Thanks to arguemaniac for grabbing me a growler of this!
Growler actually has about 1/8" of yeast at the bottom...cool!
Appears a glowing deep haze of golden-orange with a small bubbly white head. Leaves some spotty lacing.
Smell is faint of citrus, pineapple, light sugar, bubblegum, and banana esters.
Taste seems a little thin for a triple. Slight taste of light candy sugar with some citrus and bitter notes coming through with a light clove bite.
Mouthfeel is somewhat weak, as it comes up with medium carbonation and some fizz on the middle of the tongue. Bleeds slowly towards the back and sides of the mouth with a hint of sourness. This one is close but she needs a bit of tweaking IMO.

It's ok, dog.

While I’m sure it’s similar, this IS a different beer from their Belgian Triple that is already listed on this site. Here is the little blurb from Harvest Moon’s website:

“Trappist Triple- This Abbey ale is fermented with a unique Trappist yeast strain and left unfiltered to enhance its fruity flavors, mild bitterness and peppery finish.”

Appearance: A hazy orange/amber color. A decent white head with moderate retention.

Aroma: Very sweet and fruity, with a strong clove character as well

Taste and Mouthfeel: Like the aroma, this beer has a sweet, fruity malt character. Very yeasty, with a noticeable clove flavor as well. A nice bittering spicy quality which one would expect from a good triple like this one. Mainly a sour fruitiness in the finish, but with a slight alcohol bite as well. A fairly smooth mouthfeel with mild carbonation.

Very good, a nice triple with a fruity sweetness and some balancing spicy sourness as well. Plus the fact that it's unfiltered adds a bit of complexity, even for a triple. Recommended.
