look: 3 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
A: pours a clear yellow-gold with a finger of white head that recedes into a thin ring with little lacing.

S: light Belgian spice notes up front with some bubblegum and candy sugar aromas. Light fruit aromas (pears and bananas) follow with a sweet, bready finish.

T: Belgian spices up front again followed by light bubblegum and candy sugar flavors. Some slight fruit flavors in the middle with a bready finish.

M: medium body with high-ish carbonation, this beer is a little on the thick side for my tastes, but not so much so that it's unenjoyable like many American tripels.

O: a pretty decent tripel, especially for a new brewery. It's a bit on the thick and sweet side for me (which I've come to expect from most American tripels), but not extremely so.
