Enjoyed on draft at the Brother Beer Bistro. Pours a hazy golden colour with an off-white head, decent retention and lacing. Fruity malt nose with peach, bananas and apple notes. The yeast also adds to the fruitiness. Same for the taste but with a little grass in the finish. Hints of apricots. Refreshing triple with mild tart. A nice fruity strong ale well representing the style with good yeast.

(bottle) hazy orange amber colour with a tall off white head; aromas of fruit, champagne, flowers; mostly dry, clean, refreshing flavour

(On tap at the brewery, April 17 2014) Pours a quite hazy pale orange with a small white head of fine bubbles, a little lacing. Aroma of candy sugar, a little pit fruit and orange peel, white bread, floral/spicy hop/yeast character. Flavour is cereal malts, faintly sweet but with very little candy sugar character, citrus, a bit herbal, light clove, low ester character. Lightly bitter throughout but finishes noticeably dry for a tripel, noble-type hops apparent in that finish, a bit peppery. Body medium, carb pretty soft, no booze noticeable. A crisp and refreshing take on a tripel, not mind-blowing but good, could use a sunny day.

A hazed copper amber ale with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity candy malt with banana, coriander, curacao, classic. In mouth, a nice crisp fruity malt with light banana, coriander and curacao, light alcohol warmth, alcohol warmth, very nice. On tap at brewery.

What better than another tripel from the wooden bell? Hits my soft spot for tripels. A little boozier, ballsier and clovier than the Fortune Cookie, but not sure if it’s necessarily better. Pours cloudy light orange with good head and lacing. Some sweet malt and perfumy florals, Belgian yeast also in aroma with the aforementioned. Finishes a little sweet, a touch of sourness oddly pronounced for style and some bitterness. Tap at brewpub.
