Steve Meurett/For Wisconsinoutdoorfun.com
My pilot Beverly Paulan from the Wisconsin DNR kept apologizing. We'd circle and circle, wingtip pointed to the ground in an ever tightening noose around the radio collar signal. Leafless trees and remnant patches of snow remained below, but our elusive quarry kept out of sight-they are seemingly getting better at it.
I was fortunate enough to be able to join Beverly on another wildlife survey flight for the DNR. Rain during the week had snuffed out her fire protection duties, so it was back to checking on collared wolves, whooping cranes and trumpeter swans.
I'd hoped this early spring day may reward me with a few photographs of canis lupus below, but as it turned out, they stayed hidden. I deflected the apologies, stressing rather that cruising above the west central part of the state at 1500 feet on a beautiful morning was reward enough and about the best possible way to start a day.
There is something mesmerizing about viewing the landscape from this perspective-intriguing patterns formed by deer trails across marshes, the old meanders of streams and rivers through flood plain and even man-made ones on farm fields and forest trails. It was interesting seeing the progression of ice-out on various ponds, lakes and rivers as we flew overhead as well.
The main goal of the flight was to locate radio pings from collared wolves in an ongoing study. It's captivating to see where they have moved from one week to another or if they stayed in a home range. Sadly, three of them had been shot since I flew with Beverly just last year-it's difficult to make it as a wolf in this part of the state, apparently. Some have survived two hunting seasons, poachers, cars and even an air guard bombing range. It's pretty amazing, really, all things considered.

Even narrowing a strong signal down to an acre below the plane, or even a clump of trees, their natural camouflage in the drab spring forest kept them concealed. For us, disappointing. For them, probably, a good thing to have learned.
It seemed a pair of endangered whooping cranes decided to take up residence in Juneau County, somewhat encouraged by locals who fed them, not in the bird's best interest (or the nearby F-16s).
Whooping cranes continue to struggle in their recovery-a couple steps forward and a few backward apparently, a frustration for the restoration staff. While sandhill cranes have done very well in Wisconsin and elsewhere, whooping cranes, although similar, lead more complex lives hampering recovery.
Besides their bright white plumage, making concealment difficult, whoopers are also more territorial than their smaller cousins. While sandhills do well in agricultural areas, whooping cranes prefer wetlands and are not as adaptive in diet, also compromising survivability. This pair near Highway 94 most likely will have to be captured and relocated for their safety and that of the pilots in military airspace nearby. Too bad some in the area are treating the pair of birds as 'theirs' and as a result, endangering them.
After discovering that this pair had not nested yet and recording their location, we began the flight back, taking us over the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge, home to over 30 whooping cranes and small groups of trumpeter swans.
Once known as the 'Great Wisconsin Swamp' the refuge was established in 1939 and home to many threatened and endangered species. Our flight path allowed a good view of one of the largest restored oak savannahs in the state, crucial for redheaded woodpecker and Karner Blue butterfly habitat. The 44,000 acre 'swamp' is a maze of old canals, ponds, marshes and scattered patches of timber.
Every scrap of water seemed to have local and migrating waterfowl on it and I constantly misidentified trumpeter swans as whoopers from above. Capturing any images was challenging shooting from the plane and we didnt want to close the distance too much and change their behavior.
Browse sandhill crane, prairie chicken, snowy owl, pelican, loon, goose, eagle, whooping crane, tundra swan, heron, turkey, cardinal, blue jay, woodpecker, hummingbird and other bird photos.
With the autopilot set, the aircraft departed for its home base in Eau Claire. The steady flight back provided an opportunity to just take in the view and for myself to try and identify where exactly we were by dead reckoning from landmarks passing below. I became more comfortable with the self-assigned task once we reached Clark, Eau Claire and Trempealeau Counties, my stomping grounds.
Spotting a pair of young eagles spiraling and chasing each other, I was struck at how fascinating it was to observe them from above! This perspective also allowed an informal survey of how the turkey population faired the harsh winter and from the lack of toms displaying in the hundreds of fields we passed, the conclusion I drew was not well.
In fact, we spotted many more deer than turkey in open areas, which was a surprise.
All to soon the small plane arrived back at the Chippewa Valley Regional Airport and taxied to the hanger. Observation data would be recorded and observations passed along to various researchers as part of Paulans duties.
The second plane stationed here was out working bald eagle surveys, a species, unlike the cranes wed observed, has been very successful in their reestablishment. Although as a photographer, Id have liked to have made a few more images from the aerial vantage point, Id stowed plenty away in my mind from this trip and sometimes that is just as satisfying.

