Enchanting and enlightening, this golden, frothy ale boasts an intriguing herbal aroma, warming alcohol esters on the tongue and light, but firm body to finish. Exotic spices add subtle notes to both the aroma and flavor. Strong, sensual and satisfying.

Ok there are some seriously cloudy particles in this beer. It’s like someone stirred in sugar in iced tea and the sugar crystals have yet to dissolve. First taste is of an almost overwhelming piney mint bitterness that oddly gently eases after a second or two. Slight medicinal menthol like aroma. I’m not too sure if I like this. I think the medicinal quality to it is not to my liking.

Bottle. Pale gold in color with a bright nose. Unusually sweet and fruity, but not bad. The underlying alcohol flavor really compliments the bright citrus taste. I enjoyed this very much.

Not too bad. Has a strong hoppy type of flavor with, what I believe to be, hints of caramel. It’s not too carbonated which I personally like. It’s a little pricey of a beer but I am definitely glad to have finally given it a go.

Pours light gold in color, a little cloudy, with a minimal head. Smells of citrus, grass, and malts. The flavor was much sweeter than is appropriate for the style. Tastes of spice, malt, honey, and hops are present. The mouthfeel was appropriately carbonated, with a bite in the finish. Overall I’m not terribly impressed. I expect a lot more out of anything that calls itself an abbey tripel. It was complex, but in the wrong ways. Maybe I’m being unfair, but I don’t expect a beer this sweet in this style.

Deep golden color, highly effervescent, low head, turning quickly to lace. Cloudy. Aroma of Belgian yeast, golden malts, honey, yeast, citrus, alcohol, biscuits. Sweet flavor with lots of honey, butterscotch, alcohol, hops, citrus. Sweetish but decently balanced, quite complex, if not a little schizophrenic.
