Allagash Tripel Reserve: Review


Batch #152
Belgian Style Ale
9% abv
750ml bottle
$9.00
Allagash Brewing
Portland, Maine, USA

Appearance: what a beautiful beer once it is poured into the chalice.  A perfect two finger, shaving cream white, head on top of a spectacular neon golden body.  Nice white sticky lacing on the side of the glass.   

Aroma: light herbal biscuit, yeast, and crisp fruity notes.

Flavors: Red banana, light pineapple juice, Jazz apple, honeysuckle, and earthy yeast to bring it all together.  

Mouthfeel: medium body on delivery with a tingling tropical fruit sensation.  On the finish there is a warm alcohol and dry texture that gives this ale a medium-full feel on the back of the palate.

My Strength Rating: 5.5

See CigarPostings2 for Cigar Pairing with this ale
