Dragonmead Final Absolution Belgian Style Trippel

Picked this up in Michigan. Golden pour with a ring of white bubbles around the edge of the glass. Aroma of bubble gum, banana. Sugar and spice. Flavor is actually pretty good: sweet, spicey, with some citrys and nondescript fruits. Some hops in the finish. This is one of the best i’ve had from Dragonmead. It;s like loaning money to someone who never comes through, only to have him give you 20 bucks.

Hazy golden yellow color out of the bottle with a very thin whisp of a white head. Thick, syrupy nose of honey, applesauce and spices. Sweet candi sugar with apple, unripe peach, bubblegum, clove, banana, and I swear something fishy in the flavor. Seems almost undercarbonated. Boring for a tripel.

12 oz bottle. Pours orange-tinged gold with a medium, quickly-dissolving white head. Faint aroma of cloves and green apple. Flavors of biscuit and lemon and hints of cloves and bubblegum. Some red apple and honey notes also come out. A decent beer, but nothing more.

Looks kinda syrupy with a dark honey golden colour with some red tossed in. Head is pretty white and ended up being slightly tall and rocky. Biscuit malt and some yeast. Add some spice to the aroma and you have the flavour. Ended up a bit sweet for me. Not bad, just nto very good.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazed golden yellow with a thin white head. Belgian yeast and biscuit malt aromas that are sweet and somewhat earthy. Medium high carbonation. Sweet pale malts with citrus and bitter grapefruit that lead into the alcohol and bittering hops in the finish. This could be nice with some more hops for the alcohol and sugar and less grapefruit. Good components that aren’t really balanced that well. Decent trippel though.

12oz bottle from iceicebaby. Pours a hazy dark golden caramel color with a one finger white head that settles slowly. Aroma is sweet and floral with notes of caramel, candy sugar, spice, vanilla, banana, light citrus, and hints of honey. Flavor is sweet and floral with notes of banana, clove, caramel, ripe fresh fruit, yeast, wheat and hints of grain and flowers. Generally medium body with a sweet and malty finish.

Bottle from HOTD Dave. Typical trippel characteristics of sweet malts, spice, vanilla, belgian twang, buttery...fruits, especially banana. Pleasant warmth and highly drinkable for its size. But, in the end, this style isn’t my thing. Dave - this is like you with barleywine. Ho-hum.

Bottle from Sicilianos, Grand Rapids, MI. Semi-cloudy orange color with medium white head. Aroma is nice fresh yeast, spice, fruitiness, citrus, sweet, very nice. Flavor is sweet citrus, yeast, spice, slight alc, clove. Medium body with active carbonation. Sweet and yeasty with big spice, but well balanced. One of the better trippels out there.
