Pours a hazy amber with a nice white head. Smells funky with some crisp dry malty hints. Tastes dry and tarte with some grassy hints on the finish. Nice, but I like the regular tripel a lot more.

Handbottle from Goldtwins, he got at Shoreline liquors in Long Island. Pours orange with some apple juice look. No head but a bit of carbonation. Nose is musty, with sweet notes and a lot of tartness as well. Taste is sour with a vinious quality and some fruity sweetness. Lots of complexity, which is what I’d expect from Allagash, nice sour.

Courtesy SoLan. Golden color, no head, although carbonation is evident. Fruitness on the nose that is a mix of sweet and tart with an almost cherry-like background. Great taste - sour start, sweet middle, dry finish, mild oak notes. A great addition to the tripel.

Thanks to Margaret &#40;<i>LilBeerDoctor</i>&#41; for this. Hazy orange amber with no head&#045;&#045;a broken ring of a few &#40;practically&#41; microscopic bubbles. Oak, lemon, and buttery brett are up front. I already wish that I’d shared this one. Vinous notes, light candy sugar and only a hint of Belgian yeastiness. Flavor is fairly tangy up front, though the diacetyl keeps things balanced. However, there is the brett funk and light barnyard notes that mingle well with the lemon and wine tang that have this beer going all over the place. Some warming alcohol is present, and probably contributes to the dry wood finish. BItterness peaks around a 3, some slightly grainy notes coming forth after the finish. Only the slightest tingle of carbonation is present with a medium-full body. Sourness peaked around a 3-4. I don’t feel this resembles a tripel much anymore, but it is a damn fine beer.

Courtesy goldtwins. Gold/bronze, insignificant head. Cross a tripel and some rodenbach and you got it. Medium/full body, very drinkable. Excellent.
