Sep 14, 2008 On tap at Flying Saucer.... golden color with aroma of fruit, vanilla and alcohol. Flavor is fruity and sweet. Alcohol is not hidden but not unpleasant. Not a huge tripel fan but this is a good example.

Sep 11, 2008 From a bottle marked: BOTTLED Mar 15 07. Poured with a medium head and a little lace. Some precipitate in suspension. Color of polished brass. Aroma of bread dough, yeast, crackers, and a little spice. Flavor is sweet overall but bitter highlights. Boozy going down. Warm finsih. Good effort for the style.

Sep 10, 2008 bottle from GMCC2181. Thanks Gabe!
Pours an orange gold color with basically no head. Smell is herbal and yeasty with banana fruitiness as well. Taste is on the sweet side, with bubble gum and yeast flavor mostly. Very strongly flavored from the yeast. Drinkable, and decent for not being one of my preferred styles, but a touch too sweet.

Sep 6, 2008 The pour is cloudy pale yellow, with only a white ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass for a head. Aroma was light, yeasty, lemon grassy. The flavor was bolder than the aroma led me to expect. However, the flavor is true to the aroma. There are additional flavors, sweet malts, some spice, maybe coriander. For an abbey tripel this is pretty light. an enjoyable beer.

Sep 6, 2008 Bottle. Pale gold in color with a bright nose. Unusually sweet and fruity, but not bad. The underlying alcohol flavor really compliments the bright citrus taste. I enjoyed this very much.

Sep 6, 2008 Not too bad. Has a strong hoppy type of flavor with, what I believe to be, hints of caramel. It’s not too carbonated which I personally like. It’s a little pricey of a beer but I am definitely glad to have finally given it a go.

Sep 5, 2008 Pours light gold in color, a little cloudy, with a minimal head.
Smells of citrus, grass, and malts.
The flavor was much sweeter than is appropriate for the style. Tastes of spice, malt, honey, and hops are present.
The mouthfeel was appropriately carbonated, with a bite in the finish.
Overall I’m not terribly impressed. I expect a lot more out of anything that calls itself an abbey tripel. It was complex, but in the wrong ways. Maybe I’m being unfair, but I don’t expect a beer this sweet in this style.

Sep 1, 2008 Deep golden color, highly effervescent, low head, turning quickly to lace. Cloudy. Aroma of Belgian yeast, golden malts, honey, yeast, citrus, alcohol, biscuits. Sweet flavor with lots of honey, butterscotch, alcohol, hops, citrus. Sweetish but decently balanced, quite complex, if not a little schizophrenic.
