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.

12 oz bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar: Pale hazy peach color with a medium bright white head. Nose is fruity with some apple and citrus. Flavor starts lightly sweet with more fruit followed by a tangy, peppery bitterness and finishing lightly dry and lemony. Medium bodied and zesty with lively carbonation.

12 oz bottle-trade w/after4ever. Poured a beautiful golden color w/a moderate off white head. Wonderful classic Belgium aroma. Big, complex, spicey, sweet, fizzy, citrus flavor. Classic Belguim-I’ve had many Belgiums from Belgium which didn’t taste as Belgium, if you had it in a blind taste test you would never guess it was an American made beer. Long finish-this is a very good beer!! Thanks Tom!!!

12oz bottle- golden body with a big white head. Aroma of malt and yeast. Taste of belgian yeast and a hint of alcohol on the back end. Great Trippel.

golden pour w/ a tall thick well laced white head. Lightly floral aroma not as sweet as I’d expect from a trippel, yeasty notes w/ some bread dough, well blended together. Palate is nice and fluffy well coated and lightly creamy in the finish. Flavor is sweet grains and candied sugars some bread doughes and honey notes as well as prevelant alcohol in the swallow.

Clear golden with an appreciable head of foam though not nearly as much as a true belgium triple. Medium bodied, creamy, sweet in the middle, with popping acidity and a warming dry finish.

Just not my style. More malty flavored than hopped. Definite alcohol finish with a hint of sweetness.
