Commercial Description:
Rich pale malt flavors provide a solid base for zesty Styrian Golding and Czech Saaz hopping. Trappist ale yeast contributes the fruity, spicy profile of classic, monk-brewed, Belgian ales. Our Trippel is luscious, fiery, golden brew and a contemporary rendition of traditional Belgian Trippel.

Pours a nice copper color with a foamy head that lasts and laces nicely. Aroma of banana, citrus, yeast and spice. Flavor follows along the same lines, sweet and fruity with a hint of spice and alcohol on the finish. Average carbonation and mouthfeel. A pretty good brew.

Pours a hazy copper with a white head. Highly carbonated with an everlasting ring of foam and no lacing. Smells like bananas and oranges. Full body tasting of bananas with a spicy hint. Reminds me of a Tripel Karmeliet, but cheaper. Green flash has been good to me so far.

2007 Vintage. Thanks to Hellbilly for this one! Cloudy copper pour with fluffy white head. Fruity nose. Full bodied. Notes of grain, candy sugar, citrus, and alcohol.

Spicy fruity nose with candied roses. Dense foamy head, great lacing, brilliant orangey/amber color. Peppery sweetness, some banana, and enough bitterness to balance it. Body is full and has a frothy mouthfeel. The finish is the key, all the flavors explode then slowly drowned into a smooth alcohol burn. A bit more aggressive than expected, but a very tasty beer.

Pours a coppery burnt orange, cloudy with a lasting moderate white head. Aroma is blend of Belgian tripel and IPA, but not as pungent as either. aroma of citrus, earthy grain, hay, flowers, uncooked bread dough, and spruce. Tastes of doughy malt, hay, grass, earth, tangy yeast, flowery hops and vague citrus. Finishes mainly with the pungent yeast flavor but more citrus hops, grass and earth than most tripels finish with. The yeast seems cleaner, however which I don’t prefer. Medium bodied and soft carbonation make this easily drinkable for me. Decent beer that I’d drink again.

IT HAS A NICE FLORAL SMELL. THE FRUITS AND SPICES MIX VERY WELL TOGETHER. I WOULD NEVER KNOW THIS WAS NOT MADE IN BELGIUM BY THE TASTE.

1Pt. 6Fl. Oz. bottle @ Raja Liquors in Livermore, CA. The pour: Good caramel color, with very good head retention. The bouquet: some good maltiness, breadiness, and fresh yeastiness, as a trippel should be. The palate: creamy, I agree with the banana aroma, but also with hints of fuits such as peaches or nectarines. The hoppiness that come through lets you know this is a "California" brewed trippel. The finish is mild and pleaseant. This is a slighlty lighter version of a Rochefort trippel. Great job!
