintage House) Pours cloudy gold/amber with about a finger and a half of whitish head. Aroma of caramel nougat, fruit and vanilla - very nice. Mouthfeel medium-full, soft, lightly sticky - very nice. Full, webby sheets of lacing. Flavor is sweet and fruity with notes of caramel, nut and vanilla. Light-medium bittter hop presence. A subtle spice/pepper note builds as it warms and carries through to a lingering peppery aftertaste. ABV well-integrated providing a nice warming effect. Nice tripel from Belgium.

Aug 9, 2008 Pours a cloudy yellow with a small head and very nice lacing. I had this in a tulip glass and let it warm a bit which brought out the aroma much better. It smells fruity (especially citrus like). It is thin, as triples can be, but a bit too thin. It is slightly dry and bitter but no over whelming. It is also sweet and that sticks on your tongue a bit just like honey wood. This beer is a tough one. Just when I want to bury it I find a redeeming quality.

Jul 27, 2008 A pretty good triple. My notes didnt list the color or the size of the hed. Aromas are strong, fruity and yeasty. Flavor is a tad hot with dried fruits, vanilla, and yeast. Maybe some banana bread too. Mouthfeel was nice on this one. Good, but not the best ever...for sure.
