22oz bomber. no date or batch code found. tasted in late may/early june 2009. poured into tulip.

deep golden honey color w orangey amber tones. almost clear, with flaky sediment, despite decanting with more than 1cm left behind in the bottle. 2-finger near-white head fades to wisps and ring. 2 thin rings of webby lace and some splotches.

aroma: fruity apple, pear and faint hints of peach skin and... pineapple? sweet, caramelized, bready malt meets euro hops, which are earthy, leafy, grassy, with herbal notes. gentle phenols carry some anise and peppery spices.

taste: bready, caramelized malt, with slightly less fruitiness. quite a bit more phenolic, but still relatively controlled. euro hopping gives moderate bitterness, as phenols come back with some spice in the finish.

light to medium body, not too thin, decently smooth, with touch of acidic and astringent textures, accentuated by the phenols for a crispness that goes along with the carbonation, which is slightly fizzy, but can be momentarily creamy.

L: Pours golden with a very slight haze under a thin, white foam collar that has some cling. S: fruit, apricot, yeast driven, grain, sugar T: Fruit first then segues into caramel, faint alcohol burn on the end, sweet in the middle. There is some orange, apricot, and a faint touch of honey with a long lingering honey aftertaste. There are just enough hops to give it some structure and balance. F: Fine soft carbonation, medium carbonation, medium body O: A triple with some character.

Light, slightly sour; body doesn't really carry its apv. Not unlike an artisanal 8% Budweiser. Certainly not unpleasant, but I was expecting more.

A - orange murky amber color with no head and no carbonation.

S - mildly sweet milky and like a whisky I can't name. Hints of abv burn and candied figs or carmeled apples. It's very faint.

T - not bad. Flavors are weak but they got the idea right. No off flavors or blanket hops. It is not as good as real Belgian triples but it is a good imitation

M - abv has a bit of sting but still fine for this style.

D - for $4 it's cheaper than a flight to brussles you couldn't tell it's a knockoff... But only if you drank several.

Thanks to wishuwerebeer for sharing this '07 bomber. Poured into a snifter, the brew appears a clear golden with faint spotty yeast particulate stuck in suspension. White froth is quick to recede from the initial finger formation. A swirl releases a few bubbles that hardly form a lacing across the top yet it does produce some spotty lace on the glass.

The smell is reminiscent of pear skins and apple with a light spicy hints of clove. A little more reminiscent of cider in the aroma than the expected tripel. Mild pepper comes out once warm with a bit of cheese. Overall this is very apple forward in the nose.

Tastes mildly spicy from the Belgian yeast contribution. Apple cider is hinted throughout with both suggestions of skin and fleshy apples. Cloves and pepper providing a supporting role to break up the ale flavoring and bring the focus back into the expected tripel character. Pale biscuit malt gives a bready aftertaste which is enjoyable.

This is a medium bodied brew with a modest level of carbonation. Nice drinkability with little to no abv impact despite it being 8% and allowed to gradually warm up. Overall this is very mild tripel with solid focus on apple flavoring that was an interesting experience. Not my favorite in the style but enjoyable nonetheless.

pours a deep brown-yellow, like most tripels should.

Smell is nothing impressive, but my sense of smells sucks and I'm not sniffing my beers, I am drinking them.

Pleasant taste and mouthfeel. I try a LOT of tripels, this is nothing extraordinairy, but nothing to be overlooked either. Ranks high on my list of tripels.

If you are a fan of belgian ales and/or tripels, add this to your list to try. It won't be the best, but it will be very good.
