Style: Abbey Tripel
Ruiselede, Belgium

750 mL bottle. Pours pale gold, straw, with a tall frothy off-white head, bubbly, falling lined lace, lasting head. Aroma is bananas, yeast (earth, dough), malt (grass, straw) and a fruity hop fragrance. Moderately acidic start, bitter and sweet malt, fruity flavor, alcohol notes, finish is slightly metallic but not detrimental. Warm and full bodied, fizzy-foamy and spicy palate.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of spices, citrus, fruit, and wheat. Flavor is carbonated, bitter, citrus, fruit. I have had better tripels.

Bottle. Golden beer with a nice cream-colored head. Stale hop aroma with a bit of earthiness. Malty, very spicey flavor. Spice lingers and coasts the tongue. Yeast, yeast, and more yeast in the flavor. Slight alcohol warming.

Pineapple and melon nose; pears, honey, citrus, and must flavors finishing peppery and snappy; a bit perfumey, adequately bitter and somewhat dry also in the finish; round flavor and superbly balanced; fairly alcoholic presence; pretty nice

Bottle from Union Jacks in Boyertown PA. Pours a hazy golden orange with an off white foamy head that sustained and laced. Really a nice looking beer. Aroma of banana, various fruits and caramel. Flavor of fruits, Belgian spices, yeast, bubblegum and banana.

Bottled. Fraught yellow color, decidedly torbid with presence of sediment. Good fizz. Compact and resistant head, good total duration. Leaven and wine cellar scent with light must and spice notes. Determined and alcoholic taste, enough sweet at the beginning with agreeable notes of white grape. Enough long-lasting end.

Tap at the Stumbling Monk. Hazy blonde/golden beer. Thin white head. Cool glass. Sweet yeasty aroma, spicy yeast, a bit of sweatiness. Bready malts, but otherwise clean. Flavour is pretty solid, peach and apple esters. Nicely balanced. 8 3 7 3 14 750 ml corked and caged. Very cloudy pale orange beer. Fast-fading white head. Spicy and yeasty aroma, with brown bread, melon, clove, mint and white pepper appearing. A bit of brown sugar and peachy fruitiness as well. Flavour is quite complex and tasty. Sweet and fruity up front with peach, apple and pear-like esters followed by bubble gum, clove and pepper all making an appearance. Soft texture with a lightly malty backbone. Minty hop flavour on the finish. Warming also brings out sweet floral and honeyish notes. Soft textured with some nice biscuity finish. This beer has a tasty balance of fruit and spice. I wouldn’t exactly call this a triple, but I would call it excellent.

Very interesting beer!! Aroma is part brown sugar, flowers, pears, melon, white pepper, and some wierd mustiness going on. Incredible! Light-medium gold/orange color, this beer just shines in the glass. Fluffly head with small bubbled carbonation. Taste is malty, peppery, and spicy and an underlying sweetness. It’s like it dances on your tongue. Finish is spicy, leafy and some sort of fruity that’s just barely detectable. A very different triple, but if you find it quickly get it. You won’t be disappointed.
