Clear yellow with an active and large head. Fruity, yeast, light earth, and a bit of funk in the nose. Bright fruit, sugary sweet, light yeast, a bit of earth, too. Medium dryness in the finish. Real nice beer.

750 c&c from Half Time. Pours clear gold with a creamy/foamy white head. Aroma is lightly burnt citrus. A little sour in the aroma. Near full in body. Flavor is citrus, almost bergamot, with some sweetly earthy (?) aspects. It keeps promising sour, but never quite gets there. The flavor complexity is not great, but it is quite unusual. The mouthfeel is good, and it’s something of a cooked fruit tripel. Like it.

Clear golden coloured body with a hazy look and a nice sized white head (from natural carbonation & bottle fermentation) with a bunch of small bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of bananas, yeast, bread, wheat and a bunch of spices. Medium-bodied; Assertive spiciness in the taste with coriander seed, curacao and some allspice in the mix. Aftertaste is pleasant and not as strong as most other tripels. Good on the spice, good on the sweetness and a well-brewed beer that shows well for the brewery as a whole. Overall, nice to try and looking for more from the producer! I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased from Liquor Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 14-March-2010, sampled at home in Washington on 21-March-2010.

750ml bottle at the DC local tasting. Pours a hazy, cloudy yellow with a frothy white head. Aroma is sweet, sugary, a little spice, cloves, yeast. Flavor is sweet, yeast, spices, a little candy. Very smooth, deadly smooth actually. Dry finish.

Bottle sample at a tasting. Thanks David Cohen. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma of flowers, yeast, honey notes, fruits (some citrus) and peppery hints. Yeasty, estery, flavor with candies, fruits (banana, apples, some peach), spicy notes (mostly pepper) and light soapy hints. Medium-bodied. Decent.

At a tasting, small head, clear pale lemon yrllow colour, aroma of yeast, mushrooms,, tea and something medicinal. Malty biscuity flavours with notes of earth and cough drops and a strong but not overbearing bitterness. Very interesting.
