Pours a hazy golden with a silky beige head. Nose has tropical fuits, cloves, Belgian yeast and peppery alcohol. Taste is also quite fruity with some herbal yeast, spices and an unbalanced alcohol presence. Medium body is well carbonated. Overall a mess of the style, way hot.
However, if they added more hops and turned this into a Belgian IPA, it would be fantastic.

Appearance - Pours a VERY hazy golden color with an inch thick, soapy white head that lingers for a couple minutes. Leaves a nice thick, creamy lacing.
Smell - Has a musty funk aroma that is most dominant. Light spices and citrus seem to be present as well
Taste - Spices come through much stronger up front, with a very strong and sweet honey flavor. Banana, clove, orange citrus, and pepper are also detectable. And a fairly strong alcohol bite in the finish.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with high carbonation.
Overall - The sweet honey flavor is a little overbearing in my opinion.. but I think this may be how tripels are intended to be? I have only tried a couple others and they were very similar to this.

Review from 9/2010 notes. Poured into a Nostradamus flute glass. Pours a murky yellow-orange amber. Thin white head but nice lacing. Mild malt and spice aroma. Malt, light fruits, light lemon, belgian yeast and spice. Finishes dryer and less complex than most Belgian tripels. Tasty, but not quite up to the level of a Belgian. Good, pleasant backup tripel.
