Jan 31, 2008 Sampled blind at "Better Know a Style: Abbey Tripel" tasting. Hazy, dirty orange with small dense white head. Orange, yeasty aroma with alc, oak and dough. Orange flavor with dough, alc, red fruit, will have to try again, very nice age. Medium to full body, well carbonated. Very nice overall as well.

Jan 1, 2004 The cap of the bottle produced a bit of an audible "pop" upon opening and the beer poured dark golden with a massive egg white head. Aroma is quite nice with notes of yeast, raisin, and spices. Very spicy, peppery flavor with bits of fruit, orange, maybe a bit of candy sugar. Quite tasty, good Abbey Tripel.

Jan 28, 2008 Bottle, thanks to JoeMcPhee. Light orange, yellowish pour. Aroma is slightly funky, but also sweet from fruit and malt. Flavor is sweet banana, citrusy, with some earthy malt and bubblegum also. Pretty tasty beer.

Nov 15, 2007 Mmmm. Very nice. Strong smell of orange/banana. Very light yet flavorful taste. Very much like a Belgian tripel. Bit tart, bit spicy. A very good beer.

Mar 14, 2007 From a 22oz Bottle, 2003 Vintage. Pours a slightly hazy orangey amber color with a tall layer of soapy white head. Fruity aromas of pineapple and apricots blend nicely with a twist of bourbony lime. Definitely a healthy addition of orange peel and coriander, which is quite prominent in the nose. Medium bodied, prickling carbonated mouthfeel. Lots of spice. Flavors of plantain flesh, nutmeg, orange skins, and a touch of coconut husk. Sweet, but the spicy characters and full carbonation keep it from becoming overbearingly heavy or cloying. A bit of a nutty character comes out on the backend, along with some more yeasty spice.

Dec 7, 2003 Beautiful subtle aroma. Touches of pears, yeast spice, honey, merest hint of alcohol, smattering of hops. Shimmering maltiness, smooth, yet full of character, with a cohesive finish. This just seems so restrained and elegant. This is the gold standard when it comes to american tripels. Phenomenal.

Aug 10, 2003 Very much a Belgian Tripel. Cloudy, orange with quarter inch head that spans the glass. Bread yeast, fruit and clove aroma. Somewhat tart flavor. Moderately dry, but slightly sweet finish. Excellent beer.

Nice light sweet finish.
