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.

RB #1900. 75 cL bottle (batch 95). Pours hazy orange with a dense and a huge and light orange head. Aroma sweet malty with a decent level of belgian yeast note and some spices. Smooth mouthfeel, softly textured. Flavour starts sweet malty, nice and smooth caramel flavour. A classic yet nice yeast flavour takes over and goes into the finish with a slight herbal note and a distinct bite before the end. Lovely a great balance. Very well made.

Caged corked 750 ml. bottle, Batch #90, short blurb and serving suggestions along the left side of front label, sampled in a wide mouth wine glass. Cloudy bottle conditioned appearance, lush golden orange color, frothy, dense white head, good retention, fair amount of laced sticking. An appealing nose, tropical fruits, honey and subtle banana, medicinal herbs that mesh with the estery alcohol. Everything is pretty much as advertised. The airy carbonation helps lighten the feel of the medium body, making this a smooth pleasant sipper, well rounded in the palate. Begins with warm spicy alcohol mildly stinging the tongue, followed by honey grains and candied sugar. The alcohol keeps it’s warmth through out the taste. Tart tropical fruits in the middle, the yeast turns an earthy spice in the end. Finishes dry, pale grains and earthy, fruity yeast, along with a palate cleansing effect from the spicy alcohol. This is a delightfully complex tripel from Allagash, I wish this was regularly available in my area.

I’m a big fan of Allagash. I love what they do to push the boundaries of brewing. This beer was nothing less than what I expected. Pours a beautiful dark golden color with very little head. Aroma was not strong and overpowering, but you definitely get some sweet floral/fruity notes. Flavor is a beautiful sweet blend of fruits and honey. Strong presence on your palate. Excellent complex brew.

Pretty light head, dark orange-golden color. Very slight aroma, complex but subtle. Strong mouth, great finish. I strongly recommend it.

My immediate reaction is alcohol in the aroma. Lots of yeast I can smell some banana. Orangy gold, small white head. Lots of bubbles. Wow, great beer. Lots of alcohol in the front, some hops. Aftertaste of alcol, but tons of sweet cake in the finish. Love it. Full bubbly mouthfeel

bomber. average white frothy head that left too soon. cloudy orange body. aromas of light honey, light citrus, sugared candy, bubble gum (yeast), and very light alcohol. flavor is sweet with light bitterness that presents in the middle and intensifies in finish. long finish duration. one of the best tripels i have had the pleasure of rating.

Pours a golden-yellow color. Has a fruity, yeasty smell with a similar taste. The mouthfeel is very lively. A good tripel, recommended.
