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.

Bomber courtesy/shared with ’Naka. Pours a hazy orange color with amber hues. Nose of malt and spice, with a touch of citrus and floral notes. Decently medium-bodied, spices dominate, Very dry finish, with a touch of bitterness. It really doesn’t have the big malt profile that I’ve seen in other tripels. Not a bad beer, but not necessarily a tripel in any sense of the word.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small, fizzy, white head, diminishing with spare lacing. Aroma is average malt (straw, bread), light hop (grass, flowers), average yeast (dough) with notes of alcohol, sugar, coriander, and orange peel. Full bodied, alcoholic texture, average carbonation, and a spicy finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness and acidity, light bitterness.

This was a bizarre and miscategorized IMO. Gold pour with a nice fluffy head. Very non tripel or even Belgian aroma for that matter. The nose is soft and sweet, a little bland with some pilsner malts, perhaps bready with some sweet grassy notes. Bready flavor, grassy sweetness, woody bitterness. Maybe some yeasty esters, but this is way more imperial pilsner than tripel. My rating is for an imperial pilsner instead of a tripel.

Bottle. Pours a light amberish color. What is this? A tripel or what? Aroma has caramel malt, some fruit and hops. Flavor is dry as a bone. No normal tripel notes in this one. I don’t know what I am drinking. I don’t like it...that I do know. Vegetal and herbal notes. Weird.

[Bottle @ Odense Tasting, 14th February 2009, remembered for Carsten BeerMouths fantastic 3 meals highend gastronomy.] Although it’s long time I’ve tasted these brewdrops I remember it as one we had high expects to, but it was not especially good. Need some else than all this dryness!

hazy golden with a lasting white head. Aroma of caramel, fruity hops and oranges. Dry and hoppy flavour with a slighly yeasty note. Distinctly American in character...

Okay miss labeled for sure. Was closer to a pils then a tripel. Poured cloudy amer color almost no head or lacing, right there should have told me something. Aroma was grass and herbal tea. Flavor was grassy and earthy something type of spice in there as well. Not a good one even if it was a pils, but for a tripel was a train wreck.
