Bottle at DadsThursday. 100th Abbey Tripel rate. Pours cloudy yellow gold with white head. Nose and taste of lemongrass, lemonpeel, yeast, banana and light wheat malt. Mild spicy yeast. Lighter medium body.

I actually forgot where this one came from as my Texas trip was just going from beer store to beer store. Anyway, it pours slightly hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is slight saison funk, dry hops, some herbalness. Taste is similar. Slightly bitter and sufficiently hopped saison with citrus and spice notes. While I don’t think that it is anything that special, I think that the rating it has here is somewhat too low.

Location: 750 ml bottle at Benjy's, 9/17/13

Aroma: The nose is yeasty and a little sweet, clove, lots of fruit, plenty of spice, and caramel
Appearance: It pours a hazy orange color with an decent sized white head and some lace too
Flavor: The taste feels fairly sweet too, there's some spice, and a little bit of alcohol as well
Palate: The body is medium, it feels a little sticky, soft-to-average carbonation, and a light heat
Overall Impression: I thought this was a plenty solid tripel that clearly leans toward the sweet side. Even though I am not the hugest fan of sweet beers, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Location: Draft at The Queen Vic, 9/10/13

Aroma: The nose of this one is yeast and a little spicy, pepper, some fruit, and mild alcohol
Appearance: The pour is orange with a decent head and some nice lace as well
Flavor: The flavor is much the same, yeast, spice, and fruit, not all that sweet, but a solid flavor
Palate: The feel of this one is solid, but not great, there's a little heat, and some plus carbonation
Overall Impression: Wow, this one has a much lower score than I would have guessed. I thought this was a pretty tasty Saison. I guess I'll be one of its higher raters.
