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.

A great beer, very similar to a Belgian white beer. Very dry compared to most beers, but very smooth as well. One of my favorites.

12 oz bottle. Golden color, small white head, sparkling with carbonation. Decent flavor with some nice spices, tingly feel on the palate. Overall a tasty beer, not overpowering by any means.

An aroma infusion consisting of yeast and hops. It is maize in color with a good head and good lacing. A hearty taste of yeast, wheat, and hops smoothly roll over the tongue.

12oz bottle with a best bfore date of March 2002. Pours the colour of apple juuice at the start but blends towards a darker orange with the yeast. Minimal head. Aroma is a muted gentle sugar and yeast. Thick body with a creamy mouth feel. Flavour starts muted for the style but subtle flavours grow on you. A quarter of the way through the bottle and a nice spice is noticed. Nice but lacking a certain zest and flavour for style.

12oz bottle, best before 18AUG06. Pours a clear light golden color with small white head. Smells of bananas, spices, a little toast, fruity esters and some yeast. Ah, I do get a little leather--heemer77 has opened my eyes to leather in beer. Creamy mouthfeel. Taste is slightly sweet, small warmth of alcohol, small bitter finish. Full bodied, high carbonation. Fairly well balanced--good beer.

This stuff tasted really strange. It tasted like it had some tequilla mixed into it. Not really thrilled about it. Word.
