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.

Batch # 54. Cloudy lemon yellow hue with a 2 finger white head with tan colored specks suspended. Spicy, peppery smell with a whiff of alcohol. Medium bodied with a prickly, highly carbonated mouthfeel. Earthy, woody, spicy grain flavor here; pretty complex with a hint of black pepper, lemon and other fruits. Has a soft alcohol taste to finish. Not overly sweet like some triples, my favorite of all the domestic brands I’ve tasted so far.2005

Batch # 58 (Aged). Pours a barely translucent golden yellow with a great pure white head. Immediate explosion of spiced fruit esters fill the room. Tropical fruits, cherry, banana yeast, orange peel, clove, candied sugars and super sweet candy malt all hit the nose. First taste is super spiced and super sweet malt with tropical fruits lingering on the palate. Great yeast quality with some pineapple, green apple, clove, cherry, banana, more sweet malt, and alcohol warming. Smooth as can be and full bodied with a slight bitter edge on the finish. I now have a warm stomach and spicy breath, couldn’t have asked for better aging.

Batch #94. Barely translucent carmel in color. The nose shows off wonderful spices along with orange pulp, carmel, nuts and citrus. These flavors continued into a smooth and balanced beer with a finish that lingers with some bitnerness.

Batch #84. Damn pleasant beer. I really can’t fault Rob on his brewing, and Allagash is starting to be my favorite American brewer. Beautiful color, pours with the perfect small bubbled head, 3-4 cm cream-white head. You can taste a sweet cherry-like yeast, and little pear on the nose. Apple/Pear on the tongue, just the right balance of sweet and fizz, and a little tang on the back of the throat. Easily one of the best American beers of the last 5 years. (Bottle Pour 1/2/2007)

Sampled blind at "Better Know a Style: Abbey Tripel". Pours a clear yellow with a white head. Citrus and grain nose. Not very distinct. Citrus, pear, really fruity. Earthy, tangy, alcohol. Hop presence. Finishes dry with the alcohol and earthy notes. Ok.

Bottle. Pours cloudy straw colored w/ voluminous foamy head. Sour, yeasty aroma. Taste is very smooth and fruity, reminiscent of green apple.
