Commercial Description:
Formerly Weyerbacher Belgian Triple.
At Weyerbacher we've recreated a Belgian Trippel without limitation. We use premium Pilsener malts, candi-sugar, and yeast strains- all imported from Belgium. To be true to the style, our Trippel is bottle conditioned. This means we add a bit of candi-sugar and yeast just prior to bottling. This imparts a special effervescence to the beer, a creamier carbonation, and also extends the shelf life. The on-going fermentation inside the bottle will change the character of the beer as it ages, and you'll find it becomes dryer with age. You may want to lay down a few bottles for future evaluation. We suggest storing at cellar temperatures -around 55 degrees F- and away from light.

The aroma is very much like bubble gum with cloves, spice, and malt. The appearance is cloudy gold with a hint of orange. The head is average for the style. The flavor is like the aroma with fruit. The palate is smooth. Overall I am surprised how much this is like a hefe.

nice beer, the aroma is of clove herbs and bubble gum. great tasting malts, the rest of the beer gives a joyous occasion with fruity flavor and high carbonation.

Pours light amber/orange. Aroma is vrey sweet of sugar candy malt. For an abbey triple, the taste was a little different. The beer is very sugary/sweet and thick making the 9.3% quite present and enjoyable. An excellent brew.

bottle. Pours a thick hazy amber color with a thin fizzy head. Aromas of fruity sweet esters, some bready yeast, and booze. Booze disappears in flavor, replaced by a smooth, thick, sugary sweetness. PLenty of spice notes as well, some coriander, cloves, and black pepper. Tangerines and rock candy sweetness. On the thick and heavy side on the palate.
