i think larry bell did a fine job with this one. appearance lacks a little... pale golden with a head that has minimal retention and little lace. smells is great. sweet bread, some clove, spice, and a little hop. just like a tripel should. reminds me a little bit of st. bernardus tripel. tastes almost the same. maybe it should get more points. mouthfeel is just short of belgian classic. i know they call it bubbly, but it doesn't seem as live going down as my favorite tripels. easy drink, and you'd never know it was an 8% abv beer. overall, i'm very pleased, and am glad that an american made a belgian style beer that doesn't suck. it seems like bell's can do no wrong, and i really hope they keep it up!!!
