An old Tap favorite, back again! Light, sweet and fruity from the Belgian Trappist yeast. First brewed in 2004 by our second Head Brewer, Dann Paquette who is well known for his Belgian beers. This beer is dangerously drinkable at 10%!

Pours a deep reddish orange, with a medium size creamy white head, laces in sticky bunches. Aroma starts fairly light, but increases as it warms - sweet, a bit spicey, some apple and banana. Flavor starts quite sweet and sugary, a bit fruitier in the middle, and ends with a surprising amount of hop bitterness (more than I expected it to have). Full bodied, definately much better as it approaches room temperature. Very drinkable for 8.6%.

Sampled on tap at the brewpub.

This Belgian Tripel poured a hazy, golden amber color with pillowy, white foam that settled but clung to the glass a bit. The smell was fruity (banana, mango, strawberry) with a touch of sugar and perhaps a bit of alcohol (fusel?). The taste was malty and fruity (banana) with a light sugary taste, and some bitter hops and perhaps a touch of phenols in the finish. The mouthfeel was very smooth and creamy with medium body and low carbonation feel. This was a very nice and enjoyable tripel.
