Jan 13, 2007 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.

Jan 5, 2007 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!

Jan 5, 2007 Updated: Jul 6, 2007My 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.

Jan 1, 2007 June 2005, 750ml bottle (batch 66), consumed New Year’s Eve 2006. 1.5 years old. Bright orange pour with a lot of bubbles and a thin white head of soapy bubbles. Aroma is floral and sweet with a touch of alcohol. Flavor is very well blended, citrus, flowers, sweet candy. Slightly dry finish. Very nice quality tripel.

Dec 29, 2006 Batch 77 - aged about 8 months after purchase. Clear golden with a quickly fading white head. Very nice sweet spicy banana aroma and flavour. It’s weak point is a long rough spicy finish.

Dec 28, 2006 This opaque pale golden ale poured with a strong lacy head. The flavor is citrus-laced, with unresolved (residual) sugars, resulting in a fairly bitter finish and minimal carbonation. Would probably be better to age a couple years.

Dec 25, 2006 Cloudy golden body with with big foamy white head. Aroma of fruit, yeast, and spices. Slightly sweet flavor with strong yeast and citrus hop character. Quite spicy on the finish.
