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.

Deep golden orange/yellow. Aroma is light fruits. Flavor is big fruits with bubblegum and slight metallic hints. Very smooth for a tripel without much alcohol tinge. As my friend said who tried it with me, "I could drink this all night!"

On tap at brewery. Poured a light clear copper hue with a large fluffy white head. Heavy lace from top to bottom. The aroma is grainy and malty-sweet with some caramel toffee and hints of sweet fruit. A touch of spice to round things out. Tastes of hops, dark fruit,and sweet caramel malt. A touch of yeast and spice as well. Medium in body, smooth, with good carbonation.

Honey colored. Nose offers a panopoly of fruit aromas, with perhaps a focus on a tropical banana note characteristic of weizenbiers. On the palate sweet fruit character is up front with the malt and pronounced full body character. Alcohol warmth is there, but doesn’t detract from the drinkability. Finish is long and appetizing.

Bottle from Whole Foods in Brentwood, MO. A very tasty interpretation of the classic Belgian tripel style. The pour is clear golden with yeast particulates floating around and the aroma is that of yeast and sweet fruit. The flavors of biscuit, Belgian yeast and some fruit come through as well as some spice. A very good and refreshing beer with a whole lot of flavor.

Pours amber with a medium white head. Nose is yeast and fruit. Taste is yeast, malt, banana, and alchohol, slightly spicy. Very nice.

Hard to place the aroma but it’s reminiscent of toasted bread with butter & brown sugar. Pours a dark golden in color. Flavor is amazingly complex... yeasty and toasty malt notes with a touch of sour fruit up front followed by a banana & vanilla aftertaste. Overall, I like this, it makes a nice summer beer.

Golden yellow pour with a thick white head. Nice aroma- malt, yeast, hops. Better flavor- smooth maltiness, the yeast flavor goes great with malt and hops to round out a nice flavor. Nice lacing on the glass- each sip is represented with its own layer of lace.
