Enjoyed on-tap at Stub and Herbs in Minneapolis, MN. Served in a snifter this beer yielded a pale pinkish to red body with no foam. Aroma was tart citrus fruit. Light bodied mouthfeel with tart fruit flavors. Not bad for a fruit beer, but not my favorite style.

Serving type: on-tap

Had on tap at The Happy Gnome.

No head or lacing at all. Ruby red color.

Grainy with light fruity lingonberries.

Bitter fruit from the lingonberries. Tart and uncomplex. Styrafoam taste here. Not sure if it's from the berries, but it's not that great. This isn't what I had in mind from a triple.

Thin and flat. No carbonation at all. Less than medium bodied. Very dry finish.

My first beer from Lift Bridge and I'm very disappointed. Reminded me of a non-carbonated wine cooler. Maybe I had a bad glass, but I'll stay away from this one for now.

Review on iPod so please forgive. On tap at The Muddy Pig. Pours a light red color with no head or lacing. Aroma is fruity, lightly tart. Flavor has a nice berryness to it a touch of strawberry and cherry. Very refreshing. I can't believe this is 8.5%! Very drinkable. Good stuff.

Style: Infused Belgian Triple Ale

Had this on tap at Indulge(multiple servings to get the full experience of the beer). Served into my mini-over-sized wine type glass.

Due to the small pour, it really didn't have much head. Color is a clear cherry pink. Very appealing. The brewers said no artificial coloring was used.

Aroma: They made this beer with lingonberries, and I can definitely smell them. Cloves, some random spices, pears. Very great smelling tripel. Unique.

Taste: The lingonberries are well blended into this beer, as they are not overpowering. Cloves, pears, bready malts. Very fruity, almost tarty.

Mouthfeel: Medium carbonation. Light to medium bodied. Very tart and sweet. Leaves a nice fruity aftertaste. Makes the lips pucker.

Overall, this was a great tripel. Love the berries in here. I will have to find more of it, but I know it will be hard to. Great brew and I see that it was a great candidate for best in show, as it took the 'gold' home.

Serving type: bottle
