New Belgium Trippel

Brewed by New Belgium Brewing Company
Style: Abbey Tripel
Fort Collins, Colorado USA

Thanks tjthresh. Best by May 26, 06. The beer pours to a beautiful golden color with lots of visible champagne carbonation, a nice creamy white head, good lacing. The aroma is nicely floral, apparent Saaz-iness, light orange rind, herbs. The flavor is nicely malty and the Saaz hops mix well and pop in the flavor at times. Nice light black pepper, subtle Belgian spicyness/yeastiness. Quite a good brew. The palate is very easy drinking, nicely warming, nicely carbonated.

tap at brewery. golden pour with no head. lemongrass and classic floral belgium aroma. lemon belgium. very nice.

This one pours crystal clear, a sort of bright tan-yellow color. There’s lots of carbonation in the glass, and a creamy white head. Shortly after the pour, a quick swish releases a subdued candy malt aroma, with a tinge of grassy hops. The carbonation is less apparent in the mouth, and although distinctly foamy, it’s a lot less than I expect in a trippel. The flavor is again of light candied malt, with a bit of grassiness, and next to no bitterness to be found. Overall, this is a decent brew, although I’m admittedly disappointed. It’s definitely a trippel, but lacks a lot of the trademarks of the style I expected when I picked it up.

A great beer! Some hops and lots of spice on the nose. Nice dark yellow color, moderate carbonation with little head. A great malty flavor. Would buy again in a heartbeat!

Escape from Alkatraz is all I could think of as I poured this brew into my official tasing goblet. The effers shot up from the bottom liquid to fill the remainder of the 18oz of space in the glass. It’s a 30oz goblet. After the froth subsided to half I sipped and found not a trace of carbonation left in the nectar. Oh well, the froth was a might tasty, kinda creamy. It poured a pale yellow with a huge frothy head. Aroma was tropical perfume and spice. Nectar weight was medium with a creamy texture. No residual effers, not one. Fruity flavors up front including beer candy, banana, sweet cream, and some mellow citrus. The finish is fruity also with no bittering at all. I was actually surprised how similar to a true Belgian it drank. Overall: Mellow, soft, and fruity. Well ballanced and alcohol is hidden.

Nice gold pour, small head. A nice spicy flavor, citrus, doughy, abit sticky, overall quite good! thanks to Tjthresh for the brew!

Bottle: Golden with small amounts of dust flakes and head is a thing layer of foam. Lively aroma of true Belgian yeast and small notes of banana, clove and spice. The drink is both heavy and smooth with a full body and light creaminess in the finish. Strong flavors of clove are found with minor reminders of the aroma again. Impressive tripel.

Pours a clear deep golden color with a nice laceing off white head. Nose yeast, some fruits and different spices. Interesting tingly mouthfeel. Not the best tripple I’ve had,,,,but pretty damn good.
