Nøgne Ø Tiger Tripel

21°P, 35 IBU, 9% abv. 45°F today, should have saved one of their porters. Oh well. This is an Abbey-style tripel, made with both malted barley and malted wheat. After a long run, the first of their beers that doesn't taste of coffee or chocolate. Pours a cloudy golden orange, a good inch of bright white head, leaving behind fine lacing. Sweetish nose, a lot of bbq smoke along with hops and citron/pine notes. Medium bodied but still feels light b/c of good acidity, sweet but not cloying, lightly spiced, prominent ripe banana, yeast and sweet wheat notes, with a dry-ish, nicely bitter finish. Not being a fan of wheated beers in general though, and also preferring my bananas pretty green, this was all just a bit too much for me.
