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 hazy, visibly effervescent gold colour with a thick, dense white head. The aroma is mostly apple/pear, peppery belgian yeast, clove and wheat. The flavour is zesty and fruity with a dry, yeasty finish. The booze isn’t hidden very well, but it accompanies the flavour profile nicely. The apple/pear complex from the saaz hops hits you in the initial taste, moving into that typical bubble-gum yeast flavour in the finish. It could use a bit more carbonation.

Bottle: Nice hazy golden, evident lively carbonation and a small but strong white head. Aroma has some Belgian pale malts along with sage, mild bubblegum and peppery herbal hints.The carbonation is lively at first, then it mellows to a creamy feel. Somewhat earthy flavor. Has some sweet notes upfront of honey and mild bubblegum. There’s some spices, dirty herbal hops, and peppery alcohol that come through to balance and make it drinkable; though it is a bit simple.

22 oz bottle, poured hazy golden color. Good nose with tropical aroma. Excellent flavor, medium to full body, and thick texture. Overall an excellet beer, going very well with tonights Corralitos pizza (apple smoked sausage and apples).

650 ml bottle from Bev4less. My bottle is the "Third Anniversary" ale. Pours a slightly hazy yellow-copper color with a big white head. The aroma is understated with a perfumy-floral nose characteristic of many Belgian yeasts. The flavor is mild with sweet yeasts, apricots, and biters. The mouthfeel was inconsistent starting out thin but developing into a malty effect by conclusion. The finish is medium in duration and off-flavored. Overall: not one of Green Flashes more inspired efforts; they really can do better.

Bottle. Pours out a brownish yellow color with a white head on it. The aroma is pretty much full of citrus, wheat (?), some spcies, and even some hops. Taste is sweet but the hops help balance it out some. This one is actually drinkable, and typically I do not care for Tripels much at all. Fruity, sweet, some bitterness, easy to drink - all of them describe this beer. Not a bad offering really.

The Dan Journal #167. Tasted 5/3/08. 22oz bomber. Filtered with a straw yellow hue. Off white bubbled ring. Citrus caramel banana perfumy nose. Medium bodied and sticky. Slick body. Caramel flavors. Nice layered head as the beer diminishes. Bitter and fudgy. Toasty and mildly sticky. Good attempt.
