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.

660ml bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki, American Weeks 2009)
Hazy yellow, small head. Honey in the aroma. Soft sweet malty body. Actually, make that sickly sweet. Not an unpleasant taste, a bit boring, but it’s the sweetness that has to go.

Bottle. Medium high and lasting off-white head. Slightly hazy yellow to peach coloured body. Fruity and hoppy aroma with notes of soap. Astonishingly mild and fruity flavor in spite of the high alcohol percentate. Low carbonation and a long aftertaste.
