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.

22oz. bomber thanks to Joeec5. Hazy amber color with a good sized white head. Aroma of caramel, granny smith apples and straw. Sweeter than I normally like a Tripel, but very tasty. A bit of green apple tartness helps cut the sweetness. Some caramel malt and citrus in there as well.

Yellowish with a near green shine; good white fluffy head. Perfumed, Belgian Wyeast N° ZYX nose, spicey, citrus. Phenolic taste, sweet-citrussy, spiced. Burning MF, slick, medium bodied. I’m starting to find these over-heated pseudo-Belgians revolting. A cultbeer based on a label and a funny name?

Bottled. Muddy orange colour, very brief head. Estery pineapple aroma. Sweet and fruity with some citric acidity and strong lemonady orangey notes. Slight almondy yeast character.Too sweet for me to fully appreciate.

Bottle. Tasting session with omhper and ante.!
To me this is a Belgian yeasty, fruity blonde strong beer with a slightly odd sourness on top. And a touch of honey below. Apricot candy fits in right there somewhere in between.

Orange hazy colour. Yeasty and orangey aroma. Dry flavour of oranges and minerals with sweet undertones of apricot. Sweeter finish of marmelade and brown sugar.

Poured an amberish color wih a foamying off-white head. Aroma of caramel, something else that I can’t read from my notes, apples, and yeasty. Flavor is malty and sweet but with some tart apples.

Bottle. Explosive white, frothy head atop a rather clear and very active gold body. (By the end of the bottle, it got quite murky, but the top was very clear) Nice, spicy, citrus, banana and vanilla nose. Very dry and astringent mouthfeel. Very jagged, not as smooth as I had expected and hoped for. I was surprised by the flavor as well. Apples, pineapple, some corriander, honey and a slight hint of banana and maybe a dash of citrus. All in all, not bad, just too dry and astringent for what they’re trying to accomplish.
