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. Aroma of fruit and spice. Tastes of fruits, malty caramel and then spice. Black pepper, bitter orange peel and corriander. Quite nice.

Bottle shared at the Smoke from the Oak release, by the illustrious and lovely Naproxen. Bottled as Panty Peeler. Pours a light hazy gold with a thin white head. Citrus, coriander, and yeast on the nose. Medium to thick body with a nice sweetness and a hint of banana. Finishes lightly and with more banana and yeast. This was pretty tasty, but did not result in the peeling of any panties, so the label may have been a bit misleading.

Bottle. After almost a year and a half of trying to trade for or buy this beer I’m finally able to acquire 3 bottles !!! This review is for the two my wife and I drank last night, labeled as Panty Peeler (accurate name !!). Pours a hazy orange, small wispy off-white head that hangs around the edges. Aroma is sweet notes of orange, banana, spices and yeast. Flavor delivers on what the aroma promised, spices, orange, mango and a touch of yeast. I realize they call this a triple, but with the curacao and coriander, this could easily pass for an Imperial Wit or a Triple Wit (too bad these styles don’t exsist !) Really great and enjoyable, too bad I’m sending the third bottle out on a trade. I’ll need to get some more of this !

22 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy orange gold with a moderate linen white head that lasted through mid-glass and left virtually no lace. Pleasant aroma of Belgian yeast along with some malt, orange, and lemon. The flavor is very enjoyable with Belgian yeast, malt, orange, lemon, coriander, and candi sugar. Mild bitterness at the finish. Just a bit slippery on the palate, kind of like a peach or mango, which suits this beer quite well. The alcohol is well hidden. Overall. a very good American tripel.

Bottle from Liquid Solutions as Panty Peeler. Hazy orange gold color with a large white head that does some lacing. Aromas of spice and miniscule funk. Medium body with fine carbonation. Flavor is a little kandi, some citrus zest, and some really nice spice - including perhaps some vanilla. A refreshing tripel compared to many. Finishes towards dry. Really very tasty.