|Lebanon to return Majid's body to Saudi Arabia
A Lebanese judicial official on Friday ordered the body of a Saudi suspected of leading an al-Qaeda-linked group handed to the Saudi embassy, a week after his death in custody.
"The body of Majid al-Majid will be handed to the embassy of Saudi Arabia, and will then be repatriated," prosecutor Samir Hammoud, who ordered the handover, told AFP.
Majid was the suspected head of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, which claimed responsibility for a November attack on the Iranian embassy in Beirut that killed 25 people.
He died last week, days after his detention by the Lebanese military.
Earlier on Tuesday, Iranian Justice Minister Mostafa Pourmohammadi, in a letter to Lebanese caretaker Justice Minister Shakib Qortbawi, expressed Tehran's readiness to send a judicial team to help with the investigation into Majid's death.
A judicial source told AFP on condition of anonymity that Majed suffered from kidney disease and was in poor health when he was detained.
The Iranian embassy in Beirut requested access to Lebanon's investigation into the double suicide bombing.
In 2009, Lebanon handed Majid a life sentence in absentia after convicting him of membership of another al-Qaeda-inspired group, Fatah al-Islam.

In October of 2002, the Washington D.C. area was terrorized by a series of sniper shootings that claimed ten lives. On October 24, the perpetrators, John Allen Muhhamad and Lee Boyd Malvo, were found sleeping in their car and arrested on federal weapons charges. A look at the case in photos.
Last Saturday, 38-year-old New York City Vindalee Smith was on the brink of new happiness — she was due to give birth to her fifth child in a few weeks; the next day she was to be married. Instead, she was found brutally murdered in her apartment. Underneath her bloody body, police found a note reading: "I will kill 1 pregnant woman a month starting now until Lee Boyd Malvo is set free!"

