A: bright golden copper color with no head. Medium amount of carbonation bubbles up the side of the glass. I scored it lower because there was no head.

S: sweet, honey, bread and caramel.

T: Immediate alcohol flavor, then malt, sour fruit, more alcohol, then sweet, then bread.

M: sharp carbonation, coats the tounge, very creamy.

O: very drinkable, I really like this one

Pretty good take on a Tripel. Poured a hazy orange/light amber color into my Chimay goblet. The delicately bubbly head vanishes quickly with little lacing on the glass.

Smell is light fruit, apples, pears, apricot. Some pepper and Belgian yeast here as well. Pretty good.

Taste is very good. The light fruit, Belgian yeast, pepper are all readily apparent. Could have used even more yeastiness. Some of my favorite Tripels (both Belgian and American) have a taste almost like ripe cheese associated with the yeast.

Mouthfeel is rich, the spices do their thing. A slight more alcohol burn than I am used to with a good Tripel but it is not that off-putting.

Good Tripel, nice slow sipping beer. Well worth a try.
