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.

An unclear orange beer with a diappearing head. The aroma is of yeast and oranges. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw and yeast and a dry end.

Bottled. Clear golden, no head. Appley fruity nose. Sweet with clean, rounded mouthfeel and grassy, bitter finish. Sugary apples dominates. And I used to like this one...

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of xproudfoot. Hazy golden with tiny impirities and a white, lacing head. Very fruity and almost flowery. Quite full-bodied with sweetish, malty and very fruity notes - lychee and melon. Very subdued bitterness. Nice indeed. 290607

Effervescent, slightly hazy apricot colour with a thin, white head. Aroma of plastic, alcohol, mango, pineapple skin, rotting oranges, caramel. Body is fairly alcohol, obfuscating some of the other notes that I was hoping would carry over from the aroma (well, not all the aroma notes were desirable, but some were). Apricoty notes emerge before the alcohol gets too overbearing, alongside more plastic and a fair bit of treacly and caramelly malt. Finishes alcoholic and plasticy. I've found those kinds of flaws in Weyerbacher beers before, and it's too bad because generally I like this brewery.

From 50 cL bottle. Pours pale yellow with a rim from a short living head. Aroma is banana, citric and bubblegum. Flavour is flavour is sweet and slight citric with a mild malty and bitterness. Finish is slight bubblegum flavour. I don’t stand too much bubblegum flavour and this beer simply has too much of it.
