2011 Day 26: Allagash Tripel
Name: Tripel
From: Allagash Brewing, Maine, USA
Type: Tripel
I had this one over dinner - a french dip sandwich to be specific. When it comes to Belgian beers, I usually opt for a lambic or gueuze, but I enjoy a tripel every now and again. This was pretty good - lots of typical Belgian smells and flavors, especially candied sugar and bananas. It was 9% ABV, and the booze wasn't very well hidden, so it was a slow sipper for sure. It improved as it warmed up, and had a nice sweetness to it without being cloying. Tasty, but drink with caution!
