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.

Pour starts out clear orange but darkens to a dirty brown- orange as the yeast is added to the glass. Lasting moderate dark foam. Aroma of orange, lemon zest and yeast. Heavy palate and a finish like seven grain bread. Strong candy sugar start and middle without being overly sweet and which then melds into the bread flavour. Near room temperature a strong saltiness emerges. Not groovy! Nice for a sipper but too high in alcohol for summer on the patio.

22oz bottle from hannont on 5/8/08/ Pours a cloudy yellow amber color. Excellent aroma, of a little bit of banana, some corriander. really nice. Taste is sweet, easy to drink. A bit orange zest melds with the sweetness. Excellent. Truly one of the best Belgian triples. A pleasant surprise. I feel no qualms about rating this much higher than the average.

Draft at brewery, white head, cloudy gold color, strong orange aroma. Well concealed alcohol. A very tasty brew with a orange and spice notes. Very drinkable

I really enjoyed this, very traditional, and true to style. A nice tribute to regional Belgian styles, and this brewery has it in spades. Lots of effervescent lighter fruits in this one, pears, grapes, and a light yeastiness, which mellows into a nice creamy mouthfeel. Very drinkable, finishing very dry on the palate.

Bottle. Fine aroma. Brown with light head, spicy taste, fine brew. Surprised the label met ATF approval.

22 oz. bottle. Produces a decent head atop a cloudy orange body. The orange is clearly noticeable on first aroma. This beer is surprisingly smooth and mellow considering its ABV. Not a huge fan of this variety but this stuff is OK.
