#3 on ratebeer - the Allagash offering. This is a beer maker that we've noticed charges quite a bit for their wares and we were hoping this reflected in their beer. Let's see how it fared.
This beer poured out with no sediment and a medium brightness and color compared to the other tripels. It had a nice bubbly head but it was still kind of opaque. The smell was very tree-y with an herbish scent and a much more bitter nose. The taste had a slight bite at the beginning that faded and disappeared at the end with almost no fruit notes to speak of. The texture was not nearly as full-bodied as the other offerings and the taste couldn't hold up through the entire experience, resulting in a kind of flat beer.
This was a tad of a disappointment. For top 4 on the list, I don't think it held up very nicely. The beer had very little character and couldn't hold up what it had throughout the entire test.
Appearance - 3.9
Smell - 3.6
Taste - 3.5
Texture - 3.5
Overall - 3.63/5
