La Trappe Tripel

A truly fine Abbey ale ale as are most. A golden ale with a hint of red. Very malty flavour with a strong yeast note and a hint of fruit.

Dark golden amber with a foamy white head. Nice fruit blend of berries. Sour citrus intial taste that left to a floral finish.

This is very different from most triples. Much more of an amber color than the typical golden color. Also much more caramel sweet notes with this beer, and less citrusy than normal. I think it is wonderfully clean and refreshing, yet has some characteristics of their dubbel. If you’re a true triple lover, this may not be your favorite though. However, if you love dubbels, give this a try...you’ll love it.

cloudy orange with a citrus fruit aroma. very dark for a tripel. small head. not as yeasty and sugary as many tripels. some darker fruits and marshmallows in flavor. actually tastes and looks more like a dubbel to me. not a fan of this brewery.

Bottle. Spicy (nutmeg, pepper, anise) dried fruit aroma. Peach-amber color with moderate head and effervescence. Sour corn malt flavor primarily with raisin, peach and pepper notes and a light bitter finish. Has quite a bit of lager characteristics in the flavor - sort of like I spiiled some MGD into a decent tripel - very strange for a Belgian style beer. Okay taste but man I don’t really get the lager flavor and had to knock off some points for that.

Dark copper appearance with a medium size tan head. Sweet smelling, yeasty, fruity aroma. Taste was malty, spicy peppery and modestly sweet. Well carbonated, medium to full bodied mouthfeel leading to a long lasting, dry, fruity finish.

Very good tripel. Fine aroma, great filling taste. fruits. I was impressed with this one. Not too abstract- easy to enjoy! Long finish.

Pours a more amber color than most tripels...and has a good looking head...unlike the other two konings I’ve had...it actually had yeast floaties too. This beer actually smells a bit trappist...yeast, candi sugar, and some dark fruit. The flavor is not overwhelmingly great...but it is very balanced. Spicey, yeasty, sweet, and fruity. Mouthfeel is considerably thick compared to most of the triples I’ve had.
