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.

Very nice hazy orange without much head to speak of. The smell is very, very good. nice fruits and some chocolate, all kinds of great aromas. The taste is nice and fruity, candied sugar and grapes. Not much alcohol showing up in this. I assume this beer is about two years old now considering they just celebrated their 5th anniversary. It has held up very well and I think I like it better than the fresh GF tripel I had some months back. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 12-11-2007 03:30:45

Bottle sample at the Green Flash/New Holland tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits on 7.23.09. Semi-cloudy orange color with a huge off-white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast that is light on the banana and pleasant. Also some sweet malt and hops in there. Sweet malt flavor with some alcohol, a bit of hop and some fruit. Pretty good for a style I typically don’t care for.

Pours a golden orange with a nice size white head. aroma is of yeast, fruits, and spices. flavor is similar with a clove, bread, and biscuit flavors also. also has some carmel malt in it. has a medium-full body and has a dry finish with a slight alchool presence. overall, a pretty good Tripel with more american flavors then the average Tripel and is rather drinkable for the style.

Golden orange with a white head. Flavor is yeast, fruit, and some spices. Typical of the Tripel style. Not bad, but I don’t really care for Tripels.

Poured a hazy yellow. Spicy belgian yeast aroma. Some clove, bread, biscuit, honey and grassiness. Flavor was much of the same. Mouthfeel was nice, fuller than expected. Nice trippel.

Bottle. Poured a slightly hazy orange color with a tall white head. Aroma is slightly spicy, slightly yeasty with hints of caramel and coriander. Medium bodied and highly carbonated. Flavor is sweet caramel malt, yeast, and spice. Finish is lightly bitter with tongue prickling alcohol.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Westover Market, split it with a friend on 5/29/09

Aroma: A nice, strong fruity nose, some apple, orange, a little honey, a little but bready as well
Appearance: Orange color, think creamy head
Flavor: Flavor is similar to the nose
Palate: A nice medium to full body, drinks nicely, hides the alcohol pretty well
Overall Impression: A pretty nice example of the Tripel, flavor works pretty well. Nicely done American take on this Belgian style.

on tap at papago... hazy brown tinted golden color with a soft white head and drippy lacing. some sort of fruit lingers in the aroma which i can’t identify... it mixes with pale malt, bready yeast, some spice, flowers and grass. something familiarly candi-like shows up in the flavor... sort of like a cross between bubblegum and sweet tarts.... along with that are notes of bready yeast, toast, honey, peach blossoms, orange peel, warm spices and a softly bitter finish. the body is on the fuller side of medium while the mouth feel is very rich and soft. unconventional. lacks some depth but decent enough... 7/4/7/4/15/3.7
