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.

Bottle. Clear golden with thin white head which clears out quickly. Mellow pear and melon aromas. Smooth, soft palate. Tastes of bread, straw, and cantelope. Finishes of dry malt. Good American trippel .

Bottle. Pours clear golden color with white head. Aroma is spicy, yeasty, with notes of citrus. Flavor is sweet and spicy, with a little bite at the finish. Maybe the driest tripel I’ve ever had. One outstanding beer for the price.

It’s a pretty clear pale yellow color with a tinge of orange. The pour is all head due to bottle fermentation no doubt. The aroma is yeasty and a little moldy. The flavor is sweet and bites at the end. There is bit of floral quality to the aroma and taste as well. The beer tastes much better at 58 deg. than at the suggested 45 deg serving temperature.

Bottle; poured a gold color with medium to large white head. Aroma of yeast, flowers, sugar and spice. Flavor was dominated by spice, with some apples, yeast, and flowers. Found this to be fairly one dimensional and I didn’t evern finish the small bottle.

Sampled on draught at the Papago Brewing Company tavern in Phoenix, AZ. Pours a semi-clear golden brew with an average white head that has some good retention and lacing. Aroma of fruity golden malt, some apple, candi sugar, a touch of yeast and some flowery hops. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with flavors of sweet apples, some yeast, golden grain malt and a touch of alcohol warmth. Finish is semi-sweet, a little alcohol character with some yeast aftertaste.

Pineapple nose. Pours pale, with nice head and amazing lacing. Yeasty sweetness hits nicely floral and strong hops (strong, at least,for style). Cane sugar is a bit overwhelming, which I consider the beer’s only weakness. Warm, warm alcohol. Very drinkable, almost sublime. Will purchase more!
