Jan 15, 2008 A nice tripel if not a little unsuprising. Aroma was nice. Strong melon and orange flavor. Pour was a somewhat thick hazy orange with no head and little movement. Taste was a little thick. Strong presence of passion fruit, melon and orange. Very sweet and not enough carbonation.

Jan 12, 2008 Bottle. Appearance: Hazy gold with an off white head. Aroma: Sweet and fruity, melon, slight estery smell. Palate: Medium. Flavor: Very sweet. Peach, melon, a bit of citrus. Clove and spice as well. My tongue tastes no hint of the alcohol I smelled earlier. Overall: Really a good beer. I love the three little dudes on the bottle.

Jan 4, 2008 Sampled blind at "Better Know a Style: Abbey Tripel". How many ways can you write tripel? Triple, Trippel, Tripel. Tripple? No, that’s way to crazy. It looks like just three ways, triple ways. Well what a long tasting. Here’s the last one.
Clear amber orange pour with a white head. Aroma of vanilla, caramels, grain, toffee, and clove. Flavors are grain, toffee, sweet alcohol, red fruits, citrus fruits, aged notes. Too sweet and too alcy. That seems to be a theme here.

Jan 2, 2008 light cloudy dark yellow pour...small head...aroma of cloves and yeast...hits the roof of the mouth and back of tongue on the 1st sip....sharp and bubbly...strong spicy taste with a lingering overripe orange finish...sweetness hangs in there for a while ....the aftertaste is a little too sweet for me ... overall drinkability is OK

Dec 31, 2007 Kind of an unusual triple. Poured a murky orange with white head that quickly dissipated. Nutty aroma with taste of yeast, orange and clove. Easy to drink, but a muddled effort overall.

Dec 24, 2007 bottle 12 oz. pours golden rod faded by the sun. light foam thin lacing and palate. first smell is overwhelmingly peanut butter. the clove and spice almost distract from the alcoholic warmth that caresses your shoulders the further you sip. And sip you must as the abbey massage can quickly turn into a heavyweight fistfight for which you were highly unprepared.

Dec 17, 2007 bottle. pours a deep golden with little head. aromas of spices and fruits. medium and spicy body. Flows over the palate with a nice spice and warming quality. Very smooth and well balanced tripel... a bit different from the Belgian Tripels I’ve had in the past... this one is more Americanized, which I like. Very very good - I want more.
