Is there a better tripel than this? Not for me. Straw color, fluffy head, banana/clove in the nose, great sweet candy flavor, and tons of good alcohol.

I just had this one for the first time - on draft at the Sharp Edge in Pittsburgh. The beer poured a dark golden color with a very large fluffy white head. The aroma is a marvelous mix of sweet ripe fruits. The mouthfeel is thick. The flavor is very sweet with nice light malts, ripe fruits, and moderate spice that I am unable to identify. There is a mild alcohol burn. I will have to try this one again.

Pours a golden blonde with a massive and thick white head due to it’s heavy carbonation. Extremely pleasant aroma and flavor. Consists mainly of citrus, lemon, cloves and yeasts. A hint of spice also. I haven’t tried too many, but this is by far my favourite Abbey Tripel. It deserves a spot in my top ten. Highly recommended.

Bottle; poured a rich gold with a large white head. Aroma was very nice; of yeast, fruit, orange/citrus and spice. Flavor was very, very good. Had characteristics of a good hef or wit, just amped up a bit. Flavor had sweet sugary components; zesty orange and citrus hints; some mild spicing; and a nice banana, yeasty presence. Nice mouthfeel with some stronger carbonation and alcohol presence in the finish. A top notch and delicious brew; can’t believe I didn’t get around to rating this sooner.

Pours a clear golden yellow with off white head. Strong aromas of Belgian yeast and bananas. Sweet malty flavor with a hoppy finish. Medium body with a creamy mouthfeel and soft carbonation. One of the best tripels I have tasted. Excellent!
