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.

AirForceHops (1846) - Epping, New Hampshire, USA - JAN 6, 2013
750 ml bottle. Purchased @ Julio’s Liquors.Tons of carbonation in the slightly golden liquid producing thick lasting head that retained until the end. The aroma was of weak bread malt and mild Belgian yeast with notes of candi sugar. Lots of fruity notes. Flavor is also quite fruity and fairly sweet with the addition of effervescent mouthfeel. Carbonation releases the complex Belgian flavors. Since it is a younger bottle (only cellared about 4 months) the ABV is noticeable in the finish. Overall, it’s a nice Triple.

unclemike (1885) - Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA - JAN 2, 2013
Deep straw colored with medium to large bubbles. I’m getting the usual bananas, spice, and bubblegum on the front and a caramel maltiness on the end of the aroma. Sweet with a hint of alcohol and esters. Banana lingers. I enjoyed this. Did seem a bit heavy though

solidfunk (1783) - Ontario, CANADA - DEC 31, 2012
Smells floral with a little booze. Tastes like boozy perfume - a little too heavy on that vibe. Like schwaling a bottle of armani eau de toilettle. Bitterness at the end is too pronounced as well. Pours cloudy blond with fizzy, quicly dying head. Despite the flaws this is actually ok - dont get me wrong. Bottle still waiting in Penn station.

jhgrantjr (295) - Tennessee, USA - DEC 24, 2012
Poured from a bottle, beautiful Belgian gold color with small white head. Aroma of Belgian sugars and yeast, maybe citrus. Taste is sweet, not bitterness. Some earthiness and carbonation in the mouth. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours a shiny copper with minimal head. Great aromas, real strong in the nose. You can definitely taste the pre bottled bitters. Just a hint of the sugar. This ones a more complicated beer.

pottygok (346) - Ohio, USA - NOV 28, 2012
Aroma: Sour, tart aromas--resin hops with dried fruits--with hints of caramel sweetness underneath. Appearance: Cloudy gold with rocky, white head. Taste: Medium sweetness with a light sourness in the finish. Palate: Full body, thick creamy texture, lively carbonation, long soft finish. Overall: While it’s not mind blowing, it’s a really rich, complex and well-developed beer.

Darwenus (382) - Virginia, USA - NOV 27, 2012
Pours yellow with an average head. The aroma is faint, just kind of smells like a very average beer with maybe a hint of the musky, fruity richness of a better Belgian ale. The flavor is like a decent Belgian cut with a crappy, mass produced American lager. No.

Good sweet trippel. Very sweet with a pear and green apple taste. Lots of yeast presence as well. Bubbly and light. Tasty.

brigg (460) - Washington DC, USA - NOV 9, 2012
(Growler from Whole Foods) Cloudy orange body with a thin off-white head. Deliciously strong aroma of yeast, bubble gum, banana, spices and some orange. Flavor of bubblegum, lots of spice (clove), moderate alcohol, fairly sweet, yeast and straw. Medium to full body, rounded, thick feel.
