Geants Goliath Tripel...$8.99 / 750ml 
"Goliath is 9% alcohol by volume, a little more red in the face than your average tripel (almost an amber, really), nicely balanced with a bracing hop note versus a solid malt wallop. Goliath is the only Tripel in Belgium that is all-malt – without any sugar or other additives in. (Everyone else uses some sugar to ‘thin out’ their Tripels, which gives them alcohol, without the body that you normally get from malt.) That means Goliath starts out a bit sweeter than some, but over time, as the live yeast in the bottle do their work, it gets drier and more punchy. The first batch, after about half a year in the bottle, is about where we want it, but it will probably become a greater beer as time goes by. We recommend that you check in on Goliath every once in a while." -- importer
Geants Saison Voisin....$8.19 / 750ml
"La Brasserie des Géants began brewing Saison Voisin in 2001, although the recipe dates back to much earlier.
The beer is a revival of a regional style brewed by Brasserie Voisin, a brewery built in 1876 that brewed for over 100 years, but sadly closed in 1989. Géants' Saison Voisin is brewed according to the original 1884 recipe and under the guidance of retired brewer, Léon Voisin. He has proclaimed the new version an accurate reproduction of the original.
Saison Voisin is amber-colored and, at 5% abv, extremely refreshing, with a light touch of bitterness and fruitiness. It is unfiltered and refermented in bottle." - importer
