12 ounce bottle into chalice, bottled on 10/30/2015. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy bright golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big apricot, pear, apple, white grape, coriander, pepper, clove, light banana/bubblegum, cracker, biscuit, light honey, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big apricot, pear, apple, white grape, coriander, pepper, clove, light banana/bubblegum, cracker, biscuit, light honey, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/yeast spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of apricot, pear, apple, grape, coriander, pepper, clove, light banana/bubblegum, cracker, biscuit, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/yeast spiciness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from yeast spiciness as well. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately grainy/bready, and lightly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a light warmth lingering after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice tripel style! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast and moderate bready malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

12 oz bottle. Pours clear golden with a white head. Sweetish honey cereal aroma. Flavor also has the honey cereal with some yeasty elements to it, somewhat sweet. It’s decent, not great.
