Commercial Description:
The aroma of this beer is agreeably gentle and is carried by a discreet bitterness while the balance between the malt and hops relies on fruity accents and a lightly fresh aftertaste.

Golden color, cloudy, fluffy white head. Sweet fruity aroma with some notes of spice and orange. Pale malt flavor with spice and a hint of light fruit. Hops and spice on the finish. Lots of fine, spritzy carbonation.

Bottle, poured in tulip glass. Hazy caramel orange with light foam head and floaters, let settle and warmed up a bit, no lacing. Aroma of caramel and light malts, yeast, hops. Soft on the palate with some slight spice hops and a bit of citrus. I get a mild wheat texture in the middle towards the end with a little zing.

Poured into a trappist glass. About a 1 finger white head and a light golden body that released a nice sweet, citrus aroma. The taste was a little hoppy and sweet. Definitely fruity with a light aftertaste. Good beer

A: Nice pour with a large, frothy white head that hung around for awhile and then dissipated to about 1-finger size. Very nice lacing on the sides of the glass in web forms. Body is a dark-golden color and hazy. S: Aroma comes through as mostly yeast and several examples of fruit, such as lemon, orange, and others I’m no good at identifying. T: Bready yeast and fruity, hints of lemon and orange coming through. Finishes with a moderate warmth from the alcohol, but by no means overpowering. Very nice. M: Great on the palate, with a medium-to-full body and creamy texture, and quite lively carbonation. D: A very nice tripel; not quite up to snuff with the St. Bernardus Tripel, but still very enjoyable and actually fairly easy to put one back.
