16oz can. Dark orange body, looks filtered. Thin, patchy, white head. Big fruity yeast tone, bready malts, not really nailing the malt or hop profile of a classical Tripel. Perhaps more in line with Duvel or just a Pale Strong Belgian Ale. Drinkable at 8.7%, but still full bodied. Some warming alcohol notes in the finish. Some vanilla tones in there as well. OK.

16oz can. Deep brown-burgundy body. Beige head. Huge fruity notes, toffee. Finishes a little flat. Really lacks the mouthfeel of a Belgian example. Seems like they used extract to get it to 11%,lacks much finesse or complexity. Doesn't exactly nail it but pleasant enough.

Reminds me a lot of red and black Agnes but a sour version, nice Berry jam funk.

Grapey sweet funk, tannic and mild effervescence.

Like a wild ale and a painkiller had a kid

16 ounce can into tulip glass, 2019 vintage, batch 4. Pours very hazy deep ruby red/orange/pink color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy light pink head with great retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of huge sour/tart/tangy red raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, plum, pear, apricot, green apple, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, peppercorn, leathery/musty/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Amazing aromas with fantastic complexity and balance of raspberries, fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge sour/tart/tangy red raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, plum, pear, apricot, green apple, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, peppercorn, leathery/musty/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness, fruit tang, and yeast/fruit tannin spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of sour/tart/tangy red raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, plum, pear, apricot, green apple, red grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, peppercorn, leathery/musty/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of raspberries, fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with a great malt/tart/sourness, and tangy fruit balance. Mild lingering puckering sourness, but not overwhelming. Fairly crisp finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering tart/sourness and tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately grainy/acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol from 6.5%. Overall this is an amazing fruited sour/wild ale. All around amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of raspberries, fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; very smooth, easy, and fairly crisp to drink with the moderately acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish; not overly lactic/tannic. Amazing balance of super jammy raspberries and Brett/Bacteria complexity; with a nice pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp acidic/tangy dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing spot on style example as expected.

Can - labeled as Tripel - light amber pour with a quickly dissipating head - smells of overripe fruit, bubblegum, honey, alcohol - flavor is bitter, boozy, husky - sticky malt - black pepper - some ginger - medicinal finish - not just bad as a Tripel (which it most certainly is not), bad in general.
