Commercial Description:
Trippel Belgian Style Ale, perhaps the most intriguing of New Belgium's beers, has alluring golden color that only hints at this beer's depth. European Saaz hops and an authentic Belgian yeast strain produce an earthy floral bouquet, citrus bite and woody overtones, all of which are balanced with silky malt flavors.

It’s muted in a good way, working well to blend in a myriad of spice and caramel flavors that other tripels let overpower.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy, gold color with a large, clingy, white head that fades some. Taste is of hops, wheat, yeast, fruit, caramel and malt. Some sweetness. The alcohol is hidden well. Aroma is much the same. Easy to drink and is a satisfying beer. For the price this a pretty nice beer, that is well worth visiting.

12 oz bottle. Pours clear gold with a medium white head. Aroma is of a witbier - sprices and fruit. Flavor is the same, but more so. Very, very fruity. Sweet, yeasty, tasted very much like a cross between a tripel and a wit. Odd, and not what I was expecting at all. Drinkable, but a bit too "unique."

Wow. Complex, sweet, a wonderful blend of thick malt and floral, cinnamon hops. Beautiful pour with nice head and lacing, slightly weak nose. Very surprised, you’re awesome New Belgium.

lightly hazy gold with nice lacing under a medium sized foamy white head. sweet yeasty, creamed corn, hops and alcohol in aroma. palate is bright and light bodied. flavors of hops, red apples,and sweet grains with yeast. a little light bodied compared to many belgians but its a solid effort.

(Bottle) Pours a golden color with a small amount of white foam. Sweet yeast and light citrus/spice in the aroma. Taste is of sweet rolls, light caramel, some fruit (apple, pear), and a faint tangerine note. Didn’t really get the woody overtone described in the commercial description. Medium carbonation level, without much alcohol in the taste. Refreshing, and highly drinkable.
