I believe this is my last one from my sister.
This was poured into a chalice.
The appearance was a nice typical hazy orange bronzed over yellow color with a closer to thin finger-ed white foamy head that dissipated within less than forty seconds. The lacing was there and kinda all over the place.
The smell had that \"iced apple\" aroma I almost always smell in Tripels with a nice light spicy clove-like characteristics showcasing themselves inside of a bready yeastiness.
The taste was exactly the same. There really wasn’t much difference from the smell.
On the palate, this one sat right at a medium with what wanted to be somewhat sessionable, but I found myself sipping this for the most part. The carbonation was slightly there, but I figured, it didn’t have to be since there was a fair amount going on that would keep things together.
Overall, in my opinion, this was a good Tripel that I would have again.

Another bottle from my sister, either my brother in law stopped drinking or she’s trying to keep my beer belly on me. Drat, well, here’s my take on this.
Two bottles, one was poured into a pint glass and the other was a mug. The head lasted longer in the mug and seemed to be more speckled.
The rest of the appearance was a gentle dark orange to slight brown color. There was a decent one finger white foamy head that once it dissipated, there was a messy lacing all over.
The smell had a grassy sweet citrus aroma all around and combined.
The taste tried to be mellow but came across in a sweet grassy sort of super light peppery sort of way.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium in body with a tad of sessionability about it. The carbonation seemed to indicate a fair sharpness about it but it was nothing out of the ordinary positively or negatively.
Overall, for the most part, this was a good witbier that I’d have again, nice to try, but not necessarily one to really seek out.

6.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 7
Bottle from my sister.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a one finger white to off white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute. Gentle sporadic lacing sticks around the sides of the glass.
The smell had a soft chocolate sweetness with a gentle rolling warmth of booze underneath, huh, hmmm...must be really fresh at 6.7%. Light grainy to thick dark fruitiness trying to strike a certain strength in this one.
The taste took the previously mentioned flavors and added a good sweet booziness.
On the palate, this one sat fairly light for the most part and showed a decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was there but not overbearing.
Overall, good beer, now where are my oatmeal raisin cookies to go with this? (wink). I’d have it again.

A hazed blonde weisse with a thick frothy white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light banana and lemon juice, cloves, nice. In mouth, a light sweet banana malt with light lemon tartness, mineral notes, a bit watery, but refreshing. On tap at Coney Island on tap.
