Style: Abbey Tripel

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip

Pours an amber orange color with a white soapy head. Has an aroma of coriander and spice. Has a sweet spicy taste with nice bitters on the back end. This has a subtle banana flavor to it, similar to many American Tripels that I do not like. But here it really plays well off the spice. Has a nice carbonation level. Definitely some caramel mixed in. Decent.

Complex fruity malt mash. Pours muddy golden brown. Nose is complex coriander and spice. Very nice. Rated 4/10/10

11.2oz bottle via trade with madmitch76. thanks, ken! pours a very hazy, brownish orange with a few floaties and a short, bubbly white head leaving thick lacing. aroma is great with big fruity notes of pear, red apple, and sweet cherries with a background of clove, capers, orange citrus, lemon zest, sweet caramel, and belgian yeast. flavor follows the aroma and is wonderful as well with dry, fruity notes of apple, sweet pear, orange citrus, and berry with sugary, sweet malts, candied figs, and yeast with a touch of clovey spice on the finish. palate is medium bodied with fizzy carbonation and a dry, fruity, white-white like finish. overall, damn good tripel.

330 ml bottle. Golden body with an off-white head. Aroma is caramel and mostly dominated by oxidation, except for this the aroma reminds me a bit about a Faro (sweet malt, brown sugar and acidic). Flavor is mostly sweet oxidized malt, caramel, candy sugar, bouillon, fruit and acidic. I really believe this will taste better without the oxidation and will be looking forward to sample a fresher version later. But this is still on the right side of the BB date, sorry.

Poured a hazy orange color with a one-finger tall white head and minimal lacing. The aroma was a nice blend of mild citrus, light spice and plenty of yeast. The flavor had a nice bit of sweet citrus and malts against dry spice and some yeast. A bit of alcohol was noticed but not out of place. A pretty big tripel but still quite tasty.