Right now, dozens of families are anxiously watching their premature babies breathe with the help of an incubator rat WakeMed's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Some of them have been there for months now, sleeping and eating there around the clock. But thanks to a newly expanded unit, WakeMed is making the families feel a little more at home.
Alicia King gave birth to her twins Thomas and William three months too premature and has been by their side since.
When they were born her twins weighed less than two pounds, now they're healthy and gaining weight.
But for Crystal Suber, she's exactly where Alicia King was four months ago. Her son, Semaj, was born weighing just under a pound in January.
"He didn't really look human. He was so small, so tiny. But he's doing good now," Suber said.
The 2-month-old boy is now surviving with the help of an oxygen device and an incubator.
Semaj sometimes has trouble breathing but periodically his tiny hands move back and forth, showing signs of strength and life.
"I didn't want to lose him. So, I asked them to do everything they could to keep him. They did," said Suber.
All she can do now, is wait.
WakeMed delivers more than 7,500 babies a year. Approximately 600 of them are premature, high risk babies.
They recently expanded the Level IV NICU by 12 beds, bringing the total now to 48 beds. Along with a new design and state-of-the-art upgrades, the new unit introduces "single-room care" for NICU patients.
This is a significant expansion for a NICU, and WakeMed is the first hospital in the area to now offer private rooms in a NICU setting.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
There are nearly 100 million unmarried people in the U.S., hundreds of thousands of singles in Charlotte alone.
And yet, if you are one of them, you know...it can be really hard to find love.
"There are so many good people out there, and love is just the one thing that they're seeking," says Carolina Matchmaker's Laurie Berzack.
Berzack is quickly gaining the reputation of matchmaker extraordinaire in our area. She says the pool of available people isn't the problem, and she's building quite the bank of local singles to prove it.
"They're busy they've got wonderful careers they're attractive," she says. "They're very marketable but they've tapped out their networks, and so they're tapping into mine, and that's the beauty of it. They know by the time they sit down at a table with someone I've matched them with, it has real potential for being the real thing."
One of Berzack's clients – we'll call her Jess - moved to North Carolina from New York with the man she thought she'd marry. When it didn't work out, she found Berzack.
"We laugh about this, because I called her crying," Jess recalls. "And I said I just broke up with my boyfriend, but do I have to leave the south?"
Berzack's advice: of course not. But she did tell Jess to be careful. While millions turn to E-Harmony and Match, sites without human filters have setbacks.
"People lie online," Berzack says. "They lie about their age, they lie about their height, their weight. I'm meeting people face-to-face."
Jess says Berzack's input is invaluable. "One thing she said to me recently that I loved was just look right into their soul. You know, you don't get those reminders when you're on J-date or Match dot com, and you're just like click click click.
Says Berzack: "It can be difficult, going through this whole dating scene. And sometimes people get low, and I'm their cheerleader. I want them to have success. I want them to find somebody they love and that they can spend their rest of their lives with."
"That's a matchmaker," says Jess. "That's an art that not everybody has and a computer doesn't have that."
Berzack's level of attention will cost much more than online dating. So far, Jess says it's worth it.

UPDATE -- Good news for fantasy football owners: Cam Newton scored a rushing touchdown on the Panthers opening drive of the first half.
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is making plays with his arm and his legs in the first half vs. the Redskins on Sunday. Newton's fantasy stats include 100+ yards passing and 34 rushing yards so far.
He does not have a touchdown (rushing or passing) yet, but he knocked on the doorstep in the first half, scrambling on 3rd-and-goal, but getting stopped short. But fantasy football owners can be glad that Newton has not turned the ball over yet either.
Newton was averaging 308 passing yards a game with 1,847 passing yards on the season and 7 touchdowns through his first six games of the 2011 NFL season. Newton also has 6 rushing touchdowns.
Newton was ranked by Yahoo! as the 3rd ranked quarterback heading into Week 7 taking on the Washington Redskins who rank 9th against the pass.

