Served in a tulip glass from the a vintage 2019 bottle.
Appearance: Semi hazy lager like body which it's bottom sediments created a cloudy demeanor to the beer.
Smell: White wine aroma which dissipates quickly.
Taste: Grape juice with hints of leaf and doses of yeast. Feels like a raising bread without the cinnamon.
Mouth: Medium to full carbonation. Very sticky semi sour sticky feel.
Overall: Descent brew. It's semi sweetness makes it very attractive but regardless still lacks that extra punch you crave when you have a Belgian not American tripel. Always in a glass...Salud!

Pours and looks like any pale ale with a head that quickly disappears. Smell is of mild hops and a bit of peach. Taste smacks of lemon and unripe peaches. Mouthfeel is substantial. The booze is not hidden, though at 11% that's understandable. Muscat Love kind of feels like a more complex, upscale Steel Reserve at 4 times the price. The difference being you could never drink a Steel Reserve at 45 degrees F.

Brewed in 2016, pours very cloudy bright gold color with a off white 1 finger foamy head that faded average to quickly leaving, minimal spotty lacing.
Smells of yeast, wheat bread, caramel, pepper, light clove, lemon zest, coriander, sweet malt and orange peel. Hints of the alcohol and a touch of funk give it a nice Belgian touch.
Tastes brings honey, floral hops, white wine, allspice and brown sugar to the party, which joins up to dance with the yeast, toasted wheat, caramel, pepper, light clove, lemon zest, coriander, sweet malt and orange peel. The alcohol is always present and warming, but the funk and musty notes tame the spices for a smooth Belgian finish that's dry and on the spicy side.
Mouthfeel is thin and watery with flat carbonation and a smooth creamy feel. Overall a nice tasty Triple which excels at being simple yet quite enjoyable and easy to drink.

Pours a golden color with a short dense white head that settled into a solid ring.
The aroma is musty with notes of clove. Light tart wine scent. Pleasant.
The taste is of clove and bubblegum from the yeast. Some raw sugar notes. A light musty grape flavor. I thought it had more grape flavor when I tried it when it first came out. Some grassy bitterness in the finish.
The feel is light but holds well. Very fizzy carbonation. Sweet and lightly tart on the palate. Drinks quite well. Good change up brew.
A good Belgian beer, GSB got this right. It could use more of the Muscat Grape flavor.

The aroma offers banana, sweet malts, spicy, and phenolic.
The flavor follows of a tripel, drinkable, yet dangerous. Orange, banana, hints of grape, sweet malts, lots of cabonation with a spicy dry finish.

Enjoyed on tap at the brewery and now reviewing a mid sized bottle ($10 each) purchased at the source.
"Brewed in 2015" on the label
Pours lightly hazed dull tangerine, light khaki head, that stays well and leaves behind a thin collar, some minor low sheeting and some delicate strands of lace.
On the nose its Belgian yeasty goodness, phenols, bubble gum, yum
More of the same on the old palate. Yeasty goodness, bubble gum phenols.....love the style and this is a very respectable take. Nice balance between the sweet fruity goodness and the crisp hoppy dryness that comes in late. All wrapped around all that flavor and complexity...fine brew....glad I bought two bottles
