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.

bottle. pours cloudy amber moderate white head. great aroma - fruity musty yeast. taste brings in banana and tart orange. mild bitter hop and just the right bite from the alcohol. unlike many tripels this one is crisp, not cloying. more akin to the belgain golden ale mentioned on the label. this one is a keeper, i’ll have to throw some in the cellar.

750 ml bottle, corked and caged, from Wine Specialist. Poured a hazy orange/apricot color with a white head that went down rapidly. Aromas of candi, honey and a hint of funk? Medium bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is a fruity tripel, that finishes pretty dry and woody. Wood? Funk? Yeast! Bet it’s yeast. Drinks really well, and it is interesting in a tasty way. Good ale.

Pours an attractive cloudy orange colour with a fairly large white head. Aroma is sweet and enticing, almost nectary- honey, maple syrup and candy. Mouthfeel is full and well carbonated, with semi sweet, acidic wheat taste all the way through. Nice beer!

Hazy golden/amber color with thin white head. Yeasty and sweet fruity aroma and flavor. High carbonation, not as drinkable as other tripels I’ve tried.
