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.

Sampled blind at "Better Know a Style: Abbey Tripel" tasting. Slightly hazy orange color with small white head. Strong orange aroma with yeast, spice, slight earthiness. Orange flavor with easrth, dough, spice and yeast, too much. Creamy medium body. Overall very astringent.

Sampled blind at "Better Know a Style: Abbey Tripel". Pours a hazy amber orange with an off-white head. Aroma is yeast, funky, caramels, and toffee. Toffee and earthy flavors. Astringent alcohol and pine. Really harsh and not enjoyable.

Bomber of the 2005 Anniversary Trippel. Pours a cloudy amber color. Thin white head with smallish bubbles. Not a whole lot of nose to this beer. I can smell the malt and the alcohol. It smells alot like it tastes, but it tastes better than it smells, so ha ha. I love the taste of this beer. It is one of my favorite examples of a Belgian style. Palate is smooth with a little tingle and a lingering finish. Like I said this is one of my favorites. It is much more crisp than your average beer with a cork. A SoCal twist on a Belgian style.

22 oz bomber purchased at Spirits RB. Poured a nice orange gold with an average size foamy white head. Very sweet nos with lots of candied sugar and graininess but not a lot of fruitiness like other tripples.Medium bodied with average carbonation with a slightly dry finish. Flavors of sweet bread and grains with no detectable alcohol. I drank this and then ate way to many pigs in a blanket at a Holiday party.

22 oz. bottle - pours hazy gold with foamy white head that stands tall in the middle and leading to minor lacing; a zest of lemon and wheat dominate the aromas; the zing follow through to the flavors combining with a hint of spice; has that creamy and smooth texture expected from a bottle conditioned brew

4/07 KC tasting. Aroma of vanilla, lemon, caramel and spice. Flavor is malty, spicy, and yeasty.
