    It's a fine beer, but I definitely regret throwing down $25 or whatever I paid for it. Nothing special.

    Edit: I guess I should say what I liked/didn't like about it:
    It's a bit of a hoppier take on the tripel style. They used noble hops, and you get a fair bit of citrus esters with some of the grassy hop notes. That said, I didn't think it came together quite right. You'll get a much better (and much cheaper) Triple if you stick with a classic such as Tripel Karmeliet or Westmalle.

    I would scoop it up in a heartbeat. My bottle shop in Indiana has it at $39.99!!! $22.99 is a steal!

    $14 here in the UK. $40 is preposterous.

    I say go for it. Had this at a recent tasting and really enjoyed it.

    I picked up a bottle a while back, and while I really enjoyed it, I don't think it's worth the price tag. I'm glad I bought it once, but I don't think I'll ever grab any more.

    But on the downside, you have to live in Indiana.
