Jun 8, 2008 This is good beer. One of the best parts is the underlying abv presence, as it is not to overpowering. Quite a treat if you like tripels.

Jun 5, 2008 Opaque gold. Very drinkable but a little clean. More pepper than I recall in other tripels, but not as complex.

Jun 2, 2008 Pours a golden with nice sized off-white head. Nice fruity nose. Flavor is very well balanced of fruit, some grannysmith apples with a touch of sweetness. Great texture, one of the better tripels that I’ve had.

[thank you, SecretSanta!]
[vintage 2006 - batch 95]
Pours clear golden with a big, frothy, white head. Fine lacing. Aroma is lightly tart, some apples, lots of yeast. Super creamy mouthfeel. Flavour has lots of yeast, super dryness, lots of hops, yeast, vinious. Great tripel - one of the sweet ones. Thankfully there is lots of hops in there.

May 24, 2008 Pours hazy dark golden color with white head. Aromas of bread dough, bananas, citrus. Sweet flavor with Belgian yeast, citrus fruit and spices. Medium body with llively carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. One of the better Belgian tripels.

May 21, 2008 Had on tap at Taco mac. Pours to a bright red-orange color with nice thick off-white head that lingers well and leaves okay lacing. Initial nose is a pleasant mix of malty fruit and spices, and as the beer warms, the 9% abv makes itself known as well. Mouthfeel is full and slightly tingly, and the taste follows the nose perfectly, again with the alcohol making a late appearance. This all leads to a nice, well rounded finish.
Good job by Alagash in re-creating a Belgian classic.

May 15, 2008 750 ml Bottle(Batch 36) Thanks to HOPSCOTCH for the bottle-Pours an orangish amber with a small white head. Aroma of sugar, belgian yeast, citrus, coriander, and butterscotch. Taste is of alcohol and more alcohol with some sugars and cough syrup. I think the aging brought out big the alcohol flavor. A little bit too overpowering. I would like to try a newer vintage.