The director of the South Carolina Department of Social Services has resigned, a day before senators planned to take up a no-confidence resolution on her leadership.
Gov. Nikki Haley accepted Lillian Koller's resignation Monday morning.
"It has become more and more apparent to me during the past few weeks that my being the State Director is causing a distraction and making it more difficult for DSS to continue the measurable improvements made to the Agency during my tenure that have improved the lives of the citizens we serve," said Koller's resignation letter.
A House resolution calling for Koller's resignation last week cites concerns and complaints raised in the summer and fall of 2012 about leadership and the direction of DSS. That was just a year and a half after Koller started. It was then the Legislative Committee on Children received a disturbing report on child death statistics.
At an October 2013 public hearing of the Joint Citizens and Legislative Committee on Children, a SLED investigation revealed out of 472 death investigation cases, 312 had a DSS case involving abuse or neglect prior to the death. While there have been repeated calls for Koller's resignation, the most recent came last week.
"The failure of leadership is nothing short of a crisis," said Rep. James Smith (D-Richland), "and it is time to stop."
An audit had been requested by the South Carolina Legislative Audit Council. That established the Senate DSS Oversight Committee that has been conducting public hearings and an ongoing investigation of DSS.
Koller testified at just two of the hearings with her last appearance being two weeks ago. She was scheduled to testify a third time this week.
During her last hearing, Koller acknowledged that many workers' caseloads were too large. The Governor's Office has recommended a corrective action plan. That plan calls for hiring 20 new workers immediately for instant casework relief. Koller's resignation comes a day before senators planned to take up a no-confidence resolution on her leadership.
Her critics say the timing of her announcement is not a coincidence.
Haley, meanwhile, has repeatedly backed Koller, despite calls for her ousting.
"Lillian Koller is a dedicated public servant and child advocate, and a wonderful and loving mother - and I am so grateful for her service to South Carolina," said Haley in a statement released to the media. "Under her leadership, DSS closed a $28 million deficit, moved more than 20,000 South Carolinians from welfare-to-work, and has done wonders to improve our foster care system, placing more South Carolina children in stable, healthy families.
Koller's legislative critics said their efforts have not been politically motivated but part of an attempt to straighten out an agency that veered off course some time ago and has not been performing as well as numbers released by the director seem to indicate.
Koller becomes the fifth cabinet agency head in less than two years to be removed or step down prematurely. Those other departments include the Revenue Department, Employment and Workforce, Transportation Department, and Insurance.
Richland County Sen. Joel Lourie and Kershaw Sen. Vincent Sheheen were both asked about legislative responsibility in confirming appointees. The suggestion was there that lawmakers could have looked harder at Koller's background when similar questions about her leadership surfaced in Hawaii.
Deputy State Director for Economic Services Amber Gillum will serve as interim director until Haley appoints a replacement. Gillum has been deputy state director for DSS since September and previously served as division director at the agency for two years. She also worked in Washington State as a performance analyst in the governor's office and as a Workfirst program coordinator with Washington State Office of Financial Management, among other jobs dating back to 1998.
Gillum graduated with a bachelor's degree from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash., and has a master's degree in public administration from the same college. She is also a Cascade Executive Management Program graduate from the University of Washington in Seattle.

Im sure you all know Adrien Broner has recently been arrested. However footage just dropped of this guy eating pussy on stage in a strip club and flushing $20 bills down the toilet. I just hope his "big bro" Floyd talks some sense into him because he is destroying himself. THe consequences may be far down the road however they will com if he continues on this path of self destruction. These videos are heart breaking. You were blessed with athletic talent. Blessed enough to put your family and yourself in a great financial space, why cant you just chill. Foolish...

I hope to see Broner do great things with his life and the sport in the future. And i hope he learns form his mistakes.

Self destruction lmao? So your a social worker now? He flushed 60 bucks in the toilet man. He achieved his ultimate goal. The mans headlined 2 fights for HBO and hes already doing 1.5 mil views. This lil video will probably bring a couple hundred thousand more. So basically it cost him 60 bucks to turn in a bigger number than he did for HBO. By the way I didnt see Broner stick his tongue in any strippers pussy either.

