jkaiser (219), Orlando, Florida, USA Nov 9, 2009 nice tripel. Awesome label and name. 5th of six on my SC Nov 09 trip. I would put this near the top of my favs for 09. SpencerDB (12), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Nov 6, 2009 Tasted this in a bottle. Nailed the abbey golden ale taste. Light carbonation and not very bitter. A good tripel with a sweet, fruity taste. Definitely enjoyable, sweet aroma, good beer hallinghansen (263), Odense SV, Denmark Nov 6, 2009 Bottle. Hazy yellow body, with a small white head. Aroma is sweet, parfumed spicy and fruity . Flavor is about the same. I´ve had better tripels. stobbe74 (655), Denmark Nov 4, 2009 Bottle, 12 fl. oz. Pours a pale yellow beer with a firm white head. The aroma is sweet, esters and fruit. The flavor is sweet and fruit. The palate is sweet. Overall a good beer. zdk (187), New York, USA Nov 3, 2009 I don’t have a trappist glass, so a snifter will have to do! There’s not much head on this one anyway, so it works. A hazy yellow. Definitely fits the abbey style so kudos there. A bit sweet though. Strong notes of cloves and cinnamon. Not much hop bitterness, but you can definitely taste the alcohol in this one. Also a bit grainy. Heavy, smooth mouthfeel with light carbonation. I find that I usually enjoy the taste much more than the arouma of these tripples. I like! Bonster (81), Jersey Shore, New Jersey, USA Nov 2, 2009 Bottle from coldbrewky, rock on my friend. Fluffy white head recedes quickly atop this hazy golden brew. At first whiff I pick up notes of fruit and spice. Right off the bat it tastes smooth; light fruit up front and then enter the spice and a hint of alcohol to finish it off. Viel Dank mein lieber Freund! bsp77 (191), Minnesota, USA Nov 2, 2009 Poured from bottle into a snifter.
Poured a very rich, hazy orange with a billowing foamy head. After the head subsided, a 1/4 inch head remained with nice lacing on the glass.
Aroma of bananas with some Belgian yeast funkiness.
More bananas, with peppery spice, sugary sweetness and a nice amount of hops (not too much or too little). Can’t taste the alcohol. Side note - Why do Tripels taste kind of like extreme Hefeweizens, just without the wheatiness?
Pretty carbonated, but also very smooth with a rich mouthfeel.
This is 9.5%? Wow, that’s scary.
kmyers8807 (25), Ohio, USA Oct 29, 2009 I thought this was a very week pale ale at first, but after checking here it was a poor abbey tripel. Not to hate to bad, I did drink it all, but was expecting something closer to other tripels.
