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.

Two year old bottle supplied by the way too generous TAR, thanks again jeff.Crisp yellow body with a resilent white head. This makes my nose happier than anything that I’ve ever put in it. Orange sherbert and vanilla ice cream, just so damn enticing. Flavor wise this is solid, some vanilla and melon with lemon and tapioca. A nice yeast in the finish. Wow, this is amazing. One of those beers I’d rather smell than drink, yet still tastes great. Ap-3 ar-10 tas-8 pal-5 ov-18

"Okay not sure what to do with this one, its called a Tripel, that i am not buying. As a beer though, good. Poured a red/orange color with a creamy head which lasted the entire beer. Aroma was of apples and grapes. The flavor shocked me, apples a honey and vinilla. Not super sweet with a hop finish which was done right. Like i said not a typical Tripel, but good beer."

(Bottle) Pours an orangish-brown body with a moderate off-white head. Aroma of malt, toffee, apple, and honey. Flavor of malt, apple, alcohol, cookie dough, and a hint of butterscotch.

Red color with a thin head. The aroma screams of an impending corriander slurry. Surprisingly enough, the spice fades into a nice, light malt flavor that has a bit of sourness to it. Usually hate this style, but quite nice.

This bottled brew bottled on 03/03 poured a almost all foam foamy finely sized mostly diminishing white colored bubbles that left behind a poor lacing. The body contained average carbonation, was hazy and orange brown in color. Its aroma contained notes of wheat floral malt . Its mouth feel is initially tingly vinous malt with a lingering tingly palate and a malt bite aftertaste. Its flavor contained vinous thick malty mildly yeasty mild orange notes and was very tasty. All-in-all very nice brew.

GABF 05. Pours a light gold with a thin white head. Lots of banana and clove in the aroma with some pepper and other yeasty notes. Complex flavor of yeast, phenolics, esters, light pils malt and a light earthy hop bitterness. Surprisingly clean overall, and finishes a bit sweet.

Somewhat sweet caramel aroma, along with some fermantation. Medium to dark caramel colored body with good head. Caramel flavor with some slight sournessand had an alcohol warming effect. Caramel aftertaste left on palate.