The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey is the new IT title. Get on the hold list now before it explodes and keep your eye out for Lucky Day copies. I started the title last night and could barely put it down to sleep. Cassie is alone, totally alone. In this sci fi alien invasion novel, Cassie must do the unthinkable - trust - in order to save her brother! Goodreads describes the book as "The Passage Meets Ender's Game."
From the book:
"After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one."
It is a sad fact that illegal drugs are readily available in our society. Here are some books that look at this controversial issue:
Tweak by Nic Sheff: Nic details his immersion in a world of hardcore drugs, revealing the mental and physical depths of addiction, and the violent relapse one summer in California that forever changed his life, leading him down the road to recovery.
Crank by Ellen Hopkins: Kristina Georgia Snow is the perfect daughter: gifted high school junior, quiet, never any trouble. But on a trip to visit her absentee father, Kristina disappears and Bree takes her place. Bree is the exact opposite of Kristina. Through a boy, Bree meets the monster: crank. And what begins as a wild ecstatic ride turns into a struggle through hell for her mind, her soul - her life.
Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley: Cullen's summer in Lily, Arkansas, is marked by his cousin's death by overdose, an alleged spotting of a woodpecker thought to be extinct, failed romances, and his younger brother's sudden disappearance.
How I Made it to Eighteen by Tracy White: After putting her fist through the glass, Stacy checks into a mental hospital. She hates it there but she slowly realizes she has to face the reasons for her depression to stop from self-destructing. Based on the author's experiences, How I Made it to Eighteen is a frank portrait of what it's like to struggle with self-esteem, body image issues, drug addiction, and anxiety.
Out of Reach by Carrie Arcos: Accompanied by her brother's friend, Tyler, sixteen-year-old Rachel ventures through San Diego and nearby areas seeking her brother, eighteen-year-old Micah, a methamphetamine addict who ran away from home.
Hole in my Life by Jack Gantos: Gantos relates how, as a young adult, he experimented with drugs and smuggling. He was arrested, did time in prison, and eventually got out and went to college, all the while hoping to become a writer.
Me: Evelyn, a high school junior, first in her class, just visited Planned Parenthood to get birth control so her boobs will get bigger.
Him: Todd, Evelyn's not-exactly-boyfriend.
Them: The Stranger and The Lawyer, otherwise known as Evelyn's father and mother. Neither talks to her.
It: The fetus. Specifically, the fetus inside Evelyn.
Evelyn only found out she was pregnant because Planned Parenthood required her to take a pregnancy test before they'd give her birth control pills. Now she has 39 days to decide whether to get an abortion or keep the baby. Todd's no help, and she can't talk to her distant and fighting parents.
It's almost here! City of Bones will be released August 23rd! In the meantime, enjoy the trailer and READ the book!

Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers: This is the sequel to last year's Grave Mercy, in which Ismae escapeed to a convent that trained her to be an assassin for the god of Death. This new story follows one of the other girls, Sybella, who returns to her childhood home to stop an attempted kidnapping.
The Elite by Kiera Cass: The sequel to The Selection, which involved a reality TV competition to find the new queen. In The Elite, America is one of the top 6 girls but she is still undecided about her conflicting feelings for the prince and for her first love, Aspen.
Game by Barry Lyga: The sequel to I Hunt Killers, where Jazz was trying to make ammends for his serial killer father. In the new one, Jazz travels to New York to help the police track down another killer.
And one more that's not out quite yet:
Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo (out 6/4) is the sequel to Shadow and Bone in which the Darkling trained Alina to destroy the monsters of the Fold. In the sequel, Alina and Mal are hunted as they begin to build an army.

Did you know bees dance? They use this dance to help communicate with other bees in the hive the location of the best flowers or a perfect location for a new hive. This bee waggle is actually part of the bees genetics. Bees start out as nurse bees, taking care of the queen. After a few weeks the gene kicks in and the bees become worker bees and begin foraging for pollen. When bees are looking for a new hive worker bees will scout out potential locations. They come back to the swarm, the group of nurse bees surrounding and protecting the queen bee, and do a dance to show the location of the potential new hive. The bees all begin to do the same dance based on the best location. If one bee doesn't do the dance the other bees will persuade the bee to dance with the rest of the colony. Want to know more? Check out the online database: Science in Context.

Fully furnished efficiency apartment in a home that I built from scratch, by myself. A magical setting bordering the Pisgah National Forest on 12 acres. This "heaven on earth' has such deeply engrained roots. The Appalachian Mountains are the oldest mountains in the world. There is an element of natural healing and personal growth here. Personal transformation, relaxation and enjoyment is inevitalbe. A country setting surrounded by horses, goats, cows, turkeys, countless wildlife, hiking, biking, fishing, or just taking in all that Mother Nature has created for us to enjoy. Get unplugged. Get grounded. If you are asking yourself, "why am I here?, what am I supposed to do?... getting back to what nature has to offer will help you so much. Go to youtube and put in Camp Kathy Kane for more pictures. I am located about 25 minutes North of Asheville and 15 minutes North of Weaverville. Google Weaverville. It's a great litle town. It is best to call to reserve a time slot.

