Allagash Tripel Reserve

Brewed by Allagash Brewing Company
Style: Abbey Tripel
Portland, Maine USA

Bottle, with Alaskanwarren. Thanks Brian! Pale orange/gold, lots of dense off-white head. Fresh green spring smell; sweet peas, black pepper, bubblegum, clove, citrus oil. Dense herbal hop flavor, lots of hop flavor but modest bitterness. Mint, menthol, lingering citrus oil. Cool tropical morning. Unobtrusive but somehow just right malt backbone, with a teeny warming quality, but as soon as it registers it is gone, and then just a sense of lightness of being. Finishes dry and delicate. An unusually nice American Belgian.

Pours nice cloudy golden color with just shy of a half inch head. Lacing the glass extremely well. Medium bodied on this one. Malts, hops, sweet fruit on the palate. Excellent tripel., especially when you consider that it comes from America.

Light, fragile head; strong fruity aroma; finish was a raw medicine like alcohol that outlasted the flavor

Good classic tripel aroma. Maintains head. Dry and mild but with reasonably flavorfull esters. A bit overly harsh bitterness on the finish with some lingering off flavors.

Bottle "Tripel Ale" from Brattleboro Food Co-op. Dark yellow body with thin, rocky head. Floral nose with banana and orange aroma. Nice and spicey. With fruit flavours, including banana and oranges. Sweet and spicy in the finish with ABV noticeable. Well done!

Aroma of yeast, some citrus hops, and sweet malt. Appearance is cloudy, with a light orange head and lacing. Flavor has light spices and coriander, citrus.

Bottle. Orange tan, meidum small off white head. Smells of bread, pear, clove. A little sweet malt, then turns bready, finishes with some nice spice and a bit of bitterness. A highly enjoyable triple.

Nice dark yellow orange color and great fluffy head. Nice aroma of spice and fruit. Some citrus, orange, and pinapple. Taste is yeasty and crisp with a lot of spice. Nice sweetness and some hops too. A bit of alcohol and dry end.
