tronraner (1906), Maryville, Tennessee, USA Feb 1, 2007 750 mL bottle. Pours gold with big white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is zest, clove, honey, banana, and a hint of pepper. The flavor is banana bread with lots of autumnal spices. Warm finish and aftertaste. I am very impressed with the smoothness and balance of this one. kmweaver (2396), Sebastopol, California, USA Jan 27, 2007 Brickskeller, Russian River / Allagash Lovefest. Pours a medium golden appearance; white head with excellent lacing. Soft, yeast aroma; plenty of coriander, floral notes, and candy sugar. Medium carbonation; medium, chewy mouthfeel: candy sugar, yeast, and honey character. Medium, sweet finish; much sweeter than most tripels I’ve had. PSmith (35), Kennewick, Washington, USA Jan 26, 2007 This beer is soooo good. A bit of clove and honey as good as any Belgian that i have had in the past year. Well worth the money I paid. Just the beer to finish out a cold winter night. Though it is still early in the year, my new number one. Trooper11 (464), Suffolk, Virginia, USA Jan 25, 2007 Batch #81. Pours a hazy yellow with a cream colored foamy head, lasting, slowly revealing nice lacing. Aroma is very fruity, apples and pear with subtle notes of clove and all-spice. Heavy body with strong spiced-honey flavor, very warming. Not overwhelming. Ahh, very refreshing on this cold winter night. Bit of a dry malty aftertaste. VikingHammer (362), Lynnfield, Massachusetts, USA Jan 23, 2007 Updated: Mar 9, 2007Batch 88, Tulip glass, Poured a hazy gold color with a nice white head. Strong aroma of fruits. Tastes of spices, fruits and some yeast. Nice smooth finish. I loved this Tripel. Rivals alot of great belgiums. buckybeer (666), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA Jan 22, 2007 Big thanks to ( porterhouse ) for this one. 750ml bottle. Batch 84. Poured into my Tripel Karmeliet glass. Pours a hazy medium gold with big three finger white head. Wicked sticky lacing. Aroma is big time Belgian. Nice malts and spices. Big yeast, malt and spice flavor. I love this style. So damn tasty. Time to go watch 24 now. zootfinster (179), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 21, 2007 I am increasingly amazed at the quality of American Made craft beers. I find the Allagash Tripel Reserve an excellent beer and a rival of of many of the top rated imports. It pours a nice cloudy amber with a big foamy white head. It has a nice crisp spicy flavor with a delicious flavor I don’t find much of an aroma but I don’t think that takes too much away from the beer scania (184), Malmö, Sweden Jan 20, 2007 Bottle. Hazy yellow with white head. Aroma: Coriander and citrus. Carbonated. Flavor: Sweet, spices. Low bitterness
