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.

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!

Hazy golden color. Aroma is citrusy, full of spices and yeast. Taste is sweeter with fruits, and some yeast in the back end. Leaves a little bit of a bite in the aftertaste. There’s really not a big alcohol present in this one even though it’s just slightly over 9%. Not a bad beer. I love how happy the monks look on the bottle.

Had this out of the bottle. You can’t go wrong with this one. Highly carbonated with some banana flavors. Moderately sweet with a fruity aroma. I wouldn’t want to drink more than one in a given session, but it is decent change of pace. The alcohol is well hidden though I did feel a slight burn with my first sip.

Bottle from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in DC. Pours a hazy golden color with a fizzy white head. Aroma is banana, clove, wheat, yeast. Flavor is wheaty and yeasty with banana, clove, honey, Asian pear and other light fruits, as well as some alcohol. Body is medium-light and carbonation is high. Overall, pretty good. Not really to style though since it seems a little more like a strong German hefeweizen than a trippel.
