Why wouldn’t they serve this beaut in proper glassware. you think a place as nice as this (union station, prov) would put the work in and make it official. decent tripel, not great, but i had no idea this was a john harvards company... ohh well, all in all not bad.

On tap at the Lake Grove brewpub on 9/14/07: Pours a transparent golden with a thin ring of white head. Aroma of semi-sweet pale biscuity Belgian malt with some coriander and clove spice. Body starts with some sweet malt and floral fruity esters toward a drier bready caramely finish. A pretty decent tripel, but could use a little more refinement.

On tap at the Wayne location and listed as the ’Les Trois Amis’. Poured a medium golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of orange peels, spices, fruity (bananas), and some yeast. Tastes of fruitiness and lighter spices. Light alcohol finish. Some lacing left on the glass.

1 liter commemorative bottle. The pour here was gold, with minimla head and a lot of huge carbonation bubbles. The palate was rather weak in heft, and not very complex, with notes of fruit, some hopcitrus, and slight funk notes. JH has a way to go before they can compete with the Belgians in this style.

Tap at the Lake Grove location. 9.5% ABV. Slightly hazy golden beer with a thin white head. Aroma is quite nice, bubble gun, berries, pale bready malt, clove and a hint of cologne. Body could be a bit leaner, but it’s not bad. No problems with the flavour either, spicy yeastiness, well balanced by honeyish malts. Some lingering peppery character and a lovely balance of fruit and spice. Clovey notes come out more as the beer warms. No complaints about this brew. The brewer at this location knows what he’s doing.
