Named after our fave French backcountry ski town, LaGrave’s rare yeast produces a rocky head releasing aromas of crusty bread and earthy spices. Our Triple Golden Ale carves out flavors of ripe pear, straw and black pepper with a dry, champagne powder finish.

375 ml bottle purchased at Georgio’s in Billarica, MA, hazy gold with very little head. Aroma is fruity yeast, sugar and traces of ripe banana.
The body is on the lighter side of medium with a dry. The flavor is wet newspaper, old malt, wheat and has a mild sour note. The flavor has fallen off or was never very good in the 1st place. The paper and old malt is not pleasant. Very disappointing for this brewery.

Rich deep honey coloured body with orange highlights, a touch of copper and a thinnish, two centimetre tall just off-white head with some sediment noticeable at the bottom. Aroma of honey, jasmine, flowers, yeast, toffee, peaches and a good bit of nutty malts. Full-bodied; Rich honey flavour with a lot of perfumey and floral flavours showing some subdued malt notes and twang of the yeast on the end. Aftertaste is relatively straight forward with only a deep floral and yeastie note and some subdued sugars coming through - not too complex, but also showing a nice effervescence throughout. Overall, a good tripel, but not as good as I expected from the ratings. Still, nice to try and a worthy example if you like the style, but compared to the real belgies that i’ve been having recently, this is a touch of a letoff. I sampled this 37,5 cL split bottle purchased from New Beer Distributors in New York, New York on 08-November-2014 for US$3,25 sampled at home in Washington on 18-February-2015.

Pours a golden amber from a bottle, thick head. A classic example of a Belgian strong ale, redolent of alcohol, dry as a bone and extremely effervescent. Very good beer.

Refrigerated 12.7 oz. brown bottle poured into a Trappist glass. Aroma is fruity (mostly light orange), medium/light body, well carbonated, and thick small-bubble lacing. Taste is fruit (citrus) and some yeast, slightly dry finish.
