For about a year, if I wasn't drinking hopdevil, I was was almost definately drinking a Monkey. This is the beer that really turned me on to Abbey Tripels. Cloudy golden body with a spicy vanilla nose. Vanilla and cinnamon both present in the taste along with just a little bit of banana and the belgian yeasts. Always a staple in my fridge.

Aug 15, 2008 Bought a six pack of 12 ozers from Frugal MacDoogal’s in Fort Mill, SC. Poured a clear gold with a 2.5 finger white head. Aroma was very spicy. Flavor was spicy with some apples and other fruit. Alcohol was moderately warming. Medium body with moderate to high carbonation. Very complex beer.

Aug 9, 2008 Poured from a 750ml caged and corked bottle (bottled on Feb 22 08) and served in a tulip. This tripel poured a hazy golden hue with a lasting head of off-white foam. A bit of light lacing was left around the glass. The aroma of the beer was made up of apples, clove, cinnamon, orange peel, and a hint of alcohol. The flavor consisted of spicy yeast, apples, pears, orange peel, cloves, and a slight alcohol warmth. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with ample carbonation. Crisp and refreshing. Complex and highly quaffable. Very tasty!

Aug 6, 2008 Hazy bright gold, small head. Fruity aroma. Lots of tropical fruits including custard apple but also a few orchard fruits including pear. Then nutmeg, clove. Like a fruit custard. Nice carbonation level but feels somewhat heavy. Sweet but pleasant, fun. Lots of fruit like strawberry and also spice with coriander and fennel playing together, boosted by alcohol. Not bad!
