New Belgium Trippel

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, yeast, and spices - especially cardemomme and a lighter touch of coriander. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, yeast, and spices. Thanks yespr for sharing.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a slightly hazy pilsener golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving a discreet lacework. Distinct aroma of yeast and some fruit - perhaps even a dash of coriander. Rather full-bodied with accents of yeast and sulphur - and perhaps a banana note. Some alcohol presence showing in the finish. Thanks to PhillyBeer2112 for providing this. 060706

Golden coloured. Well hopped and relatively dry. Well balanced, complex and true to style.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a creamy white head. Dense fruity, light phenolic and mild spiced to yeasty aroma. Spiced and slight rubber flavour initially. Mild yeasty ad caramel malty flavour following. Almost classic yet somewhat too phenolic and rubber like.

Bottle. Cloudy golden coloured with a white head. Sweet aroma of fruits and spices. Flavour of fruits, spices, earth and alcohol.

Exceptional example. Very flowery aroma and palate. These guys have used some of the world's best malt to get flavours like this, and have mashed it well.

Golden color. Malt aroma and taste, sweet, light spices, uninteresting yeast.
