Tap @ Raccoon Lodge: Pours a light golden color with a nice off-white head and good lacing. Aroma is spicey and fruity with just a light yeast note. Tastes spicey and fruity with some sweet and tart notes. Oak aged hops, wth? This has a really mellow hop note with just a bit of citrus and florals. Light yeast and retains a crisp level of spices. This was different, but good.

Draft at the brewpub (as Belgian Style Tripel Ale). Sweetish Belgian spice aroma. Bright golden color with a white head. Medium body with very smooth carbonation. Sweet caramel, low impact spice, touch of vanilla, perhaps floral or grassy hop. Leaves the mouth tingling. Should be a sipper.

Draft at Bailey’s Taproom, Portland. A hazy golden beer with a thick beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of spices, wheat, and oranges. The flavor is very sweet - a bit too much for my liking, with notes of spices, yeast, oranges, and peaches, leading to a dry wheaty finish. A bit too much for me.
