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 shared by nolankowal: Hazy gold in color with a white head. Aroma, pale malts, some muted spices, floral notes. Flavor, light malts, some bready notes, yeast, some slight spices. Not bad.

Nice yeasty smell gets you ready for a great glass of beer. Full body with smooth aftertaste. Subtle but good hops presence. Enough kick to notice, but not overpowering.

Excellent beer. Looks hazy and cloudy in the bottle, and pours with a nice golden color. Spiced flavors and aromas hit you after opening the bottle and taking drink.

Bottle. Hazy, bright gold color. Very dense, off-white head. A nose of sweet malted spice (very nice). Spicy taste to the hops, with a medium, dry finish.Very, very good.

Aroma of yeasty bread and citrusy spice. Deep golden color with a white head that laces lightly. Starts with biscuity carbonation, backed with peppery spice, and some yeasty malt. It’s very smooth, and not too sweet. The alcohol impact is noticeable, but I don’t think it affects flavor, just warms. Seems to be a bit of vanilla in the long finish. Floral hop seems to be ever present, but the other flavors and aromas tend to overpower it.

Thrown in as an extra by irishboy. I thought this was very well done. Aroma was yeasty, sweet, and had some banana and spice coming through. Flavor was very light and had a lot of carbonation and bubbles on the tongue. Pretty nice on the palate. Easy drinking tripel.

To me it was very simular to Duvel but more palatable in my opinion.. im not real huge on the Belgian style ales as I have stated before, so I’m not sure it is really fair for me to rate them as I tend to hurt their scores with my ratings. I will say this, it was probably the second best Belgian style I have had other than Rochefort Trappistes 10, which I love.

12 oz bottle purchased at Papago in Scottsdale, AZ. Best before date = 9/14/07. Poured a clear pale orange color. Head was bubbly and white with good retention, but not much lace. Aroma was yeasty bread dough, esters, and white wine with a whiff of black pepper. Lots of tiny effervescent bubbles cascaded over my tongue. White wine, lemon, and black pepper flavors. Finish was dry and somewhat bitter with lingering spiciness and alcoholic warmth.