Tom Felton InterviewMovies
May 23, 2004, 12:21 PM
CBBC.com has posted a new interview with Tom Felton(Draco Malfoy). Tom, who will be attending today's premiere of Prisoner of Azkaban , had this to say about the Hermione punch scene in the film:
What's your fave scene?
I quite like the scene where we're up in the hills and I was spying on Hagrid when they're about to slice the Hippogriff's head off and Hermione comes up and, err, teaches me a lesson.
Doesn't she slap you?
No she punches me! They changed it for the film. But she doesn't actually hit me in real life. Me and Emma worked on it for a while to make sure she didn't actually lamp me one. It was fun to film as long as she didn't actually hit me - which she didn't!
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

3.3/5 rDev -10.8%
330ml bottle served chilled in a Delerium Tremens tulip
Pours with a golden yellow body full of tiny little beer bubbles. Thick white puffy head forms about an inch thick, good retention. Lots of bubbly lacing up and down the glass
Smell, chalky dry malt, quite astringent yeast character also on the nose. Some almondy alcoholic vapour alongside a touch of dms. Some faint tropical fruit (passion fruit, pineapple, melon and mango), A few peppery hops in there too
Taste, initially some slight pepperiness from the hops followed by some fairly sweet malt backed up by a dry lingering yeast character towards the finish. Prickly carbonation and fairly crisp mouthfeel, quite a noticable presence of alcohol on the finish along with some peppery hops once again
An odd tripel, noticable hop character, slightly vegetal.... reminds me of a biere de garde actually...

A golden pour with a very generous, white, foamy head. Lots of bubbles going on here. The nose is light and floral with a champagne yeast hint. The mouthfeel is smooth with a dry finish. The taste is mildly sweet with honey and has a nice warm alcohol dryness to it. A little light on the tongue but not to a fault. Overall a decent triple although not in the class of lets say, Westmalle.

Appearance Exceptionally cloudy light yellow body with a gigantic head.
Smell The typical malt and orange aromas come out well. Theres a little sour funk though typical of this brewery.
Taste The malt base is strong and supportive. The (predominantly) orange sweetness lies on top as well. The Petrus sourness comes by for a visit, too.
Mouthfeel Medium-bodied but slow going.
Drinkability This wasnt the best drinker of the bunch.
Comments Their Aged Pale offering capitalized well on the stingy, sour malt flavor of this brewery, but here it just didnt belong.

7.4 oz bottle poured a mostly clear, golden amber body. Head is magnificent, with a two finger, billowy offwhite color. The head slowly fades, and beautiful Brussels sheet lace is all over the goblet.
Aroma features tangerine, lemon, coriander, and a twangy yeast note.
Mouthfeel is tart and dry, moderately carbonated.
Taste is dry and citrusy sour, with a prominent yeasty presence. Not many complexities here, even at room temperature. Lemon and coriander are overwhelmed by the dryness and strong, "twangy" yeast.
Fares poorly when compared to other Belgian Tripels. This is not one that I would try again.

On tap at the Gingerman NYC. Poured almond, semi cloudy, white head, tightly bubbled with well developed lacing. Nose of Peaches , toast and bubblegum. Alcohol noted, slight sourness/tartness, nutty center, unusual triple. The sourness was abit offsetting. Worth a try but not my favorite triple.

Purchased at Ayottes in Hudson, NH February 27, 2009, drank Friday, March 6, 2009. Caged/corked bottle
Poured into a Duvel tulip. Bright vanilla pudding yellow body, huge frothy white head four fingers tall. Still lingering and clinging to the glass for dear life.
Smells funky, with some straw characteristics. Almost like an American macro that has past it's prime, but somehow not as adversive as that sounds.
Tastes a bit funky, sour and of straw. Farm-like, but not farm house.
Highly carbonated, sticky mouthfeel and bitter at the end.
Not a very smooth drinking beer, or one that was very memorable. I'm glad I was able to try it, but won't be looking for this one again.

