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.

Pleasant golden color, nice creamy head, complex spicy aroma, great complex flavor sweet spicy and bitter finish, lovely mouthfeel. It seems a little bitter for the style, ? "west coast", but at $4.99 for a bomber ( at Applejack) it is a great bargin.

Now that Green Flash has hit the borders of Ohio I have been looking forward to trying some of their products. Currently sitting on this as well as the imperial IPA and imperial stouts I opted for a change of pace first. This was a solid American made interpretation of the trippel style. When a new shipment makes it eastward I am likely to pick up another one. While not a steal it is still a great value if you can find it for $6.99 or less.

Aroma / Appearance - A turbulent frothy beige head was absorbed into the butterscotch colored body. The nose was very sweet with a combination of Wurther’s hard candy, peach, citrus and orange scones melding with the alcohol, waxy chocolate and vanilla beans to create a complicated aroma.

Flavor / Palate - The first sip immediately rewarded the palate with semisweet chocolate flakes, peanut butter brittle and ginger. A spicy transition left citrus on the tongue before turning into molasses. The final stage was a nice vinous finish that dried out the throat. Deceptively easy to drink it was not long before the bomber was totally empty. This was a great value and solid release that sets the bar high for the rest of their line.

Bottle, Kegs & Barrels in Plano. Pours a nice hazy deep gold with nice off-white head. Aroma Of bannana, pepper, and faint clove. Flavor has a nice fruit taste along with some bannana, pepper, alcohol, clove. Mouthfeel is full body with medium carbonation. Overall a pretty good belgian style beer.

Bottle from Belmont Party. Poured hazy orange color with an average frothy white head that lasted with excellent lacing. Complex spicy fruit and yeasty aroma. Medium to heavy body with a smooth sticky texture. Medium citrus balanced flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate to moderate duration with a small alcohol bite. This is a refreshing standout beer.

pours a golden/amber haze with a small dense white head, which turns into more of a ring than a head. Aroma is sweet and slightly yeasty. Good flavors, typical belgain style yeasts coming through and some nice spice. Finish kind of leaves something funky in the back of your mouth.

On tap at Stone. Pours with a light, white head covering a golden body. Rich, spicey and yeasty aroma (clove and coriander are at the forefront). Taste is sweet and a bit fruity. Dry mouthfeel, and to style, lively carbonation.
