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.

750 ML Bottle via dickinsonbeer(i think) and a few other traders (thanks!) Pours a semi clear amber with a small white head. Nose is candy with some fruity notes-apricot, peach, bananna. Tastes just like it smells with some belgian yeastiness and a sweet and sour finish. Full bodied and moderate carbonation. Triples are one of my less favorite styles but this is a good one.

I love this beer. Pours a pale gold. Nice carbonation and frothy head. Smells of Belgian yeast and banana spice. Flavor is subtle and spicy. A deliciously well-balanced triple from Maine.

750ml bottle, batch #73. Looks great, smells great, on first few sips tastes great, but the alcohol comes through in a huge way a short while in. I know tripels have a higher percentage than most, but it really comes through on this one. To style, just a little hot.

750 ml botle. Pours a murky yellow with a slight head. Citrusy aromas. Light mouth feel with citrus flavors.

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.

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.

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.

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.
