One of the few interesting things available at the store I stopped by... Paired it with a fresh salad and shrimp scampi over orzo.

Appearance: pours a pale gold color, mostly clear with some haze (probably hadn't had enough time to settle after traveling). Nice big head, good lace. Pretty much what you expect from a Belgian golden ale.

Smell: It's amazing how distinctive Belgian yeast smells. Lots of that Belgian character, sweet citrus, some spicy hops in the background.

Taste: not as complex as a tripel should be, but not bad.Sweet at the front, but finishes nicely on a dry note. Some fruit and yeast flavors, and a bit of spice. Some alcohol, as well.

Mouthfeel: On the high side of the carbonation scale, light-medium body.

Drinkability: Above average for sure, but (at least at the price I paid for it) too expensive to want to buy again.

A - Pours a clear, vibrant, medium gold color with strong carbonation and a nice thick layer of white creamy foam.

S - Light fruity presence along with a delicate pale malt aroma. Overall smells dry on the nose.

T - Follows the nose (big surprise, huh?). Light pale malt presence with a little bit of sweetness and light fruityness on the tongue.

M - Medium body with soft carbonation that finishes dry on the tip of the tongue while the rest of the mouth waters.

O - Decent but not a stand out. I could see myself throwing a few of these back when they're ice cold on a hot day.

Picked up an 11.2 oz bottle from TW Greenville, SC 6-28-21 for $4.25. Best before 12-11-23; consumed 8-18-21.

Beer poured a clear golden with a very nice white head that has maintained thru the first few sips.

Nose is light fruit esters and pale malts.

Taste follows the nose with a medium light pale malt base that displays the apple and pear esters playing off the yeast beautifully. Finishes dry and balanced with adequate floral hopping; 5/10 on my bitterness scale.

Mouthfeel is wonderfully light and refreshing, true to the style.

Overall a very nice beer, glad i came across this one!

L - Pale straw-gold pour with white head disappearing to a thin lace

S - Mango, pineapple, apricot, spicy yeast

T - Lemon/orange, coriander bitterness, light grains, grassy hops

F - Fine, stinging carbonation, dry mouthfeel

Nose is quite sweet and juicy, but actually drinking it gives you a pleasant dry, clean tripel.

Couldn't believe I had missed this one, excited to finally give it a try. Somewhat foggy yellow body with a white head and light lazy lacing. Smells of belgian yeast first and foremost, giving off banana, black pepper, flowers, pear esters, and crusty white bread. Taste is much the same but with some earthy spice, maybe clove, in the finish, peppery features emerge more and more as it warms. Feel is soft, light, yeasty, and smooth. Classic
