Dragonmead Final Absolution Belgian Style Trippel

Brewed by Dragonmead Brewery
Style: Abbey Tripel
Warren, Michigan USA

Hazy orange-gold with fair white head / Banana, wheat and honey nose / Medium to full body, sweet malts, with good fruit and long finish / Flavors of banana, orange, honey, bread, clove, and coriander / Very nice.

Bottle from Ibrew2or3. Thanks man. Hazy yellowish orange pour with a nice fluffy white head. Arom is earthy with lots of fruit comming out. I am also getting some cinimmon on the nose. Quite refreshing flavor with lots of clove and banana. Lots of carbonation. Hides the alcohol quite well.

12oz bonus from masonjer. Pours orangy yellow with a tan head. Nose is sweet with citrus notes. Taste is sweet, yeasty, citrussy and highly carbonated. Overall a very enjoyable and not alcohol hidden trip.

Not much to speak of by looking at it (grit-hazed caramel-colored body under a wisp of a head), but BOY the power that comes out in the aroma! Fruity esters boil down to recognizable overripe banana, apples, pears, grapes (fruit cocktail) with caramel backing. Flavor is tart and tangy (or is that saying the same thing?), a little thin-bodied to carry what I expected to be more lush, fruity flavors. Fruity sourness in an alcoholic finish with light grapeskin astringency. Tasty and mind-altering, but I’d sooner grab a Sapient if I was seeking out a Michigan-brewed Tripel.

I think I remember stealing this bottle out of some selections that ElBorracho brought to a Fais Do Do last year. Thanks Scott!

Golden color with a small white head. Dense head. No lacing. Tropical fruit aroma. Smells sweet. I pick up pineapple, orange, and cantaloupe. Not as fizzy as I’d like it to be but still pretty lively mouthfeel. Solid beer.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a huge head that leaves quickly and stays as a nice thin blanket. Smell is bananna bread. yeast, and zest. Taste is very nice... it’s almost like bananna bread beer to be honest. I think that is the only way that I can discribe the taste of this beer. Mouthfeel is a bit thin without enough carbontaion. That aside I really like this beer and would definitely recommend it.

On tap. Very different smell and taste. Sweet smell give itself to a bubble gum taste. Tangy alcohol presence. Complex which is different from the usual straight laced triples.

Tap at GTMW. Poured clear bright golden with a tall, creamy cap of white head. The aroma picked up white pepper and cloves initially with sweet bananas and bubblegum supporting.. eventually became a bit too sweet for my liking considering the style. The flavor had more bubblegum and lesser banana on the candied core.. nice dry yeasty impression cut the sweetness with peppery spices, but it was still very sweet overall. Medium-plus bodied, and I wish it was drier with more character from the yeast.. still solid.
