Commercial Description:
Don't let Tripel's light color and delicate aroma fool you, this is one serious beer brewed with maximum effort. First, we introduce freshest barley to crystal filtered water. Second, we add the best hops shipped directly for Europe. Third, our special yeast is the catalyst for fermentation, gobbling sugar and creating alcohol as it works. Some say that the Belgian monks who first brewed this style called it triple to denoted its high alcohol content. Still others believe triple's origins lay in its triple fermentation; twice in the brewery and once in the bottle. Whatever the answer, ours is the Tripel threat.

Bottle from Greenwood Gourmet Grocery in Greenwood, VA near Crozet. Pours light amber with a minimal head and light head retention. Surprisingly clean and dry aroma... some fruitiness. Odd grassy taste leads into a fairly fruity and caramelly taste. An odd creature here, but I like it. I think.

From a bottle, pours golden copper color. Aromas of hops, yeast and a fruityness. Not much similiarity to other tripel’s i’ve had. didnt notice the alcohol at all, and was actually surprised it was 9%. Very drinkable.

22oz bomber: Sunset orange pour with a nice frothy head that offers plenty of lacing. Dirty, yeasty nose with a healthy blast of lemony hops. The body seems thin, but packs an alcoholic punch. A nice layer of honey malt anchors the body, with esthery apple and peach adding some dimension. The hops seem to mirror the esthers, lending a nice apricot hoppiness to the finish. Not a very good tripel in my books, but an interesting beer none-the-less.

a hoppy tripel, what the hell? minus 5 for style, but plus 5 for enjoyability. clear golden with the typical triple aroma, but the flavor is very hoppy for the style.

I almost hate this beer. I say almost because I can’t truely hate a beer. Beer is man other best friend. That being said. This beer is just plain off. Taste is rancid,, cringe-ing-ly bad. Pours a crystal clear copper. 9% only redeemable quaility.

Sparkling gold with a largish white head. Sweet tangerine aromas mingle with some lightly doggy ones. Taste has relatively high initial bitterness which masks the sweetness that lies under this beer. Slightly hot alcohol bittering also a factor, and tangerine taste is also present. Bit of harsh grainyness lingers in the finish.
