12 oz bottle courtesy of Thaichile. Pour is a hazed golden with a one inch off white head. There are quite a lot of particulates floating around in the beer, along with very fine carbonation. Aroma of honey, brown sugar and earthy Belgian yeastiness. Also a fruit sweetness present, cherry, though more like a cherry throat lozenge than fresh fruit cherry. Taste is the sugar-honey, and more of the cherry sweetness. Finish is yeasty and fairly long. The taste is mostly about the sweet honey int his one. Palate is mouth coating, a bit cloying with a touch of alcohol heat. This was an OK Tripel, not sure if that’s what they intended to make or not. Thanks for sending this my way, Mark!

750ml corked bottle. I’ve had this one a few times throughout the ages, in 12oz format when it was just the Weyerbacher Tripel and then again when the Merry Monks label surfaced. Thick orange color, with a huge, foamy head. Creamy and rich, with a pleasant pungent yeast in the background. I don’t know about you, but I think it’s time to give proper respect to the PA Tripel. This one is classic, probably a little better in 750ml format.

Courtesy of sebletitje. Pours hazy deep gold with thin white head. The aroma is loaded with sugar sweet malts, candi sugar, apricots, banana and bubble gum. I also get an addition of dates and figs on successive draws. The taste has sugar sweetness up front along with malt sweetness, grainy malts and spices like cloves, anise and coriander. It also takes on a pepper quality too. Seems nice and warming. A very nice sipper type brew with a fairly thick rich body.

750 ml bottle, corked and caged, from Wine Specialist. Poured a hazy orange/apricot color with a white head that went down rapidly. Aromas of candi, honey and a hint of funk? Medium bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is a fruity tripel, that finishes pretty dry and woody. Wood? Funk? Yeast! Bet it’s yeast. Drinks really well, and it is interesting in a tasty way. Good ale.

Pours light amber/orange. Aroma is vrey sweet of sugar candy malt. For an abbey triple, the taste was a little different. The beer is very sugary/sweet and thick making the 9.3% quite present and enjoyable. An excellent brew.

Sampled at From The Vine beer tasting Oct 19th, 2007: Cloudy yellow-orange color with a medium fizzy white head that burns off steadily. Quick patches of lacing. The aroma is bread, yeast and sweet fruit. Medium-bodied with flavors of yeast, fruit (banana) and earthy malt. The finish is spicy with banana and pear aftertaste. Overall this is a pretty good beer, although it is definitely on a lower rung than the world class Tripels out there.

Phenolic aroma of lower quality grains, some peaches. Golden color, floating sediments, no head. Prominent alcohol, apple and clove notes. Takes on a plastic taste during warming. Brief appearance of bubble gum at mid palate. Lemon grass finish. My initial impression was that this was a mediocre beer, but now I think it is just plain bad. With apologies to Mr. Horse, "No sir, I didn’t like it"

Pours right gold into a tulip. Head quickly subsides. Malt and candi aromas. Sweet and cloying with a dry lasting meringue finish and alcohol burn.

From 50 cL bottle. Pours pale yellow with a rim from a short living head. Aroma is banana, citric and bubblegum. Flavour is flavour is sweet and slight citric with a mild malty and bitterness. Finish is slight bubblegum flavour. I don’t stand too much bubblegum flavour and this beer simply has too much of it.
