This classic style is what Belgian beer is all about, and brings out incredible complexity and subtleness from our house yeast strain. We make this once a year in the late winter, and savor every drop.

Reviewed from notes. Recvd in trade.
This was poured into a chalice.
The appearance was a hazy orange to brown color with a slim one finger white head that dies within a minute leaving messy lacing just going all over the place.
The smell had some spiced apples, light bready yeast, subdued pepper and a light clove.
The taste was spicy and sweet and added a light grassy taste in it as well.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium in body with a fair sessionable rate about it. The carbonation was good for the style and for me, slightly sharp but still smooth enough to go down the ol’ hatch.
Overall, good tripel of having again.

16 ounce can into chalice, no canning date. Pours fairly crystal clear golden amber color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with some light streaming carbonation. Aromas of pear, apple, grape, banana, clove, honey, candi sugar, light bubblegum, and earthy yeast spiciness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of malt and yeast ester notes. Taste of banana, pear, apple, clove, bubblegum, honey, candi sugar, bread, and earthy yeast spiciness. Lingering notes of banana, light fruits, clove, bubblegum, honey, candi sugar, bread, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice balance and complexity of malt and yeast ester flavors; with zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a smooth and fairly slick mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with hardly any warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is an excellent tripel! All around nice balance and complexity of flavors; and very smooth to sip on. A very enjoyable offering.

On tap at the brewpub. Hazy straw-yellow body, thin off-white head. Nose of clove, clover honey, and light fruit. Clove-forward body, estery, with crackers, pear, and other light fruits, finishing dry and dusty with bitter hops. Not bad.
