Draught at Tadg’s. Cloudy gold, muddy. Estery nose, with citrus, grapefruit, honey, orange. Estery flavor, peach, some diacetyl, wheat it seems, some hops. Refreshing but rough. I can’t tell what it is supposed to be aiming at. Not very harvest feeling either.

Re-rate - pretty mediocre stuff. Big caramel finish. Not balanced. Not that great. Drank on tap at brewery pub so I assume in good condition. deep amber color. Interesting marachino cherries, unfermented wort in the nose. Medium body, very malty, but very balanced and centered around the backbone. Moderate amount of bitterness. I would say strong pale ale rather than India pale ale.

Draught at Tadg’s. Comes across as a little brother of the IPA. SImilar malt character, caramel-toffee, but here it is way ramped down. Grassy hops, light citrus, very dry and clean. Extremely drinkable and refreshing with a very dry, slightly bitter finish.

Draught at Tadg’s. Pale yellow, cloudy. Malty nose of wheat, orange, lightly buttered toast. Sweet and fruity flavor, spicy but clean and probably unspiced, nicely malty. Very interesting wit, showing signs of wild yeast character. Finishes quite dry with some hops as well. Solid, though a bit too sweet.

Draught at the Kyoto craft Beer Festival, 2012. Pretty orange-brown color with lace. Big caramel nose enveloped in grassy hops. Great bitterness. Very complex as sweet, rich caramel works with (battles against) grassy, earthy hops. A trip, though a bit weird.

Draught at JCBF 2012. Spicy, yeasty nose, fruity, with honey and a strong yeasty nose coming from the wild yeast. Honey golden color with lots of cloudiness. Sweet and fruity, yeasty with a dirty barnyard aspect going through to the finish. Full and smooth. Too sweet but interesting. Good, but not quite perfect. The wild yeast seems difficult to control in a tripel. Good start for these guys, though.
