22oz bottle pours a slightly hazy but otherwise golden yellow with one ring of white head. Nose is sugary, yeasty, light spice, tropical fruits. Flavor is astringent alcohol, fruit, yeast, bland tropical fruits. Medium bodied and way to sweet on the finish.

bottle pours dark orange with a medium off white head. Aroma is citrus and grapefruit hop notes with light hay and grass. Flavor is rich pale malts, lots of hay and a nicely balanced hop finish. Lots of citrus in the finish, lingers for a while.

On tap. Pours with a huge white head over a clear golden body. Aroma of honey, pear, and candi sugar. Far too sweet smelling. Taste is sweet, coriander, caramel and alcohol. Reminds me strongly of BJ’s Grand Cru. Creamy mouthfeel. Not a good Tripel.

Bottle, home. Surprisingly good DIPA. This beer pours a medium amber with a smallish white head. The aroma is quite good, a mix of a variety of hop flavors - mostly floral and citric. There’s a touch of caramel malt, but this is clearly a hop ride from the outset. The flavor is pretty much all big chewy hops. I guess it’s dry, but it’s hard to taste much beyond the hops. If that’s not your cup of hop tea, then you won’t like this beer much. There was a definite paint thinner note when the beer was colder, but it fades to further hoppiness as it warmed up. Mouthfeel is a bit rough, but them’s the breaks with hop juice. Super hoppy DIPA.

Bottle courtesy of a traveling colleague. The beer is a deep copper-gold color with a medium frothy white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Sweet fruit and bready malt aroma. Medium chewy body with a borderline cloying sweetness and flavors of yeast, tropical fruit and a touch of peppery spice. The finish is sweet malt with a yeast aftertaste. Decent overall.

Sampled at the January ’10 Metro Detroit tasting. Thanks to whoever brought this! Poured a clear light orange with a yellow tint and minimal head. Aroma was full of hops, both pine and citrus notes present. Flavor began with citrus hops, then transitioned in to a nice pine finish.

pours golden/orange, light off-white head. aroma hints of dark sugars, Belgian yeast, wheat/grainy nose. flavor, similar to aroma, plenty of Belgian yeast coming across, apricot like fruits for a pungent mouthfeel, light bitter finish, tad of spices, warming abv. Nice Tripel, along the style but the abv becomes a little too much on the palate.

Bomber from Nugget Market in Woodland, CA. Pours hazy orange gold with a foamy 2-finger white head. Smells Belgian. Light fruit and mild spice. Medium body and tart/foamy carbonation. Flavor is fruit, citrus (coriander?), and some yeast spice. It’s a bit sweet, but I think there is also an underlying funk note. Finish certainly has citrus. A bit herbal, a bit citrus, a bit yeast, a bit funk? Works well for me.
