A - Very hazy medium copper gold color with a substantial amount of small suspended floaties (even when pouring very quiet, Thin layer of head that's a bright white color and very sticky. As the beer warms the haze migrates to clear.

S - Crisp and spicy aroma with pear, apples, some apricot. Bright and fruity. Some straw funk.

T - Follows the nose. Spices, pears, apples, a touch of apricot, alcohol is very well hidden when it's cold but becomes a little more detectable as it warms. A little yeasty. As the beer warms, more honey starts to come through.

M - Lots of sprightly and mild prickly carbonation that gives way to a creamy finish. Leaves a spicy, slightly yeasty finish.

O - Tried some of the beers from Fox in the past and it's been hit or miss for me, this is one I'll go back and by more of. Nice job.

12/22...pours fizzy cloudy gold with heavy foam that sticks to the side. Fruity chalky nose. Kind of plain. Taste is a sweet fruity blend, some citrus, floral notes. Cherries, fruit juice, backed by a slight yeasty bitter. Clean and crisp. Overall nice blend, good flavor.

Nice spicy tripel, just a touch of tanginess, some floral notes, clear golden body with active carbonation. Decent fluffy head shrinks to small lasting head. A tripel with a little bit of bite.
