A-hazy gold color with a very large white head that fades slowly and leave a great lace on the glass
S- Spice, some citrus, and hop aroma
T-hops comes though the spice and malty flavor, with some citrus in there also. Has a hop bitterness in the aftertaste with a spice and pepper taking over in the finish
M-medium body and high carbonation
O-the hops in this Tripel was nice but would liked to have not so much hops. It had all the spicy , peppery, and other flavors of a tripel, and by the name I guess that was the taste that was being shot at. Nice Alabama beer! Make one without all the hops I will try it.

Pours an effervescent gold/amber with a pinky of pearl colored head. Good lacing & head retention
S: Pears, appleskins & cereal notes, some perfumy hops as well
T: Pineapple, slightly boozey breadyness, grassy notes, & wet cereal up front. Bitterness is pronounced as this warms, some aspirin, some grapefruit, white grape & canned pears as well, more porridge type flavors as well & little bit of honey crisp apple. Finishes with pineapple, pears & a bit of grapefruit
MF: Medium bodied, slight carbonation
An alright tripel, but I wouldn't buy this again

Poured from the bottle into a large tulip on 4/18/13. From the pour this beer produces piles of bone-white head the fervently resists assimilation back into the beer. It also leave thick cobwebs of sticky lacing all over the glass. The liquid itself is quite dense, hazy and boasts the color of butternut squash or a ripe pumpkin. Light penetration is minimal, but holding it to the light gives the beer a bright, cheerful note to it. The nose is quite active and zippy thanks to the carbonation of the beer. The Belgian yeast produces some great clove and maybe a minimal banana smell, but there is some hop synergy going on in there too. There is some bright fruits like oranges and melons on the nose as well. Really good smells going on there. The first taste I got was watermelon; first time I've ever gotten that one out of a beer. There was also a lot of sweet peaches and cream flavors going on as well. Bitterness was there to balance it out as well. The mouthfeel was the typical dry-as-concrete champagne feel to it and very good carbonation. Light bodied overall. This beer was really great; the hops in the beer really produced a great synergy to the nose and the flavors of the beer to give some good, unique character to the beer.
