Sep 26, 2008 Pours hazy gold, with a fluffy head that won’t quit. lots of lacing as well. Aroma is yeasty and spicy. The flavors are peppery with alcohol being more dominant in the flavor than any beer I can remember off the top of my head.

Sep 26, 2008 Good beer, but there is a whole lot of heat going on here. nice muted sweetness in the aroma and a whole world of head in this light amber beer. Overall though, the beer is a nice blend of banana and some spice elements. Good, but not classic.

Sep 25, 2008 I was looking forward to trying this. Fortunately, Islay let me enjoy this while waiting for the opening Vikes/Pack game to start the NFL season. Aroma is light cookie, grape, and banana, and belgian sugar. The minimal sourness is a nice touch to an overtly sweet tripel style. Nice and tingley mouthfeel. The carbonation aspect is perfect here. What you have here is a top of the line abbey tripel, that all should aspire to.

Sep 24, 2008 Abbey Tripels are easily one of my favourite beer styles. This one reminds me why. Pours of cloudy gold with an impressive white head. Fruity and spicy aroma and flavour with some notes of yeast and bread. Hoppy, yeasty aftertaste. Quite and flavourful and well balanced beer. Alcohol is well hidden.

Sep 21, 2008 Tasted is in conjunction with Orval. It lost the contest. is very drinkable for a > 9% brew, however. Aroma was slight, surprisingly. Seemed yeasty and balanced. Grassy taste that lingered briefly.

Sep 20, 2008 11.2oz in bordeaux glass. Towering white head on deep gold with streaming fine bubbles. Fresh grape and bubblegum are dominant aromas. Sweet, warming, distantly grainy, even more distantly spicy. Uncannily reminiscent of my homebrew Delirium clone, which used the Westmalle yeast....

Sep 20, 2008 330ml bottle. 11/07/07 date on bottle. Poured a clear gold in color with a massive beige head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of bread, yeast, light spices and light fruity notes. Taste is spiced, light fruity notes, yeasty, bready with some citrus.

Sep 20, 2008 Poured from bomber, fifth beer in tasting series. Appearance is a murky gold-orange with a crisp white head. Aroma is of light fruit, and a strange bit of plastic. Flavor features notes of dry champagne, tart fruit, green grapes and sugar-candy. Finishes slightly bitter, with hints of grass and alcohol. Overall, this brew is a solid example of this style, but does not possess the balance of say, Allagash Tripel.
