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.

The color was golden. The head was creamy, white, and fizzy. The aroma was pecan, sweet, and powder. The flavor was sweet, tart, alcohol, and belgian yeast. The palate was lively. The finish was warm.

Pours a clear soft gold with a one finger frothy head. The nose is nutty and earthy, sweet, lightly yeasty and bready, a background fruitiness and some alcohol. The flavor is malty, kind of rusty, not as crisp and peppery as most trippels. The palate is crisp and a little dry. Not too impressive.

I’ve not sampled many of this style before...Pours deep gold color with a very large white head and fair amount of lacings. Aroma is various spices. Taste is sweet malts, spices, bready, and some euro hops. Decent pour that is dominated by the malts and spices. Could use a few more hops IMO. Hides 7.8% abv well except for the effects.

Poured from bottle a light golden with a small off-white head that faded quickly. Nose is of yeast, bread, and light spice and bubble gum. Flavor is sweet with bubble gum, a mild spice, yeast, honey and caramel. The palate is mostly sweet followed by a soft mild spice and moderate carbonation. Overall, decent but lacks some in flavor and mouthfeel.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, yeast, and spices - especially cardemomme and a lighter touch of coriander. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, yeast, and spices. Thanks yespr for sharing.

On tap at the brewery. Clear golden color with a nice white head. Smells like medium fruit and spice, sort of cake like in aroma. Tastes of caramel, malt and yeast.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a creamy white head. Dense fruity, light phenolic and mild spiced to yeasty aroma. Spiced and slight rubber flavour initially. Mild yeasty ad caramel malty flavour following. Almost classic yet somewhat too phenolic and rubber like.
