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.

Pours a fairly hazy, dark golden honey color. Nice, fluffy foam head, that leaves a slight foamy film covering. Lacing is solid, but slippery. The nose is fairly muted, as far as tripels go. Nice belgian yeast presence. Slight barnyard notes. Some citrus notes. Banana. Nice hints of spices. Minor phenol presence. Bananas and tree fruits. Nice medium level of peppery spice. Good presence of belgian yeast notes. Very nicely balanced. Very smooth and creamy texture. Nicely carbonated, with those tiny little bubbles, that I love so much. Very drinkable. Especially with the ABV so well hidden.

pours cloudy gold, with a huge white head. Lots of bubblegum in the aroma, plus a lot of banana and pineapple mixed with a little white wine. The flavor is aweet and fruity, but not as much as the aroma would suggest. Its a little more woodsy and citrusy.

Very creamy high carbonated triple. Reminds me of a strong hefeweizen. I taste banana, citrus and clove. Peppery Smell and peppery end end with very hidden 9.3% abv. Very good!

Poured a hazy golden yellow with 1" white head. Smelled faintly of bananas, yeast and cinnamon. Tasted bananas with other fruits, yeast with slight bitterness. Overall a good beer.

(Bottle into a trappist glass) Poured a dark amber/ light orange color with no head. Aroma had a hint of fruit sweetness and citrus. Also a very heavy yeast smell that reminded me of Thanksgiving stuffing! Taste was a little sweet which does not really fit the style. A good beer, but more reminiscent of a very strong weizen. Warning, the alcohol is very well hidden here...that 9.3% will catch up to you!
