May 13, 2007 Nice fruity sweetness that does not become overpowering. This is a great abbey tripel for the summer months. Yeasty enough to remain crisp. Great looking foamy head. I like this one quite a bit, but too hard it’s often difficult to find outside of New England.

May 11, 2007 Pours a light copper color with a white fizzy head. Has hints of sweet fruits and spices. Has a carbonation that consumes the entire taste. Finishes sweet and clean.

May 9, 2007 Cloudy pale gold color. Very yeasty as a belgian shoud be. Cant figure out the spices, but definitely a banana flavor in there.

May 8, 2007 Cloudy golden/amber appearance with a medium size white head and decent lacing. Yeasty, herbal, fruity aroma. Multifaceted taste is spicy, moderately sweet, nicely hopped, with a plethora of fruity esters. Medium-to-full bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel. Dry, bittersweet, peppery, long lasting finish.

May 6, 2007 Peel the label off and it may be hard to convince me that this tripel is brewed in the US and not in Belgium, from the style of bottle to the cork to the taste. The beer poured honey colored and hazy with a good size white head. It is definitely active and effervescent. It smells of bananas, cloves and bubble gum. Tastes are wheaty and sweet with spices. As it warms there is a perfuminess to the taste foloowed by a candied sweetness and a honey like finish. Mouthfeel starts as crisp with a alcohol punch in the finish and as it warms it becomes more smooth and mellowed. Overall highly drinkable and dangerous.

May 4, 2007 Pours a clear golden color with a fluffy white head. Aroma is malty, banana, clove, and some fruit. Flavor is malty, banana, clove, and a light dried fruit finish.

May 1, 2007 750 mL bottle. Batch 94. Pours an opaque golden with off white creamy head. The nose is hard to pin down but I picked up a mix of malt, spice, banana, and bread. The carbonation helps just a sip fill your mouth and the complex flavors are quickly overcome by a firm bitterness that seems a little out of place. Overall a very drinkable beer that I’d recommend to others. I’m not a fan of the tripel style but this had a better balance towards malt away from the high carbonation and dryness typical of other examples of the style.

May 1, 2007 Bottle. 750 ML. Batch 92. Hazy, golden orange beer with frothy white head. Aromas of citrus, banana, wheat, and flowers. Medium bodied with an oily texture, nice amount of carbonation, and a long finish. Sweet flavor hides alcohol well. Well rounded beer.
