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.

12 oz bottle - Pours a fairly clear yellow/orange color with a medium sized pure white head. Aroma is fairly estery, with notes of bananna and pear, light crispy caramel, creamy, touch of grains of paradise. Flavor is light and crisp, with lightly kilned malts, touch of honey and light caramel, hint of bananna. Finish is mildly sweet. Overally pretty good. Not amazing, but pretty good.

Classicly flavored triple ale. Slightly spicy and fruity--apricot most noticeable. On draft in a goblet. Nice light copper with a frothy head.

Pours a cloudy golden color with a minimal white head. Aroma is cinnamon and bread dough. Taste is sweet roasted malt, banana, bubble gum and cinnamon. Real tasty!

Total cloud overcast dark ochre with giant off-white head. Big yeasty bouquet thick with sweet tropical fruits like banana. Also apples. Yikes, it’s very very sweet. Ugh. Candy. Dessert. Thick, custard-like. Not at all my thing.

Courtesy of sebletitje. Pours hazy deep gold with thin white head. The aroma is loaded with sugar sweet malts, candi sugar, apricots, banana and bubble gum. I also get an addition of dates and figs on successive draws. The taste has sugar sweetness up front along with malt sweetness, grainy malts and spices like cloves, anise and coriander. It also takes on a pepper quality too. Seems nice and warming. A very nice sipper type brew with a fairly thick rich body.
