330ml bottle - pours amber golden, with a nice big fluffy white head. Aroma is very floral and yeasty, with citrus, peach, apple, and some banana. Flavour is equally floral and fruity, as well as extremely smooth, with more bready yeast, apple cider, citrus, banana, honey, and alcohol warming from mid-palate to finish. Mouthfeel is thickly smooth (thicker than most other Tripels I’m used to), with perfectly soft carbonation. Slightly sour in the finish, along with light bitterness. Last aftertaste. This is a wonderful Abbey Tripel, very complex and estery.

Bottle from BevMo. Pours a medium golden color with some light copper. Slightly grainy yeasty aromas. A little spice as well. Slightly sweet dark fruitiness up front with a bit of yeast. Some bitterness follows along with a bit of apple cider qualities. Fairly dry finish.

Pours a golden amber with a white head, nice tight small bubbles, and lacing. The aroma has notes of floral, fruit, malt, and spice. Flavor has a nice maltiness, with fruit and spices. Slight astringint finish with just a pinpoint of hops.

Pours a hazy brown with a frothy head, fruity, sweet aroma, fizzy moutfeel, bitterish aftertaste. I’m not a huge fan of this one but it certainly was worth a try.

330. Pours a medium straw color that turns hazy and medium amber as the glass fills. Towering, fluffy, sudsy white head. Sweet caramel noughat butterscotch nut delight on the nose. More of the same on the attack and the mid-palate; almost buttery but not in a diacetyl way. Smooth and silky body, medium thick with soft carb. Beautiful drinkable stuff. Clean lightly herbal bitter finish. This is a wonderfully considered beer; you can feel the years of perfectionistic efforts at work in the balance and the drinkability. Splendid stuff.

Pours a hzy ruby-brown color, with a good 3" of almost pinkish tan head. The foam looks a lot like soft soap suds. Good lacing. Bread dough, beer yeast, and alcohol in the aroma. Very flavorful with sweet fig, brown sugar, wheat bread, toffee, and mild chocolate malt. Dry spice and alcohol in the finish. Somewhere between medium and full bodied, moderately carbonated
