Commercial Description:
Our Trippel Belgian Style Ale (pronounced triple) opens with a bold blast of hops that slowly gives way to the fruity esters implied by our Belgian yeast strain. The Three Graces hand-painted on the label are Zeus’s daughters Aglaia (splendor), Euphrosyne (mirth) and Thalia (good cheer). In the Belgian tradition of brewing singles, doubles and triples, Trippel is the strongest with the longest fermentation. Remarkably smooth and complex, our bottle-conditioned Trippel is spiced with a trace of coriander.

Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is belgian yeast, dark fruit, candi sugar. Flavor is sweet malt, yeast and spice. Packs a punch.

The look is a golden yellow color with a decent nice looking white head and clear in look. Smell is caramel, fruity, yeast, and earthy. Medium body. Taste is a touch of alcohol, yeast, fruit, and malts.

Gold pour with a small white head. Aroma is pears, spice, and grain. Similar flavors, lots of green apple and some caramel. I can pick out the booze in the finish, which is weird considering the ABV.

Bottle - poured into Stella glass. Heady, very nice with 1 1/2 " head. Medium amber color. Pleasing smell, very noticeable fruit/spice flavors. Let sit for a few minutes until head down to less than 1/4", also to let warm to mid 40-degrees. Taste - definite hint of spice, floral notes abound. Enjoyable and worth the price! I’d buy another 6-pack or would gladly try on tap. Update: Have since enjoyed several times, each time my appreciation increases - great beer for the price!

12 oz pours golden straw, and in fact, the straw follows in the flavor, along with faint citrus, mineral and spice. Body is smack between a wit and golden ale. Nice dry mineral finish.

Clear honey golden with a chalky fluffy head showing good retention and solid lacing. Perfumey aroma of straw and dried flowers. sweet malty palate with spicey yeast accents and a dry finish. After a while some subtle herbal elements come through. Nice.
