750 ml bottle into globe glass, best by 12/06/2013. Pours hazy golden straw color with a fairly dense 2 finger white head with good retention that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Some spotty lacing clinging to the glass as well. Aromas of big pepper, clove, pils malt, bread, light candi sugar, lemon, citrus, and spicy yeast. Nice and fairly standard aromas with good strength and balance. Taste of big lemon, pepper, citrus, clove, biscuit, light candi sugar, and spicy yeast. Lingering notes of lemon, pepper, clove, citrus, an spicy yeast on the finish for a bit. Medium carbonation and body; with a slightly creamy and smooth mouthfeel. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming after the finish. Very easy to drink for the level of alcohol. Overall this is an excellent and well put together Tripel style that is very easy to drink. I really have no complaints.

An excellent Tripel style offering. Nothing really groundbreaking, but still tasty.
