Draught at the brewery
Cloudy dark amber color with small head. Strong, fruity, but a bit sweet and syrupy with too mild Belgian yeast character.
More similar to the American interpretation of Strong Belgian Ales than to a classic Triple.

Light malt and fruity aroma. Smooth mouthfeel; it has light residual sweetness, creamy malt flavor, and light fruity touch.

On tap at Storm, pours a clouyd golden with a small white head. Aroma is authentic, with Belgian yeast, light candied apples, and dry wheaty notes. Flavour is powerful, with candied sugar, Belgian yeast and fruity esters. More sugary than the better tripels, but this is still in the more acceptance territory. Well-balanced and masking of the ABV. Decent beer, but still too much residual sugar for the style.

On tap at Storm, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Nose is exactly like a cinnamon bun, with lots of cinnamon and caramelized sugar. Flavour is identical - this doesn't fuck around - loads of cinnamon and a touch of icing sugar. Cool novelty beer, but doesn't hit the spot for me.

On tap at Storm, pours a hazy golden yellow with a large white head. Aroma is pure pineapple juice - very pungent. Flavour is almost as strong, with pure pineapple juice. This is like a pineapple cocktail. Nice fruity beer, easy to drink. Good one.

On tap at Storm, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out shitloads of licorice and fennel. Flavour is identical, hiding any pilsner like notes. Interesting experiment. Drinks easy, just quite a bit weird.

On tap at Storm, pours a cloudy dark golden orange with a medium white head. Aroma is hugely dominated by the lavender, almost soapy. Flavour is very soapy and lavendery, with loads of the spice and floral soapy notes. Finishes a little hoppy and astringent. Decent experiment.

On tap at Storm, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Nose is extremely dry, with loads of Granny Smith apples. Flavour is exceedingly dry, with not a touch of sweetness - just loads of puckeringly dry apples. Like a traditional English cider. Quite well-made, though I've never been a huge fan of ciders this dry.

On tap at Storm, pours a cloudy orangey yellow with a small beige head. Aroma is potent, full of smoke, black tea, and ash. Flavour is along the same lines, with loads of the Lapsang tea dominating, with its smoky and earthy flavours. Nice novelty beer, just can't drink much of this personally.

On tap at Storm, pours a cloudy amber with a medium white head. Nose is kind of skunky, with vegetal notes and maybe some faint cranberries back there. Flavour tastes fruity and spicy, with cranberries and what taste like chipotle pepper - though I doubt that's what this is. Far inferior to the grapefruit radler. Not too good.
