Six Months of aging brings a soft smoothness to this sweet, complex ale. The result is a “sipping beer” that doesn’t seem like one. By this we mean that Legend Tripel is a deceptively strong beer to be shared with friends and family in celebration and moderation. Legend Tripel is brewed on a Belgian abbey style yeast strain which imparts combinations including banana, clove, apple, pear, even bubblegum. Serve with mild cheeses, roasted pork or turkey.

Poured a clear orange body with minimal head and a candi sugar/yeast dominated aroma as I don't get much in discerning aromas of fruits or malts or spice. The yeast keeps the beer smooth and fluffy, some candi sugar sweetness along with touches of tropical fruits make for a sweeter beer; minimal malts and citric hops keep beer sweeter than usual and the booze is hidden so has an easy finish as spices are mute in this beer. Not bad, a little simplistic, hit my sweet tooth so can't complain.

Had on tap at the brewpub today. Pretty decent representation of the style. Had the fresh version which I was catching notes of bubble gum initially and later pepper - lively on the palate. Had a 5 ounce sample of the 2010 bottled version at this was primarily pear based -carbonation was much less with this versus 2015. Not bad but prefer the 2015 version.
