Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a chalice style glass.
Pours crystal clear pale orange with very minimal white head. Foam disappears quickly and goes to a thin ring around the edges of the glass. Very light lacing.
Aromas of sweet malts & esters come through a base of something like green apple and fruit.
Flavors are somewhat typical in that the Belgian yeasty flavors and that interesting spicy note that mingles with a light fruitiness. Also missing is the subtle sweetness - instead, the sweetness is foremost on the tongue with no subtly in site. The finish is also sweet with a slight linger of something like a clove spice.
Mouthfeel is rather course due to the fairly high carbonation. The higher gravity is masked well, probably due to the sweetness.
The brew is enjoyable and is probably what I have come to expect from an "American Tripel". There are better Trips out there but this one isn't too bad.
