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.

Bottle ; nose very yeasty, with some caramel, papaya, banana, and spiciness; lightly hazed yellow gold with a big white head; flavor very peppery, with light fruits and some coriander; body medium with some hop bitterness, alcohol, and pepper in the finish! Excellent! This must be from Belgium, It doen’t taste like Maine! (Just Kidding, I like the Bar Harbor Cadillac Stout a lot also!)

Bottle Light copper/golden pour with huge creamy head and great lacing. Sweet fruity malty aroma, some banana and citrus. Flavor has a bit more of a hoppy note, mainly in the aftertaste. Very well hidden alcohol. Sweet and smooth, very good brew.

Golden color with a good white head. Smells like caramel, honey. Tastes much the same, with some sweet and subtle flavors. Very nice beer.

Very similar to DFH midas touch without as much wine character. I really love the creamy almost mead like honey deliciousness. A very awesome brew indeed that wins me over despite my usual preference for dark beers.

The more I have of Allagash the more I think they may be the best brewery in America. Pours clear golden / amber with a very large whitish head with very good retention. The aroma has lots of Belgium yeast, light spice, moderate sweetness, white grapes and white pepper ~ excellent. Medium body that is a bit thinner and more crisp than normal for the style. There is a bit of slickness and lots of sharp stinging carbonation. The taste starts with lots of peppery spice with some grapes and lots of thick earthy malt with very minimal sweetness for the style. The finish has some of the earthy Belgium yeast and a bit of sourness with along with some spicy hops. Big thumbs up for this world class tripel that sure doesn’t taste like it was brewed in Maine.

Overrated a bit? Another bottle shared with Hapjy - we were already a bit tipsy so I’m sure this wasn’t enjoyed to it’s fullest potential. Nevertheless, I don’t recall being too excited about this brew. Too light and soft on my palate! one and done.!
