This is one of my favorite beers, but at $25 a bottle if you can find it in Canada I'm thinking I could at least attempt a clone and see if I can't do something close. Here's the description: This is described as a Belgian style ale brewed with Papaya and Mango and aged in Grand Marnier...

I brewed 'Tripel Round the World' from the Extreme brewing book on Sunday, a 10L batch with OG of 1.090.
