Bottle courtesy of CBA: Poured a medium brownish color ale with a small dirty white bubbly head with limited retention and no lacing. Aroma of sugar and light spices leavers me a bit on my appetite. Taste is quite sweet for the style with some brown sugar feeling with some light spices in the background. Body is slightly watery with almost no carbonation. I would never have figure out I was drinking an Abbey Tripel had it not been for the description on the bottle. Defintely lacking in complexity and probably one of the worst beer from this brewery which usually provide great beers.

341ml bottle poured in a pint glass.

Clear, copper coloured. Cream coloured head is 1/4 inch on the pour, but disappears quickly.

Aroma is typical belgian yeast, caramel and light fruit scents.

Unmistakable belgian yeast flavour at the start. Cloves and bananas show up in the middle. Spices take over in the finish leading to a spicy aftertaste. As it warms the alcohol presence becomes more obvious.

Medium bodied mouthfeel with little light pinpricks of carbonation.

This seemed pretty much like a middle of the road tripel. The best thing it has going is that it's pretty much the only tripel available in Saskatchewan. You might be able to find the odd one here or there, but if this shows up regularly in the rotation, it'll get the attention of alot of Belgian fans.
