Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Blond colour, just slightly hazy. The aroma is mellow, a bit flowery, faintest trace of Belgian yeast, esters. Good body strength, it has a moderate amount of residual sugar, but it's not in cloying territory, and it's well balanced by alcohol and bitterness; spicy yeast, in moderation, with mild pepper and coriander profile; delicate fruity esters complete the picture. And it avoids the typical flaws of North American Tripels, such as bubblegum.
Very good.
