500 ml bottle. Pours mahogany with light head. Aromas of raisins, mineral water, biscuity malts and a bit of Christmas cake spice. Flavors follow same with additional copper/metallic elements and earthy yeast. A very North American version of a Quad with the typical metallic elements and more earthy yeast than a typical Belgian. Good enough.

Solid IPA. Tangerine, a hint of marmalade. Grapefruit. Hazy golden pour but more west coast in vibe. Ok head. Light bitter finish with a hint of booze, hop tang. But the latter is light. Can.

473 ml can. 2024 vintage just labeled Belgian Tripel. Pours gold with moderate head. Aromas of banana, pears, spicy esters, and bready malts. Flavors of earthy esters, fruity pears, banana, candied stoned fruit and bready malts. Quite nice, though still on the North America side of a Belgian.

Can from CCC July 2024 box. Murky reddish purple with a foamy, one finger light purple cap that fades quickly to a sheet, leaving spotty lace. Nose is bright tart raspberry with some light vanilla and grass. Light jam sweetness with a medium raspberry tartness that is more pronounced than in the nose. Mouth is medium with prickly carbonation and a tart finish. 7/3-/8/3+/14

Bronze colour, bright. Medium head. Biscuity, toasty malt nose with moderate spruce. On the palate, same malt profile and quite a bit more spruce. Medium bitterness. There’s some quality hops in here but they seem to be overwhelmed by the spruce. Still, the spruce-malt dynamic works well.

473ml can. Pours a hazy amber gold with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Sweet aroma of bready caramel malt, Belgian yeast, banana, clove and floral hops. Sweet flavour of bready caramel malt, pineapple, Belgian yeast, lemon and spicy hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Enjoyable and easy to drink.
