Tasting Notes

The Allagash Brewing Company has been consistently cited as one of the greatest American craft breweries. Since opening their doors in 1995, Allagash has become one of the most acclaimed and influential craft breweries in America. Their flagship beer, Allagash White, makes up 85% of total production and is widely considered one of the best examples of the style outside of Belgium. The other 15% of production spans American craft styles like IPAs and Stouts, as well as world-class spontaneously fermented and barrel aged beers.
Bishop’s Cellar is extremely proud to introduce this producer to Nova Scotia for the first time!
Tasting Notes
This golden hued ale is marked by passion fruit and herbal notes in the aroma, with subtle suggestions of banana and honey surfacing from its deep and complex palate. The Tripel’s finish is remarkably long and smooth.
Method
Complex, sometimes mild spicy flavour characterizes this style. Yeast-driven complexity is common. Tripels are often on the higher end of the ABV spectrum, yet are approachable to many different palates. The Belgian-style Tripel is similar to Belgian-style golden strong ales, but are generally darker and have a more noticeable malt sweetness.
Brewed with Allagashs 2-row malted barley, and local pale malt along with Nugget and Hallertau hops. Allagash also uses their house Belgian yeast strain to ferment this beer, lending to many of the beer’s award winning aromas and flavours.
