It's Crisp...perhaps too much so. That plus the alcohol bite, makes this just average in this department

Overall Impression:
This is a great starter Tripel for Newbeez, but those already familiar with the style may find it to be average at best. It IS a great value, and it is from one of our local breweries, so give it a shot.