The beer pours a clear yellow color with a huge white head. The aroma has a good bit of biscuit malt as well as a ton of floral and berry-like hop notes. The flavor is very similar. I get a lot of biscuit and grain notes, with some floral notes. There is also a good dose of grass from the hops. The beer is not too sweet and the alcohol is noticeable, but not overpowering. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Bought on sale for $3.75 from a beer store in Hunt Valley. Reviewed from notes. Poured from an 11.2oz bottle into a standard pint glass. Massive 4 finger head, great head retention and very nice lace. Cloudy golden yellow in color.
Nose- Little hops, cloves, sweetness in the nose like from a flower. Smells like a very solid tripel.
Palate- Lemon zest, citrus. Very active and fine carbonation. Belgian yeast. Slight sweetness. Clove is fairly prominent. Very mild hop profile. Decent, moderately long finish, fairly dry. Booze is well hidden.
Mouthfeel- A bit thin, dry. Very active carbonation.
Drinkability- Fair at 7%, however can be hard to locate.

A caveat before beginning my review: when I opened my bottle, it foamed over for a full two minutes, reducing the amount of leftover beer in the bottle by roughly a quarter. I've rarely had this happen before, and don't have a second bottle to see if this is the result of something I did, or something to do with the beer itself. All I can say is that I pulled it out of the fridge and opened it--there were no drops or shakes or jarring motions.
Having said that, and hoping that the foaming didn't affect the taste, this tripel carries many of the expected aromas for the style: malty sugars and fruits, especially berries, orange and apricot, and smells a lot like a nice champagne.
On the tongue, many of the same flavors dominate, the ale being especially heavy on orange and coriander notes, with a few other light fruit esters thrown in. Some dark brown sugars reside in the background, as well as a good light smattering of hops and a thread of lightly toasted grains.
It is, in other words, a good beer, and well-deserving of the high ratings it's garnered. I'm not sure that it necessarily brings anything new to the table for a tripel, but it does easily rank among the better ales available in this style.

I ordered this beer at the Sharp Edge Creekhouse to complement my Chimay cheese plate. Wow, I never thought cheese could be that complex, but hey what a great pairing with beer. Anyway this beer appears a vibrant glowing gold with an orange tint to it, along with a bright white foaming head. Aroma is huge malty sweetness with great carmel tones, and definite touch of alcohol in the aroma. The taste is full of ester fruit tones that are trademarks of Belgium tirppel ales, but this one is not overly sweet or to overempowering in any way a beautifully balanced beer. Nicely carbonated with a slightly syrupy mouthfeel what an extraordinary beer. Yes, it is way too drinkable I could chill with this beer anytime, awesome.

(Served in a chalice)
A- The beer pours a full glass of off-white foam that eventually boils down to a clear golden yellow body with a gentle carbonation of tiny bubbles.
S- Notes of nectarine skins in the yeasty esters that finishes with some wet stone notes and some ripe fruit notes in the finish.
T- The dry stone fruit flavor has a jam quality to it with some soapy flavors to follow. The taste is very quick with a clean finish brought on by the tight fizz. There is some dry green hops has some unripe fruit notes to it.
M- The medium-light mouthfeel has a full fizz in the mouth with no real alcohol heat noticed.
O- The nice blend of subtle flavors is nice but it is missing more of the classic yeasty flavor or malt or hops that would make this beer a bit more tasty.

An aggressive pfffssssttt upon opening the bottle. The beer pours with as much head as there is beer. My glass is perfectly full of half toasted golden blond liquid and half off white spongy head. Watching the head slowly break down reminds me of the many reasons I love beer. Beautiful. There is a turbulent carbonation that rockets through the translucent liquid.
Smell is like crisp fresh cut green apples mixed with a little champagne. There is an initial sweet nose with a sour pucker at the end of a long whiff. There is a grainy smell that is a mix of cereals, yeast and fruit.
Taste and mouthfeel is impressively creamy. The flavors associated with the smell is muted by a dominate yeast breadiness. It's smooth and silky but dull in the flavor department. There is a mild bitterness but it's underneath a bread blanket.
A satisfying beer but one that's lacking in the flavor department. I like the powdery finish but wish there was more there to back up the look, scent and feel.

