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.

Hmmm. Tried at Green Flash’s tasting room with my friend Joel from work. Every beer I tried there seems to have the same rating. All different, all good, love drinking them, but when it comes to the rating I only give slightly above average.

I do like the Green Flash bomber series, yes I do. Here we have a very competently brewed American interpretation of a Belgian trippel. Pours a lucious, hazy, clover honey hue that raises a decent frothy head; unfortunately said head deflates rather quickly, but does remain in quite submission ringed around the glass. Aromas of light pear syrup entice me to drink deep. An initial spicyness popping on the tongue melds into a richer than traditional but tasty, coating malt body that speads across the palate with hints of apple, pear, apricot and a very etherial butterscotch. Finishes with a medium dryness and light clove that begs for another sip. Deericious. My favorite of their series is still the icky, sticky IIPA though.

Hazy orange with white head. Aroma is sweet, yeasty and spicy with a hint of apples. Flavor is same with the slight bitterness of grape skin. $5.50/22oz

24 oz. bottle. Light amber with big head that disapates quickly. Orange, tinge of fusel and bannana esters. Sweet toasted malt, smooth caramel with cloying and spicy finish. Medium mouthfeel. Could be better attenuated or less dextrousness.

Bubblegum, sugar and alcohol nose. Bready with a cloyinly sweet honey and candy sugar palate. Some acetyl alcohol and dms come thru at mid palate. Cloying and hot finish.

Bottle. Yuck - I had this about 6-7 months ago and remember hating it... tasted like a cheap malt liquor to me - maybe I need to give it another shot. But I know the balance was way off

Bottle from Country Club Liquors; nose of wheat, caramel, cloves and spices; lightly hazy pale copper with a good yellowish head; flavor of bananas, cloves, caramel, and breadiness. Pretty good tripel!

Bottle, at csbosox KC tasting 4/14. Bottle provided by csbosox, thanks Chris! Pour is cloudy straw yellow. Smallish off-white head. Taste is malt, yeast and hop in that order. There are also banana and clove in there as well. After taste sticks around just a touch too long for me.
