CAN
Creamy white foam over slightly hazy deep gold; big zesty orange nose with grainy undertones; fresh country loaf, a bunch of orange zest, pear esters, mild spice end; smooth, round, clean.

Saaz; Orange Zest
Too citrussy, and not enough esters or especially phenols to give it tripel character. It’s all soft focus where it should be clean edges - mellow and easy to the point of being inoffensive.
The thing is, they know it: “...a pretty minimal pepper and clove ferment profile instead fermenting on the lower end of the temp spectrum to help compliment that orange citrus before giving it another light and restrained complimentary dry zest addition of orange..”
This is the beer Whiplash wanted to make - what’s not clear to me is why.
Too far off style for me.
