3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours light gold with a quick white head and light lacing. Nose is a little weak for a tripel, with the expected modest hops, bread, citrus, and alcohol. Flavor is also weak and boring for the style, with light fruity malt balanced against a wanting wall of hops and maybe a pinch of coriander. Admittedly fairly smooth and drinkable, but I expect more from abbey ales.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
From the can poured a pale yellow brew with a thin white head. Aromas of malt, bubble gum, and hops. Medium bodied with flavors of bubble gum, malt and a strong hop flavor that lingers.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Can. Dark straw with particulate and dissipating foamy white head with light lacing. Smells like banana and coriander and rubber. Tastes sweet and banana-y, a tad spicy, and rubbery, with a lightly bitter finish. Slick mouthfeel with a slightly hoppy finish.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours clear buttery yellow in color with a big foamy white head. The aroma brings some sweet Belgian yeast. The flavor brings sweet orange and a bit of vanilla flavor with a smooth light yeasty ending. There isn’t really any spice going on here.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft. Clear golden pour, white head. Banana, some citrus and green apple, light clove, sweetness, and light yeast. Ok, pretty standard tripel, which is a style I don’t like much.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a bright clear yellow with a decent white head that leaves some good lacing. Strong aroma is mainly yeasty and fruity with a hint of butterscotch. Malty flavor has fruity and butterscotch notes plus yeasty and fishy hints and a noticeable, if not ferocious, alcohol bite. Smooth texture has good firmness and a strong, if not persistent, tingle. Go ahead, party with this Devil!
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pretty standard tripel. Relatively easy to drink for a 9+ % ABV beer. Also pretty easy to find where I live. I’ll drink it again, but there is no WOW factor.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft. Hazy golden color. Aroma of cloves, banana, spices. Medium sweet taste. Medium-light body, lively carbonation, medium sweet and spice finish. Good take on the style.
