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.

22oz. Hazy orange color with dense white head. Spices, orange, yeast, and a little jammy. Some alcohol comes through. Flavor is lackluster but not bad. Stone fruit and light hops. Decent.

Pours a clear golden color with a frothy white head. Lacing is very nice. Aroma is funky. Tastes of spice and Belgian yeast dominate the palate. Finishes with a spicy warming alcohol feeling.

Pleasant golden color, nice creamy head, complex spicy aroma, great complex flavor sweet spicy and bitter finish, lovely mouthfeel. It seems a little bitter for the style, ? "west coast", but at $4.99 for a bomber ( at Applejack) it is a great bargin.

Now that Green Flash has hit the borders of Ohio I have been looking forward to trying some of their products. Currently sitting on this as well as the imperial IPA and imperial stouts I opted for a change of pace first. This was a solid American made interpretation of the trippel style. When a new shipment makes it eastward I am likely to pick up another one. While not a steal it is still a great value if you can find it for $6.99 or less.

Aroma / Appearance - A turbulent frothy beige head was absorbed into the butterscotch colored body. The nose was very sweet with a combination of Wurther’s hard candy, peach, citrus and orange scones melding with the alcohol, waxy chocolate and vanilla beans to create a complicated aroma.

Flavor / Palate - The first sip immediately rewarded the palate with semisweet chocolate flakes, peanut butter brittle and ginger. A spicy transition left citrus on the tongue before turning into molasses. The final stage was a nice vinous finish that dried out the throat. Deceptively easy to drink it was not long before the bomber was totally empty. This was a great value and solid release that sets the bar high for the rest of their line.

Bottle, Kegs & Barrels in Plano. Pours a nice hazy deep gold with nice off-white head. Aroma Of bannana, pepper, and faint clove. Flavor has a nice fruit taste along with some bannana, pepper, alcohol, clove. Mouthfeel is full body with medium carbonation. Overall a pretty good belgian style beer.
