It’s a tripel and it’s a good beer. But it’s not my favorite. Pours much darker than I would have expected from an Abbey tripel. Not nearly the yeasty or bready flavors I expected. Darker pour, great lacing, enjoyable, but not exactly a tripel.

Overall a very good tripel. It pours a dark gold color with a very small white head. It has very distinct fruity (apple?) notes with a bitter and malty finish. I would drink this again, but it is not my #1, their Quad on the other hand... wow.

I tried this beer on January 17, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto. The beer poured a dark translucent golden brown with a thin tan head. The aroma consisted of sweet malt and vanilla. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was sweet malt, plums, a little caramel, and a little vanilla.

750ml. Looks like a tripel. Tastes like one, too. Some faint, yet distinct metallic tone there towards the end, but it doesn’t harm the overall experience. I’ll give it the fact that it’s traveled long and far to get to this point to where I won’t bitch over a little off flavor. Very easy drinking. I should have gotten 2 of them and fired up some xbox Table Tennis.

A solid tripel. Copper colored pour with a tan head (doesn’t really last and no real lacing, though). Yeasty aroma and flavor. The finish is on the sweet side. Highly carbonated. It’s got all the goods here, just nothing spectacular.

750 ml bottle from Bev4less in Santee. Pours a hazy copper color with a large sudsy white head that lingers a fair while and leaves plenty of lacing. The Aroma is strong with bananas, pears and mild spices. The flavor mirrors the aroma--the bananas are sweet and ripe in the forefront; other fresh fruits round out the sides: grapes apples and pears. The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. The finish is long with complex fruits lingering. Overall: This is the sweetest tripel with the most fruit that I can ever remember. Very different. Recommended.
