Poured into a chalice, the appearance was a semi-dark amber color with a thick white foamy head. Moderately slow dissipation. Mild stringy lace.
The aroma blended some sweet yeasty/Belgian spice to bready sweetness. Subtle grassy tones play with some iced apples. Banana, crisp clean pears, and then some yogurt all combine nicely.
The flavor leans closer to the sweet side trying to allow some spice and breadiness to come in. Those two portions mainly sit in the background. Slick sweet sort of fruity aftertaste with a quick finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body and has a decent sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation. ABV seemed a bit lower than projected.
Overall, this one was a decent tripel in aroma and flavor but seems to lack the real ABV strength of the style to make it a great one. I think I could still come back to this one.

Draft @ the brewpub. Color is clear golden with a thick head that sticks around for a while. Aroma is strong spicy Belgian yeast with a Belgian candy aspect and some Belgian dough to round it off. The Belgian yeast spice is so strong on clove. As far as aroma it may be a bit aggressive but well in the style. Flavor is a bit too sweet (the norm for American tripels). More herbal and peppery spiciness coming off the yeast. Its an above average brewpub tripel and easy drinking drinking despite a slightly thicker mouthfeel.
