"BP S4L6F4T3O4 3/19/2007 9:48:24 AM 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. "

"My first beer from Allagash was a plesant discovery. Out of batch#113 Thier tripel Poured a creamy, hazy yellow, plentiful carbonation that formed a huge off white head. Aroma of friuts and spices, mostly apricot and a little plum. The taste also had the forementioned, but my only drawback was the alcohol it was rather noticeable but it wasnt bad. Mouthfeel was creamy and smooth even with the high alc. content. I thought it was a pretty good beer and i will purchase it again."

"A great beer with cheese and crackers. Let the neighbors keep the wine. In the truest Abbey sense, a cloudy tellow body and decent foamy whire head invites you to a complex nose and taste of citrus, wheat and spices."

"This poured a cloudy golden body with a big fluffy head. The head was chewy and thick with a tart berry flavor. Aromas of fermented fruit, as well as wheat and spice. Sticky lacing all the way down. Mouthfeel was very full and heavily carbonated. It had a rice crispy effect in your mouth. Taste of lime, orange peel and maple syrup."
