Tripel Perfection poured a cloudy, golden straw color with a thumb width, white head.  The aroma has a little pale malt, with green apple notes and a lot of citrus and spices.  The body is smooth; a perfect blend of a malt base with a touch of sweetness, and plenty of citrus (heavy on the orange). 
The finish has a huge amount of big spices that leaves a lingering dryness.  Overall, this is a great take on the Tripel style.  The beer is balanced, flavorful, layered, and drinks very easily for a beer of its strength.  The carbonation on this beer is a little high due to the bottle re-fermentation, but letting the beer warm for a little will help bring it down a notch.    

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
