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.

Batch 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.

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.

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

Batch 82. I liked this quite a bit. The cork had a licorice smell to it so I didn’t know what to expect. Pours with a nice fluffy head. Flavor is typical Belgian style, as is aroma. It’s fantastic, but not unique.

Cloudy pale golden color with a thick eggwhite head. Aroma of fruits and spices along with a pleasant sourness. Taste is smooth, crisp, and tart. Yeast and sweet malt flavors are evident as well, all balanced nicely. For a 9% ABV, alcohol is well hidden, except for the post-swallow warmth. This is definately a quality tripel. Certainly better than most imports, and even the domestic Ommegang (which is pretty damn good). Nice job, Allagash!

My second foray into Allagash territory proves to be quite a wonderful delve into flavor land indeed. I don’t recall the batch number, many drinks followed, perhaps it was 83 or 88? Anyway, pours gold/orange with a medium off-white head. Aroma is wonderful spices, fruits, banana in particular, and yeastiness. Flavor was much the same, but very floral, not in an overtly hoppy way though. The alcohol makes its self known, but only mildly.
