Allagash Tripel
Allagash Tripel is a strong golden ale in the Belgian abbey tradition, brewed only with the brewery's two-row barley blend and local pale malt, hopped with Nugget and Hallertau and fermented with the house yeast. Herbal notes and passion fruit open the aroma, followed by honey and biscuit on the palate and a light, peppery yeast spice. Despite 9 percent alcohol the body stays medium and the carbonation high, and the beer finishes clearly dry, with a faint warmth rather than sweetness.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Allagash Tripel
Serve at 10–13°C in a goblet. The yeast character and carbonation are the stars — cold would suppress both.
The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
Drink within 2 years. Some complexity develops with age but the yeast character is best relatively fresh.
