Grabbed a bottle in 2018 in Austin at.
Finally opened 2years later.
Extraordinary delicious Belgian Triple. Soft gentle carb with a velvety smooth body. Excellent floral nose and woody Belgian Triple taste. Just a marvelous, delicious and and wonderful sipper. So far better than expectations. So wish I could have More.

Appearance: Medium golden yellow body, surmounted by a large, very dense and persistent white head. The lacing is, appropriately, classically Belgian. Profuse, very fine beaded carbonation races to the surface, this lofts a small amount of sediment.

Aroma: Coriander, floral, pine, and grapefruit hops, and light fruit dominate the aroma, along with restrained sweet alcohol, notable in light of the rather high ABV of 9.8%. The malt contributes a substantial home-made white bread aroma. There is also a mild white pepper note.

Taste: Opens with coriander, and a surge of herbal and pine hops, soon followed by a wave of sweet alcohol, which is pleasantly warming. The coriander is an amiable companion throughout the taste. Later in the taste, there is some bitter apple rind, and white pepper flavors, complimented by the sweetness of the alcohol and malt. Late in the taste, the hops and bitter apple rind rise to dominance. The mild bitterness and sweet undercurrent of alcohol and malt bring the taste to a gracious close.

Mouth feel: Smooth, soft, quite full, with a little zesty carbonation.

Drinkability/notes: A very nice example, with a bit of a twist, being somewhat more aggressively hopped than many examples of the style. This would be an elegant presentation for a holiday dinner.

Presentation: Packaged in a 750 ml brown glass Belgian bomber with a pry-of crown, served in a New Belgium Brewing chalice.
