Commercial Description:
This golden hued ale is marked by passion fruit and herbal notes in the aroma, with subtle suggestions of banana and honey surfacing from its deep and complex palate. The Tripel's finish is remarkably long and soothing.

bottle. Pours a bright, hazy orange with a decent head that clears quick but leaves a solid ring. Sweet and citric fruity aromas- tangerines, oranges, peaches. Flavors flesh out more than the aroma- definitely some fruit in there (melons, lemons, apples) along with some heavy yeasty notes, a fair amount of booze, and a smooth candy sweet malt character. Very well balanced on the flavors. Palate is crisp and dry, clean finish. Very good tripel.

(Sample from July 18, 2008 Beer Club Meeting: Batch 113) Large frothy white head. Pale orange/yellow color. Steady and slow carbonation. Smells of serious fruit, bananas even? Lovely and sweet, wildly fruity, syrupy. Nice carbonation. Thin, but hefty. Not bad for an American Tripel, but I’ve had better.

Hazy orange with a nice off-white head, syrupy body, pleasant yeasts and some candyish citrus. Huge body, hints of perfume, dry finish. Nicely done.

Exactly what you would expect from a tripel. Orange/amber color with a thin white head. Huge amounts of yeast, citrus, and apples. Dry and bitter finish. Great beer.

C&C 750, batch #72. It’s about time I rated this - it is one of my favorites. I hid this bottle from myself to try to age it, so I think it’s about 2 years old. The cork popped up about 12 feet when I opened it. Murky yellow gold with a big white head. Yeast and coriander begin the show, with a bevy of fruits backing them up - mango, cantaloupe, orange some pineapple, sweet caramel, wow, lots going on! Flavors are more of the same, adding a light peppery bite, some floral notes. Some banana pops up late, and everything dries out just a bit. Hell yeah... this brew rocks! Medium body, smooth and satiny. LOVE IT.

bottle, batch 102, golden yellow color, lots of alcohol and sugars on the nose, flavors are much the same with some fruit like apricots, not as finished as some others

A very admirable effort, a nicely done trippel. Lots of fruit and spice in the nose, has that really sweet candied orange peel I have come to know and love from Allagash. Alcohol is a little more present on the palate than in the nose. Has a bit of dry gingerbread maltiness, a bit of honey, and spicy cloves. Enjoyable.
