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.

Cloudy orange, moderate head with solid lacing and retention. Aroma is grassy hops with a touch of spices and yeast. Lightly sweet finish with various notes. Good on paper, decent in reality.

Pours a hazy orange with a thin but lasting head with great lacing. Lovely spicy and inviting aroma with a hint of sweet tangerine. Tastes great - nice and spicy with a thick malty backbone essential for this type of beer, definitely notes of orange and pepper, a touch of coriander with a good resinous bitterness. Excellent carbonation and a chewy, thick body. I really enjoyed this one!

22 oz. bottle poured into trappist glass- poured a slightly cloudy copper orange, low carbonation, whisps of white on top of the liquid surface for a head, some lacing. Aroma of yeast, oranges, and coriander. Hits the mouth with a low-medium body, malt seems to get lost a little in the commotion of various spices in the middle, finish is warming and acidic.

650 ml. Orange-shiny copper with a half-inch of lasting foam that leaves nice frosting behind. Spicy resin, wood and fruit gum aroma. Tastes of oak, apple brandy, peppery orange peel, spicy yeast and paraffin wax. Finish is woody citrus, resiny bubblegum and alcohol. Light-medium body starts smooth but has flare-ups of carbonation later; has some nice warming, and is soft and dry. Fairly peppery with hops that seem to make the alcohol much more evident, but otherwise good.

Light golden colored beer with a slight off white head. Decently strong aroma of citrus and hops. Floral flavor with a finish of honey and bitterness. Slight carbonation throughout.

Poured into a tulip glass a deep golden color with big foamy head, nice lacing. Aroma is yeast and spices. Flavor is pale malts up front and quickly followed by a dose of bittering hops and spices, giving it quite a bite. Dry finish. A bit over the top in bitterness for this style, it may do well with a bit of aging.
