Dicks Belgian Tripel

Brewed by Dicks Brewing Company
Style: Abbey Tripel
Centralia, Washington USA

Poured a darker, cloudy amber color with almost no head. Aromas of spices, fruits (apples and pears) and yeast. Spices heavier on the tongue. Sweet. 9% Alcohol fairly well hidden. Somewhat of a watery body.

POured a hazy golden color with a nice head that is quick to dissipate...Aroma was strongly of peasr and some spices..Flavor is carried over by the Aroma...Some citrus and bannana hints...Definitely brewed to style...A very nice TRipel...Thanks Gromit for this one

Ok 12 oz bottle. I poured this into my Chimay chalice and its a good enough looking ale,slightly hazy, orange/brown beer with a small splotchy bubbly head. Nice carbonation ( the chalice does that). The aroma is sort of strange though..its a creamy hazelnut smell..though there is a small amount of expected spiciness in the back. The taste however is up to style and quite warming with its nice blend of smooth malts and spices..alcohol is well hidden for its strength. Good smooth mouthfeel. Nice drinkable tripel, not up to Belgian standards but very good for the price ($1.35 a 12 oz).

Bottle Pours a hazy orange amber with very little head but enough carbonation to maintain some nice fine lacing. Aroma is the typical belgian spice but more subdued or faint. Some app[le, pear add some fruit tones. Flavors are consistant, but a stronger spiciness than I expected. Seems very well balanced and full flavored. Little hop bitterness and a tasty sweet malt flavor as well. Feel is light and lively carbonation. Aftertaste is sweet woody flavor. A bit under rated for it’s style I think.

I think this is beer is very underrated. Pours a cloudy amber without much head and what’s there doesn’t last long. This is as bad as this beer gets. Scent is light fruits like banana and apricot, but there’s also a hint of bubblegum. Flavor is sweet and it could use a bit more balance. Fruits are strong and there’s a hint of hops. Alcohol makes its presence known in a big way. Palate is crisp yet sweet. Overall this is quite good; one of the best US Tripels I’ve had and definately worth seeking out.

Bottle. Good nose, Candy sugary yeasty nose. Light orange color. Sweet malty flavors. Again I think of rock candy. Thin body. Warm abv finish. This was good. A catagory I’m liking more and more. Was part of big beer session last night of cruise. I remember having to hurry to do my review.

Amber, thin white head that leaves quickly and no lacing. Sweet and spicy. Some apple or pears. Some citrus. Banana. Some malts. Flavor has more malts balancing it. Alcohol and coriander. Some doughy qualities. Some citrus. Bitter hops as well. Spicy palate with a finish of alcohol and bitterness.

I was most impressed with this beer - but again like the other Dick’s beers I have tasted there could probably afford to be a little more dry to offset the sweet. An excellent US alternative to the pricier (and often larger bottled) Belgian alternatives.
