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.

Poured a hazy light orange color with a giant creamy head. Sweet smell of citrus fruits. Taste was sweet honey, citrus and banana. Very good tripel and I enjoyed it much. Alcohol was very well hidden!

McChouffe trappist glass. Pours out a hazed orange with a thin, but dense head that fades to a sudsy film. There is some particulate matter sinking to the bottom even with trying to avoid this by pouring painfully slow. The aroma is vibrant, light (tropical) fruits, some floral notes, honey, corriander and a bit of that bubblegum goodness, along with suggestions of horseblanket. The flavour is as fruity as the nose implies but instead of honey I’m getting a caramel malt backbone. Slight bitterness arises from the yeasty complex and alcohol content, but not in a way that is offensive. There is warth throughout the taste but most notable in the finish. The finish is long and leaves behind herbal notes. The mouthfeel is tingly and medium bodied. Very easy to drink, but of course it is better to sip.

This beer pours a cloudy orange color with mild particulate matter that sincks right to the bottom. There was no head since it faded quickly but that could be due to the glass since i poured to glasses and one had a head and one did not. It has a nice clove and citrus smell to it. Initially there is a lot of carbonation with citrus flavors and is rather tangy. Over time as the beer itself warms up you can taste alot of honey on the sides of your mouth as well as the palate. I really enjoy the honey after taste since it is very sweet.

Bottle as shown. Batch #75. Pours a pale light yellow color with a medium frothy off white head. The aromas is very fruity and floral. Very good lacing on this one. The taste is very sweet and fruity with a dry finish. This is an excellent abbey tripel from Allagash.

bottle. Golden, white head with attractive lacing. Citrus, bubble gum, fruits, yeast, spice. Excellent balance. A very good triple, maybe a little thin, but quite well done. Allagash is one of the more impressive brewers in the US.
