This golden ale carries notes of passion fruit and honey in the aroma. A suggestion of biscuit is found in the beer’s varied palate. Brewed with our 2-row barley blend, hopped with Nugget and Hallertau, then fermented on our house yeast, Tripel offers up a complex, yet dry finish.

[bottle, batch # 95] Pale orange/brown, hazy colour. Moderate head. Fruity citrus aroma. Dry, spicy (aniseed) flavour with the alcohol being way too dominant. A beer for the cellar, pity I don’t have a cellar :o(

Bottled at Københavnske Øldage. Clear, golden beer with a white head. Wheat, fruit, banana, spices and hops in the aroma. Wheat, alcohol, banana and spices in the flavor. Nice flavor, but there’s more to it in the nose. Full, sweetish mouthfeel, and a long, hopped and spiced finish. Quite nice it is! (070511)

(Bottle 75 cl) Pours a clear, warm, golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving a broad curtain of lacework. Complex, fruity aroma with a whiff of yeast. Rich and full body with lots of fruit - some pineapple and perhaps a touch of coconut. Some yestiness and a distinct, warming alcohol in the finish. 180607

Bottle ; nose very yeasty, with some caramel, papaya, banana, and spiciness; lightly hazed yellow gold with a big white head; flavor very peppery, with light fruits and some coriander; body medium with some hop bitterness, alcohol, and pepper in the finish! Excellent! This must be from Belgium, It doen’t taste like Maine! (Just Kidding, I like the Bar Harbor Cadillac Stout a lot also!)

On tap at the Sharp Edge Creekhouse, thanks mtoast. Allagash XXX , I’ve been waiting to taste this. This beer pours hazy pale yellow but there are no precipitants within. Has a nice white creamy head but it also has some medium and larger bubbles that prompts an uneven foam. The aroma is mild, slightly sweet and lacking of the typical beery yeast aroma so common in today’s beers. Oooh, the initial flavor impact is quite strong, but not as strong as the 9% would indicate. Alky bitter on the beginning and alky bitter to the palate. The alky content is certainly prevalent in this brew. Nice lacing on the sides of the glass as you drink. Tho this is above average bitterness, it is not quite as oppressive in the alky as that Southern Tier trippel I recently had. Southern tier is much less refined than this brew, the Allagash lacks the in your face characteristic. The finish is medium high bitterness that can not be appreciated by my lager loving girlie taste buds. It reminds a little of bitter cough medicine. This brew does not stand a chance against white Chimay or Grimbergen Blonde. Slightly below par when compared to Victory Golden monkey as far as enjoyablity goes. I’m not a real fan of trippels but since I have been spoiled by Chimay and Grimbergen, I now expect more from this style.
