Intricate fruit-spiced medium-bodied tripel brings sunny tropicalia to creamy vanilla midst. Up-front banana-peach-pear fruiting receives juicy mango-papaya-kiwi twist over honey roasted malting. But musty alcohol solvency and cellared yeast funk gunk up its sweet spot.

ALLAGASH CURIEUX ALE
Choice amber-hazed Belgian-styled tripel, aged in Jim Beam bourbon barrels, tethers perfumed yeast sweetness to overripe tangerine-apple tang, tart grape-skinned orange peel bittering and dry Scotch licks. Hiked up coriander-clove-currant spicing, white-peppered herbal dryness, oaken vanilla spell and floral hibiscus-lotus conflux cede to faded cognac finish, where honeyed almond-pecan-coconut serenity placates creamy vanilla cleft. Pinot Grigio wining adds buttery warmth to mindbending elixir.

LA RULLES BIERE DE GAMME TRIPLE
Unexpectedly smooth, thickly viscous, amber-yellowed ‘triple’ brings sour apple waft to peach-apricot-grapefruit juiciness as medicinal warmth builds. Creamy butterscotch remnant, honeyed coriander snip and mild floral nip give way to peppery hop-fizzed bittering. Its delicate nature is its slender reward.
SOUTHAMPTON TRIPLE ABBEY-STYLE ALE
Subtle Belgian-styled triple brings lemony orange blossom tang and vanilla-banana-bubblegum sweetness to candi-sugared yeast setting. Clove-coriander spicing and fennel-carrot adjunct sit below latent black-peppered menthol freshness subsuming broadened banana bread buttering. Just a tad unassuming.
ALLAGASH TRIPEL RESERVE BELGIAN STYLE ALE
Soft-tongued amber-clouded thickheaded wheat beer essence aided by honey fruited sweetness, caramelized barley-oats subtlety, and soft candi-sugared Belgian yeast pleasantry. Splendid white-peppered pineapple, grapefruit, banana and apricot tropicalia reaches nirvana. Extremely light ‘triple’ ale considering diffidently cool 9.7% alcohol content.
EEL RIVER TRIPLE EXULTATION (CERTIFIED ORGANIC)
Tangy tangerine sweetness and red licorice respite contrast wood-hopped grapefruit bittering of unassuming 9.7% alcohol-burnt medium body. Ruddy ‘old ale’ remains buttery as whiskey-tinged caramel malts coat fig, date and green raisin illusions plus candied apple subsidy and medicinal cherry coughdrop tease.
LA TRAPPE TRIPEL
Delicately complex puffy-headed tan-foamed tripel with clumped Brussels lace and jasmine-perfumed yeast concentration gains strong alcohol penetration up-front. Creamy caramel malt foundation and cereal grain firmness underlined by dried prune, orange peel, and rotted peach. Relaxing finish brings cotton-candied vanilla jellybean illusion to the forefront.
