Commercial Description:
This golden hued ale is marked by passion fruit and herbal notes in the aroma, with subtle suggestions of banana and honey surfacing from its deep and complex palate. The Tripel's finish is remarkably long and soothing.

Very nicely done belgian here. The focus is a delicious smooth sweetness and great drinkability. The alcohol is put into the background do to a well crafted beer.

This is a terrific tripel that stands up to many of the great Belgian tripels. Aroma and flavor of banana, yeast, malt, citrus and spice with a nice hoppy, bitter finish. Nice foamy head that doesn’t disappear. Very well done.

A very fruity beer, light in color, but nothing else. The flavor is a very fruity mix, as is the aroma. I enjoyed this beer, and I think fans of the belgian ale will as well.

Pours light cloudy honey. Full white head. Smells of abbey ester goodness, but not a strong aroma. Fairly dry, malty fruity flavor.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy straw color with a full off-white head, decent lacing. Aroma is citrus, spice, yeast, pepper. Flavor is banana, clove, yeast, alcohol. Palate is medium bodied, spicy, dry, highly carbonated. This is the one that got me into craft beer.

This is one of the best beers I have had all year. Amazing citrus and spice in the nose and beautiful bubblegum and pear notes. This is dry, not cloying but sill full bodied. A real feat in brewing, this is a wonderful beer!

Batch 77 bottle. Cloudy yellow/orange with a frothy off-white head leaving spots of lacing. Tart yeasty bread aroma with spice, banana, flowers, and citrus. Bittersweet cakey malt flavor with a lot of orange peel, coriander and pear notes throughout. Warm bitterness on the finish. Some dusty black pepper in the aftertaste. Mostly smooth palate with slight carbonation. Very good, probably the best American tripel out there.
