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.

Courtesy of Wohlfs. Bottled in Dec. ’02. Orange/amber with nice white head, made of tiny bubbles, fades but never dissapears. Aroma very yeasty, fruity, malty with some alcohol presence. Flavor much the same with some floral hop presence and a metallic finish to it.

Clear golden-copper body with a loose, soapy gray head. Aroma has a vegetal quality plus vanilla bean and some nuttiness. Reminds me of a sweet cocktail. Sweet tripel with lots of under-attenuated pale malt. Little esters or phenols. Too cloying and sweet.

One of my favorite American Tripels. Pours a kind of apricot color with a big rocky white head. Big tropical fruit flavors mixed with some big spicy hits. Abv is well hidden so theres not a lot of heat to this one. Very drinkable.

Bottled in Dec. ’02. Hazy light brown color with a decent off-white head and no lacing. Malty, sugary aroma. Very estery with hints of bubblegum. Sweet flavor with lots of residual sugar remaining. Decent hop balance and a noticeable alcohol presence. Probably the hoppiest trippel I have had.

Bottle: Courtesy of wolhfs. Aroma is fruit, grape, buttery caramel, and terriyaki. Pours a cloudy orange with a decent off-white head that lasts a minute or so. Fruity and citrusy up front. Finish is a little spicey, peppery, and hoppy. Moderately acidic in the finish. Fruity and flowery hop aftertaste.

Medium head, clear golden. Creamy aroma with citrus hints, fresh cut apples, candi sugar. Quite sweet with a nice malty complexity. Finish is sweet but hoppy bitterness comes through. Great balance.
