Sampled on draft at the Pittsburgh location this beer poured a dark caramel color with a small white head. The aroma is yeasty, bready and moderately hoppy. The flavor is rather bitter with a yeasty and bready middle and a bitter hoppy finish. The mouthfeel is moderately thick. Way to hoppy for a Tripel.

Taster on tap at brewpub; labled Belgian Triple Threat. Light golden color. Very malty with just enough yeasty sweetness. A little spicy.

On tap at the Devon location... Appears a transparent gold with a small white head that slowly fades. Smell is of honey, bread, flowers, citrus, and candy sugar, along with some earthy notes. Taste is of the same aromas with some natural spices like cardamom and pepper rousing about that is completely natural from the yeast strain. Mouthfeel is honey sweet, smooth, with some spices clinging to the palate.

Poured a dark golden color with a small white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus fruits, coriander, yeast, and orange peel. Taste of more citrus fruits, white pepper, earthy yeast, spices, and alcohol as well.

Draft at the brewery: Poured orange yellow with a small white head. Light yeast aroma. Flavor is lightly yeasty with mild bubblegum and alcohol. Sweet finish. Decent.

Pours a little light in color for a trippel ... looks more like a pilsner. Aroma contains typical Belgian yeast spiciness and some sourness. Flavor is very sweet with plenty of cotton candy, rock candy, and yeasty tones. There is a slightly detectable solvent taste which distracts. This beer is a little subpar, but I may be overly harsh because of a love for this style.

Strong beer. Had an acidy type taste but was very good. Had two and wouldn’t have minded more. Although I have had a lot better Trippel’s this one hit the spot for a quick one. Probably better in the summer when it is hot out..
