A: bright gold without any haze. im actually surprised that there is no haze here. carbonation is crazy. a multitude of different sized bubbles. finer bubbles pushing around larger. fluffy white head sits proudly on top.

S: soft fruit and cracked black pepper. trying hard to discern more complexity, but cant get anything distinctive.

T: some of that same soft fruit sensed in the nose. a little bit of banana and pear. a touch of alcohol. the finish dissipates relatively quickly, especially for the style.

M: gentle carbonation on a body that is a little bit too light. spicy tingle on the finish.

D: a good brew, but im struggling to draw a significant amount of similarities to a tripel.

Pours a cloudy gold with a spirited four fingers of soft foamy head. Recedes slowly leaving behind lots of clinging lace.This tripel is down to brass tacks with a sweet yeast nose, sweet fruit, banana and some floral and spice from the understated hops. A little alcohol as well. On the nose it lacks brightness and elan. Malt is subtle and doesn’t over contribute leaving an earthiness underneath. On the palate it’s smooth and buttery but leaves a touch bitter and with more of an alcohol taste than there really should be. It’s a good strong tripel but it felt like it was lacking in refinement and luster.
