Growler courtesy of ditmier. Pours a hazy amber with a nice white head. Smells of dry pilsner malt, spice, some clove, coriander, ginger, perfumy. Tastes dry and crisp with some nice spicy elements, pepper, some citrus on the finish. Very enjoyable. Hopefully someday they’ll bottle this!

UPDATED: JUL 10, 2009 Draught @ Pie Hole Fairview - Poured opaque orange/brown with a small off white head...aroma is all bread with a bit of citrus, flavour follows, yeast, spice, great alcohol, malt and bitter balance...this was a killer suprise..too bad the pizza there tasted like shit...

Tap @ the Pie - This pours a hazy dare I say murky pour that is golden and has that unfiltered appearance that makes the color shapeshift a bit. Nose, s really fruity and spicy. Creamy carbonation flows over the palate, with a delicious mouthfeel. Really wheaty cereal grain maltiness, with lovely hints of citrus an yeasty notes. Delicious!

AKA Triple Pie at Flying Pie on Fairview: Murky tan pour with a smaller head. Nose of yeast and fruits. Taste is fruity, yeast, some cloves. Very well blended flavors make this smooth and true to style.

On tap Boise Flying Pie. Pours out a Hazy tan topped with a small head. aroma of some hop and yeast. Tast a little like a Hez. Pretty good overall

Pours a hazy golden brownish color. Aromas of hops, fruit, and a little yeast. Has a light lemony taste, with some yeasty notes, and a good hop flavor.

On Tap at Flying Pie on Fairview. They call it Triple Pie there. It really isn’t my style. Extremely thick looking. Looks like a cardboard milk shake and is about as thick as one too. It has sweet wheatty, hefeweizen-like aromas. The tase is rich and citrusy and sweet. Not for me.

Cloudy brown, excellent Abbey Triple. I can’t believe this is an Idaho brew. Sought it out at the Fairview Flying Pie. Best Idaho beer I’ve tried for sure.