The bottle I have came out of a Winter Gift Pack and is labeled Petrus Gouden Tripel Ale.
Pours a pale golden yellow with a nice full finger of white that melts to sticky lacing covering the top of the glass.
Aromas are very atypical Belgium yeasts, a little peppery spice, and powdery bread.
The taste is again, typically Belgium....sharp bite from carbonation and citrus, a lttle pepper, and sweet malts fill the mouth. Definite candy sugars in there.
Aftertaste is clean.
This is a decent triple...but doesn't hold up to the best at all.

750 ML bottle, gold foil over cage & cork. Is that a Belgian Santa on the lable? He sure looks jolly enough!
Light gold, with white and yellow hues. a bright wheat field in the summer coms to mind. slightly hazy, which is expected and understood. The pour was tough, and at only 45 degree's you would not expect an "explosive" pour, but alas...even a very gentle pour amounted to a shit-load of foam. It piled up fast, even in the Chimay Goblet. Oh well, I'm not in a rush. The solid white head rises at least 5" high, when it settles, it's clumpy with a milky crown. It healthy, but the yeast is crazy.
The nose has an abundance of robust yeast aroma's, spices, dried earth and leaves, musty and hearty wheat. a certain sourness adds fermented white grapes, banana's ans cream, sweet tart candies and a light, sweet malt way in the back.
The flavor in one word is: Sublime. The balance of the flavor's stands out as the best quality. The Yeast is very flavorful, a takes most of the flavor spectrum, and that's just fine because it gives it an earthy, hearty flavor, hot wheat, musty earth, all-spice, herbs and gentle dried fruits. The malt comes in crisp and very, very clean feeling adding a crispness that is very delicate on the palate. The hops are subtle and add further earthiness and spice right at the end and rides in with a well-adjusted heat that adds warmth and a slight bite. This flavor's create a very nice, intricate groove that is tight.
Spot-on style-wise, and it delivers a very clean experience.

A bit creamy, but little douginess and yeastiness for a triple. a prominent metallic wateriness that didn't prevent drinking but left an unsatisfying aftertaste. Some spice, lemongrass and corriander, berries not too alcoholic. Too malty sweet. Reasonable nice lacy appearance.

Bavik produces a very basic, but clean and well-brewed tripel under the Petrus brand name. It pours a clear yellow-gold body beneath a creamy head of bright-white foam that seems to hold forever. The lacing is pretty incredible as well, with high walls of bubbly but solid froth. The nose is limited to some yeastiness with an edge of fruitiness over a lightly sweet and wheatish graininess. In the mouth it's medium-light bodied and gently effervescent with a somewhat elevated, natural carbonation. The flavor is as the aroma suggests without much more: yeast enters at the front, followed by some slightly tart but mild red fruit; and then some mildly sweet hay-like malt appears before it finishes with a flourish of yeasty acidity (with a spritz of lemon), a flick of flinty bitterness, and a smear of leafy and spicy hops that linger along with some mild alcohol. Overall it's a pretty decent, straight-forward tripel; but there are so many more complex versions out there that it hardly seems worth the effort.

Years later, a child's life brings warm memories
A Mother's tribute to her son
Although the majority of children with cerebral palsy will live long, healthy lives, for some – like Brian McDonald, 21 – life is unfairly shortened. Most would agree, parents shouldn't lose their child so early. Laura McDonald, Brian's mother, reaches out – in her own words – to other families who have recently lost their child. While doing so, Laura pays tribute to the son who so beautifully shared his bright light.
"Some may ask, what was the purpose to his life?" she wrote. "Why did he have to be so challenged? What value did he have?" To which she responds that the people that knew Brian, know the answer. "He was physically flawed, but spiritually flawless," she said. "We took the time to experience his grace, and through all the trials and tribulations we know that we have been living in the presence of an angel."
To read Laura's full tribute, visit Laura McDonald's Tribute to Brian, Her Son
