Hazy golden color; poor head. Very light sour aroma, light vinegar, some spices, very light rotten apples. Dry mouthfeel, with some thin malt flavor, little residual sweetness, light spices. The final is warming and dry. Not so good, quite boring.

22 oz bottle-pours a thin white head with bubbles around the rim and cloudy/hazy gold color. Aroma is yeast, musty, fruit-?tart/orange peel, secondary spices, light/medium malt. Taste is yeast, musty, fruit-tart/lemon peel/pepper/clove-secondary spices, some vinegar, dough. Medium body. Occasional. Interesting for an American brewery. Thanks jwc215 for sharing.

Bottle: Pours golden with a smaller white head. Nose is fruity with yeast, malt, and light bitters. Flavor is sweet with the citrus apple cider qualities shining through. Light yeast presence and maltiness. Smooth drinking tripel.

Sampled on draft at Zeno’s in State College PA this beer poured a bright golden-amber color with a small yellow-white head. The aroma was spicy, lightly fruity, yeasty and showed a bit too much alcohol. The flavor was tangy, fruity and a bit yeasty with again too much alcohol showing through. The finish was dry and rather bland. The mouthfeel was moderately thick.

Medium orange body, cloudy after mixing in a touch of yeast sediment, thick puffy off-white head. Predominantly estery nose: clove, pepper, and light banana notes dominate the aroma. Floral with light sweetness and hints of bubblegum. The body exhibits tropical fruit (pineapple), pepper, and light tanginess, with a big, bitter estery component. Alcohol is a touch prickly. Bready. Very good, but not in the top echelon of Tripels.

2006 draught at the Belgian Beer Fest in Boston on 10/28/06
Big, frothy, white head is well-retained and laces moderately. Medium-high clarity with sparkling carbonation cast all about the deep golden and hay colored body.
Strong, very liberally dry-hopped aroma displays notes of lush grass, fresh green herbs, light lemon and lime essences and light floral notes. Juicy and very aromatic, without any high-alpha hop bitterness or citrus/pine aromatics. Malt in the background, while not overly sweet, is still very present, in more a cakey/spongey dextrinous way. Honeyish and very pale, it allows the hops center stage and then slowly gives way to a rather clean Belgian yeast that shows some dough, a bit of yellow fruit esters, perhaps (it’s difficult to sort out what is hop-derived/ester-derived) and just a prick of alcohol warmth mixed with almost a cinnamon-like note. The hops are certainly welcome and pleasant, lingering long in the aroma and definitely cutting in to the trippel aspect of the beer, but they’re done so well and enjoyably that I can’t complain.
Rather sweeter than expected, is the flavor, with probably a bit too much caramel-like sweetness and not as much heady pils maltiness. Hops add a juicy green acidity (light) and more flavors of leaf and grass, with spicy dill and lemon. They don’t seem as long-lived as in the nose, however, and soon the malts grow a bit too gooey-sweet and combines with yeast notes of cinnamon-peach and light apple. Alcohol is warming on the end as well, but dosent seem to help dry things out. Perhaps more carbonation would be in order, as this definitely needs respite from the strong caramel presence that begins to build up with warming/breathing.
2006 bottle at Hop Devil Grill on 1/12/07
Same appearance, though perhaps the head recedes a bit too quickly. Lacing is prominent, however.
Overall, it’s very similar to the draught experience, but certainly in the 2.5 months it’s been since I first had it, the dry-hopping is noticeably faded, which dosent bode well. It allows more sticky malt, peachy esters and cinnamon-like phenols. Don’t get me wrong, it’s far from having lost its hoppiness, but they dont have the juicy, fresh crispness they first had. Just too much boring caramel flavor in the end; not really underattenuated, just rather dull in the maltiness. Carbonation seems a bit loose as well, in the bottle. The hops definitely save the show, which is not a good thing.

2006 bottle at the Hop Devil Grill. Split between me and gotmos. Poured into glass with nice big frothy head. Color is a full deep golden, cannot see through the beer. Now no one else has talked about this, maybe its the newer vintage- very milky, lactose like belgian sweetness. Aroma is a combination of strong lactose character combined with the candi sugar. Taste is similar but has a citrus and coriander aspect. Taste seemed to combine the lactose belgian sweetness with the spices of the new Grand Cru. Great all around. Finishes with no bitterness and some lactose aftertaste. This is one of the best Tripels I have ever tried.
