12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/22/2016. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, orange, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red apple, white grape, peppercorn, clove, light banana, honey, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness. Touch of booze in the aroma as it warmed, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, candi sugar, and pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big lemon, orange, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red apple, white grape, peppercorn, clove, light banana, honey, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/floral hop bitterness and peppery yeast spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red apple, white grape, peppercorn, clove, light banana, honey, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, candi sugar, and pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitter/spiciness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Lightly increasing warmth of 9.2%, hint of booze well after the finish. Overall this is a very nice Belgian strong pale ale. All around nice fruity/spicy yeast, candi sugar, and pale malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV. Well rounded Belgian yeast complexity and balanced pils malt/candi sugar. Not overly sweet for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering, and great style example.

Can, overall, probably more like a golden ale but how can a gentlemanly golden ale be 9+%? Nice cloudy Belgian presentation when popped & poured. Smell is a little phenolic. Nice visivle co2, lively. Taste is quite well mannered for dubble er trippel. There is an initial shock of mild tartness under a peppery backbone. The alky content wants this to be a strong Belgian ale but this brew hides it down to the point that you think yer drinken a civilized Belgian around 6, heheh. I think I like this, better than average and right up thar with East End #09 - Grisette Wooden Shoe Tippecanoe Canal Jumper, 4 Brothers Heaven’s Gate, Green Flash Rayon Vert, Leute Bokbier, Ommegang Game of Thrones #1 - Iron, or Grimbergen Blonde. For room temperature, this stuff came across rather entertaining, and possibly has some of the desirable attributes of #1 orval.

Bomber from Carrboro Beverage, shared at Slutfest 5, 4/25/15. Clear golden, thin fizzy tan head, fair retention. Aroma of yeast, apples, spice. The taste is bready malt, yeast, spice, apples. Medium bodied, low carbonation, strong lingering yeast and spice.
