On draught at the brewpub in Everett, Washington. Pours a semi-clear golden amber brew with a creamy white head that has some good retention and excellent lacing. Aroma of sweet golden grain malt, candi sugar, some cotton candy, yeast and a hint of cloves. Taste is full bodied, very light carbonated with banana esters, yeast, cloves, candi sugar and some vanilla. Finish is semi-sweet with a lingering yeast and clove aftertaste. Alcohol is hidden very well in this tripel.

Buttery sweetness and light spicy yeast on the nose. Pours a lightly hazy yellow gold tone with a thin head. More buttery sweetness in the flavor that really dominates the whole beer. Light yeasty esters and spice, as well as a soft bready maltiness are there but are really overwhelmed by the butter. Thin body and no hint of 10% at all.

<b>Bottle</b>: Golden in color, somewhat dull, fairly clear, light carbonation, large foamy white head, a few rings of lacing.   Bready nose, slightly doughy, very minor floral aspect.   Smells like most American made Belgians.   Bready on the tongue, semi-sweet, slight floral and pale fruit skin.   Hides ABV well, but lacks something.   Not as bright, nor flavorful as I would have hoped.   Still decent, just a little "run of the mill" sorta stuff.   Fairly clean finish.   Remains bready throughout.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Tiz a bit warming at least.   Pretty much reminds me of most American made Belgian style Ales, albeit this one does seem heftier and a bit cleaner. <br /><br />

Supposedly an abbey tripel in the Belgian tradition but the 777 is light-bodied with a disappointing mouthfeel and a thin, watery finish. However, the entry is fruity and a tad sour for some pleasant tastes. Perhaps a good summer beer?

Soapy, light herbal aroma, hazy golden and bright yellow on the edges. light flavor like a maibock, tastes nothing like 9% like the bottle says. light citrus, soft yeast, and an underlying tartness persist for a good beer, but tastes like spring, not fall.
