Oct 31, 2007 ABR 2007. Apple hints on a grainy nose. Sweet body with a little roasted malt. A little grainy on the body as well.

Oct 8, 2007 bottle ABR 07. Too me this tasted like an overly sweet oktoberfest, and now I see why, its supposed to be a tripel as well. Not really at the quality you would think, but solid nonetheless.

Oct 1, 2007 Autumn Brew Review ’07
Interesting take here. Supposedly an O-fest with a Belgian tripel. I get some o-fest qualities but the tripel isn’t as prevalent. Carameled apple aroma. Something is a little off in the flavor, reminicent of many Viking brews. Not bad, but not something I’d likely try more than once.

Oct 1, 2007 whoa, this was a weird beer. Fairly sweet with some apple and plum? flavor in there. never would have guessed this was 10%, quite smooth. A good sipper from Viking. I dont think this is available in bottles, as far as I know.

Sep 30, 2007 Sampled at the 2007 Autumn Brew Review in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Pours a clear brown amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behind a clean top. Aroma of caramel malt, some yeast funk and a touch of tart green apples. Taste is medium bodied, very light carbonation with a Belgian multi-grain malt, some flowery hops and a distinct sour apple flavor. Finish is slightly dry at first and then a lingering tart apple aftertaste. A pleseant experience that would easily remind me of a Wisconsin Oktoberfest at one of their many apple orchards.
