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.

This Belgian style tripel pours a cloudy golden color with orange tints and a small, rapidly dissipating, white head. The aroma is very sweet with hints of apricots, yeast, and alcohol. It has a medium body with moderate carbonation and a smooth mouthfeel. The flavor is sweet and citrusy with some yeast and fruitiness. The finish is crisp and mildly sweet with a touch of hoppiness. Very nice ale.

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!

Pours a warm honey gold with a very foamy white head that lingers for a good amount of time. Hefty yeasty smell, tinged with malt and cloves. Hits the tongue warmly, and spreads across it like butter on pancakes. Speaking of which, it’s got a bit of that buttery Belgian flavor. And by a bit, I mean alot. Leaves behind a lightly bitter flavor that makes you just want to drink more.

Makes the mouth tingle from the turbulent carbonation and vast amount of spice. Apple, pear, pepper, tabacco, sourdough bread, curacao and a slight sampling of bubble gum. Well rounded, delicious beer.

Bottle. Poured orangey-golden with a slight haziness and a huge white head that diminished leisurely and left nice lacing. Rich aroma with lots of fruit (maybe some pineapple and hints of banana), yeast, spice and light citrus hops. Flavor is sweet, spicey and smooth with a lingering pepper finish. Mouthfeel is smooth, medium body with a pleasant carbonation. Belgian triples are rapidly becoming one of my very favorites!

Clear golden color with a lasting head. Yeast in the aroma as well as malt and some hops. Pretty smooth taste, medium bodied. Not creamy or chewy. Overall, a really good Triple. Had this in Lawrence, KS.

Pours a cloudy see through yellow. Nice head that stays around for awhile. Flavor is a doughy citrus with hints of bananas and cloves. Nice beer in so many ways, excellent flavor and appearence. Bravo for New Belgium for making a excellent tripple here in the states.
