Commercial Description:
Voluptuous yet elegant, Epluche-culotte Trippel exudes its free spirit with orangey-amber color topped with a creamy white head. The aroma is sweet, spicy and earthy. The addition of Curacao (bitter) orange peel and whole coriander infuse color, citrus and spice while a special Belgian yeast strain imparts other enticing flavors and aromas during fermentation. Bottle conditioning creates the right effervescence for a perfectly heady experience. In the style of a Belgian Trippel, Epluche-culotte is delicious yet spirited. Originally named Extreme Polar White Bier, it got nicknamed "Panty Peeler" . We say it in French: E'pluche-culotte. The joyride awaits.

Bottle shared by Nick3 on BA. Thanks, Nick! Good old Panty Peeler - been looking forward to this one. Pours hazy golden with a large creamy white head and good lacing. Great aroma, with yeast, pale malt, light fruits, and spices. Flavor is slightly sweet pale malt, yeast, earth, citrus/orange, coriander and other spices. Palate is smooth and medium-bodied with soft yet lively carbonation. Pretty solid tripel overall.

Bottle. Pours with a much darker color than a usual triple. Pours with a fairly large head with good lacing. Fruity notes of orange and clove, nice flavors of spices and fruit, mainly orange and lemon

From bomber courtesy Hannont - mucho gracias! Pours a marmalade, muddy orange with a robust off white head. Aroma is light and fruity, yet very enjoyable.....orange, lemon...some bready/yeasty aromas, and a dose of spice...already the name of this beer is becoming more appropriate. Flavor has a heavy dose of fruit, but is also a bit more yeast-forward...plenty of coriander and other spice working in the background, but it stays light and easy to drink throughout for a Tripel. Palate is smooth and has an appropriate level of carbonation. Reminder to self...book a trip to AK one of these days, and ensure Anchorage is on the ticket...yet to be disappointed by MS!

Midnight Sun Panty Peeler on the bottle. Appearance: Pours a vibrant amber gold with a nice gathering of white froth at the top. Aroma: Cloves, Belgian yeast, flowers, orange, grapefruit and maybe even cranberry. Taste: Cloves, coriander, bitter Euro hops, funky Tripel Belgian yeast. Finishes spicy and bitter. Mouthfeel: Very fizzy and medium bodied. Not too syrupy. Overall: I like the extra goodness outside of the Tripel yeast. I’ve had so many beers in this style that have been similar, this has a nice layer of citrus and berry twang to it.

Bottle and wow what an interesting beer. Pours a gold/orange pour with a nice little head. Aroma is loaded with bread, yeast, fruit, spices and some good fruit. Flavor is much funkier than I expected with some good spice, yeast and light citrus notes. MMMM MMMM MMMM!

My Bottle from savnac says Panty Peeler, so not sure on the vintage - Pours a hazy orange with a small off white head...aroma is lightly spiced, yeasty, doughy with lemon and orange...creamy in the mouth, the citrus spice works to balance the grainy bready component...the mouthfeel is almost lusious, with fine bubbles cutting thru the gravity of the brew...finish is lightly bitter with a lingering honey sweetness...very tasty...Thanks Ira!
