Golden colour and tiny white head. Sweet Belgian yeast esters in the nose. Light-bodied. Watery for its abv. Candied sugar. Light esters. Simple and too light.

One of the more anticipated beers in a recent order with the nice people at Half Time. The cooled-off can pint can is open and headed into my Delirium snifter. A translucent yellow-gold body is topped by a bare swirl of very fine, white foam. The nose follows the basic tripel game plan with yeast, grain and yellow fruit, all fine by me. With a drink I get a significant spiciness up front followed by nectarines, malt, a hint of hops, dry crackers and apricots. I call this one good.

Can (01/02/24) pour from The Beer Store, Salem. Deeply hazy pale yellow with tons of sparkle, thin head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is clove and fruity esters, sweet malts, Belgian yeast, bubblegum. Taste is wheat, clove, pepper, pear, bubblegum, Belgian yeast. Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation, no sign of alcohol (9% by this iteration), and dry, yeasty finish as taste.

Can at home. Schilling branching out to a Belgian style. Peachy yellow pour and smaller head. Nose is fruity and some yeast. Tastes of pear, apricot, banana bread, cloves, slight alcohol.lighter bodied for style. And not a heavy hitter alcohol wise.

Pours slightly hazed gold into a tulip. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving scant trailing sheets. Candi and funky yeast ester aromas. Sweet with bubblegum and pear upfront turning to peppery earth and meringue in the medium length finish.

Canned 11/13/18, drunk 1/19/19.
Clear, blonde-bronze-golden with some warm-toned honey hues and a sizable, white head showing moderate retention.
Strongly fruity in the nose with apricot, pear and apple leading to light white pepper, tons of soft, sumptuous, honey-like base malts and low clove/no bubble gum or other messy esters. Lots of apple-pear and it's not green apple either. No alcohol or flaw. Relaxed and with no candy-like or syrupy notes.
Soft, malty, well-attenuated but still supple and fairly rich. Honey, pear, apricot and light marmalade-like acidity with spicy phenols, as well, for balance. Tight carbonation and no alcohol or flaw. A lovely tripel that stays away from the fiery alcohol and heavy phenolic character of many of its brethren.
