Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Light spicy/malty aroma. Med + body. Flavor is darkish malt, with date/fig/raisin type fruit. Seems to develop a touch of fennel. Very nice. Some yeast. Some chocolate. Keeps developing new flavor suggestions.

Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours very dark orange/amber with a 3 finger off-white Guinness head. Aroma is fruity/peppery. Med body or better. Flavor is nicely darkish malt with a little dark fruit and more pepper. It’s not very hot, but certainly spicy. Quite nice. Finishes towards dry. Not bitter.

Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours bright gold with a large creamy white head. Aroma is earthy/floral with yeast. Med body. Seems a little wheaty? Flavor is sort of earthy/floral saison. Odd flavor notes. But it all works well together. Finishes tasty, bitter, hoppy.

Capped 750 from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours sort of copper blush with a transient white head. Aroma is malt and floral. Med body. Flavor is somewhat malty with floral going somewhat citrus. Not getting much Belgian yeast/spice/fruity ester. It’s drinkable, but for me the malt is a bit much. I’d never have thought this was a tripel in a blind test.

On tap at the source. Clear golden hued pour with a moderate white head. Aromas are spicy and floral with a medium malt character, somewhat hoppy, clean. Flavors are clean, soft malt up front, floral medium hoppy character with a rather strong (a bit too assertive) bitterness in the finish. Fuller carbonation, medium bodied. Tasty.

Flavors are dry, nice malty and toasty notes, medium esters. Nice peppery spicy backing that pairs well with the dry malty notes. Somewhat earthy. Fuller carbonation with a medium body.

6.9/10 β€” Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
On tap. Pours with a brilliantly clear yellow straw hue with a white head. Aromas are bready, toasty, mostly clean, lightly herbal hop aroma. Flavors are bready and lightly sweet, with a touch of citrus, and herbal sterling hops. A touch of rice. Dry finish, with a relatively low bitterness (I wish it was a touch more crisp and a touch more assertively bitter, but I not sure if that is what he was going for). Medium carbonation, soft body. Good.

On tap at the brewery. Pours with a hazed golden yellow hued body. Aromas are lightly herbal, some spicy, bready, grainy, orange peel, dried esters. Mostly a really nice and soft malt profile with enough yeast esters and phenols to keep it interesting. Still crisp. Flavors are very drinkable with a great bready malt profile, nice hop character that is mostly spice, dry, lively carbonation and clean. Extremely drinkable. Well done!
