Canned 16JAN2025, drunk 24AUG2025. Thanks to Chalumeaux.
Clear, deep blonde-brass. Small-to-medium, white head.
Sweet, rich, honey-drenched malt with fruity, light roast coffee, it seems. Vanilla is soft, as well, minimal. Fruity Belgian esters and no crude phenols. No booze noted.
Soft, rich, malty, good attenuation and mild, fruity coffee with soft, buttery vanilla. Not crude, with lots of stone fruit, light pepper and mild apple. Rich honey lingering with some clove and roasty coffee. I think this is quite well-done and definitely works well.

16 oz can shared by TJ. Thank you. Aroma is bold coffee, soft vanilla. The Belgian yeast is almost hard to find underneath the two adjuncts. This tastes good. Bold coffee and vanilla.

Can shared by Chalumeaux--thanks, TJ! Hazy, bright yellow, no sparkle, thin head with ring of head, trace lacing. Aroma is strong vanilla and mellow coffee, faint fruit. Taste is strong sweet coffee, vanilla with fruit undertones. Frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. A delicious vanilla and coffee beverage but Tripel is all but lost--not super balanced. Enjoyable but not spectacular.

Can shared by Chalumeaux--thanks, TJ! Lightly hazy honey brown with reddish hue, no sparkle, thin cap of head with ring, and light lacing. Aroma is sweet agave, watermelon, light vanilla. Taste is super strong sweet, sugary watermelon with hint of lime, mild wood. Frothy texture, soft carbonation finish as taste with late dry yeastiness. Interesting, for sure, but hard to find the Kolsch. So sweet it reminds me of a cross between an air freshener, hard candy and urinal puck. Not going to finish.

Aroma is agave plant if I ever smelled it! Maybe a touch of watermelon. Flavor is everything they said. Agave, mild watermelon and a hint of lime in the finish. I could do without the lactose but… they did nail the “watermelon Margarita” character.

A nice, basic saison. Notes of toasted caramel, candied citrus peel, yeast, wheat. Medium bodied with fine carb. Lightly sweet finish, more yeast expression, semi-ripe citrus fruit. Fine.

Canned March 27, 2025, drunk Aug 13, 2025, compliments of TJ.
Lightly hazy, raspberry-watermelon color with a pinkish-tinged, white head that steadily falls to light cover.
Very floral with watermelon but maybe some agave/tequila vegetal and pepper notes joining in? Certainly don't get anything kolsch-like, but I also don't get the lactose, thankfully. No buttery oak or tannin in the nose.
Watermelon jolly ranchers and more of whatever this floral character is. Reasonable malt and it's well-attenuated, but it's a bit watermelon concentrate-like and I don't really get any rich oakiness. Maybe it's just the floral character they were after, and to be fair, everything is done well here, save the slightly candy-like watermelon.
