Bottle @ home. Clear a bit orange golden color, small white to off-white head. Both aroma and taste are malts, quite floral, very sweet and slightly herbal. Average to medium body, average carbonation. Hate to say it, but it’s a typical US made Belgian style tripel and it’s just not very good.

A hazed golden ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light candy sugar, coriander and curacao, alcohol warmth, classic Belgian aroma. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with loads of fruity esters, light cloves, curacao and coriander, alcohol warmth, nicely done. On tap at Jet Rock Terminal B, PHL.

Draught at Edison Ale House, Newark, NJ; 10 oz
Cloudy golden color with small compact head. I expected more from Weyerbacher, but this is just one more sterile American attempt at Belgian styles, resulting in a boozy sweet beer, with strong bubblegum character, and relatively low bitterness; impression of pond water.
I’m not impressed.

750 ml bottle into chalice, bottled on 10/29/2014. Pours lightly hazy bright golden color with a 1 finger dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of big pear, apple, apricot, banana, pepper, clove, coriander, wheat, candi sugar, bread, herbal, grass, light bubblegum, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, pale malt, and earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big pear, apricot, apple, banana, pepper, clove, coriander, candi sugar, wheat, bread, herbal, grass, light bubblegum, and yeast earthiness. Good amount of earthy yeast spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of pear, apple, apricot, banana, pepper, clove, coriander, candi sugar, wheat, bread, herbal, grass, light bubblegum, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Fantastic complexity and robustness of fruity/spicy yeast, pale malt, and earthy hop flavors; with a great crisp malt/yeast balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. High carbonation and medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and fairly prickly mouthfeel that is great. A good amount of dryness as well. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a light warming present after the finish. Overall this is an outstanding tripel style. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, pale malt, and earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and crisp to sip on for the big ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.

Botttle. Cloudy greenish yellow with medium sized spongy off-white head that dissipated rather fast, vanilla-yeast aroma, low carbonation, citrusy yeast taste, strong body, medium finish, faint alcohol aftertaste. Very well balanced triple.

Reviewed from notes. Bottle share with Myrik, the BA.
This was poured into a chalice and a tulip for me.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy orange to golden yellow color with a decent one finger white foamy head that quickly dies to a film coating the top of the beer. There was some light speckled lacing gracing the sides of the glass.
The aroma had some Belgian spices over coating a nice sweet sugared fruit/candi like maltiness.
The taste was mainly sweet and spicy through the Belgian spices and the sugary sweetness.
On the palate, this one sat at/about a light to medium on the body. Sessionability - not really as I found myself sipping this one for the most part. The carbonation seemed fairly good the tripel style.
Overall, good tripel worthy of having again.
