Commercial Description:
Voluptuous yet elegant, Epluche-culotte Trippel exudes its free spirit with orangey-amber color topped with a creamy white head. The aroma is sweet, spicy and earthy. The addition of Curacao (bitter) orange peel and whole coriander infuse color, citrus and spice while a special Belgian yeast strain imparts other enticing flavors and aromas during fermentation. Bottle conditioning creates the right effervescence for a perfectly heady experience. In the style of a Belgian Trippel, Epluche-culotte is delicious yet spirited. Originally named Extreme Polar White Bier, it got nicknamed "Panty Peeler" . We say it in French: E'pluche-culotte. The joyride awaits.

Thanks to Tom! This beer pours to a fizzy white head atop a hazy caramel body. The aroma is hugely Belgian. Yeasty, straw, sour, spices. A strong alcohol. The flavor is much of the same that the aroma had.

Mostly clear and bold orange in color with a fizzy, bubble popping head. Yeast funk right away in the nose, along with pepper and anise, cinnamon and honey undertones and a baguette breadyness. Tingly, effervescent, bright palate. Carbonation subsides and we’re dealing with a delectable display of flavor. Coriander and nutmeg spice up a crescent roll bread persona. A slight hint at orange musk. Moderate spicy hop character. Totters carefully between bitter and sweet, and comes out as a well balanced winner. Big thanks go out to CaptainCougar for sharing this!

Thanks to Tom for sharing. Pours a light brown w/ a huge frothy white head. Smells of belgian yeast, light fruits, and alcohol. Palate is full, thick, and creamy. Flavor is sweet butter cream and brown sugar w/ carmel. A good beer.

Nearly clear, golden yellow with a generous dense white head. Sharp, tart, lemoney aroma with yeast and apple. Slightly oxidized. Honey sweet flavor with green apple, yeast, some spicyiness(from hops?) and minerals. Finishes long on the tongue.

Bottle: Cloudy pale straw-colored body with amber highlights when held to the light; medium white head. Aroma is hoppy right from the get go, but also has plenty of depth - sweet malts, alcohol, pears, apples. Taste is spicy at first, then fades into honey grains, yeast, and a light fruit tartness. Light bodied, but filling feel in the mouth, medium carbonation. A well executed tripel.

Couleur ambrée et très trouble parsemée d’une énorme mousse blanche concassée extrêmement persistante et adhérant bien à la paroi du verre. Doux arômes de grains, de coriandre, de curaçao, rempli d’Esther fruitée de toutes sortes. Toujours très fruitées en bouche, tels abricots et pêches, sur des notes épicées et levurées. Corps d’épaisseur pleine, finale amère semble dû à la présence des levures. Également une touche d’alcool en finale. Une de mes triples préférées! Bouteille Downtown Liquors, Sommerville, Juin 2005.

Pours a light amber with a quickly dissipating head. Brown sugar nose with some secondary alcohols. Taste is candied fruits; apricots, oranges, coconut and apple, with a fair amount of alcohol burn. Nice light body. No bitterness in the finish. This is delicioso.

Pours a clear golden with a thick, white head. Aroma of citrus fruits and yeast. Pretty sweet with notes of citrus/lemon, light spiciness, a floral hop character, yeastiness and some alcohol as well. Has a medium body with lively, prickly carbonation. Good head retention on this one too. Nice brew.
