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.

Golden color. Lightly hoppy aroma, which remains very fruity and yeasty, giving a nice blend of apples ,oranges, and pears, along with a touch of honey covered Belgian malts. Flavor is heavily sweet, overly so, but still full of rich toffee and caramel malt flavors. Full of alcohol, light fruits, light yeast, combined with a fairly watery texture. A nice, straightforward Tripel.

Light amber color, with an tan/white head. Aromas are sweet citrus fruit, yeast, and malt. Taste citrus, yeast, some spice, and maybe a little bit of honey. It’s sweet, but in a good way, not sticky sweet at all. Alcohol is well hidden. Quite nice. Thanks to derekarent for trading me this one.

Orange/amber body topped by a fleeting off-white head. The aroma is sweet, yeasty, fruity, and touched with spice. Medium bodied with ample carbonation. The flavor was spiced fruit cut with alcohol. Interesting and rewarding but not extraordinary.

Thanks to footbalm for this. Pours hazy deep gold with gigantic, creamy, off-white head. Aroma of citrus, candi sugar, Brett, orange zest, spice. Very complex aroma. Tastes fruity, with mucho candi sugar, orange peel, coriander, spices. Very well balanced, and as far as this Ph.D. is concerned, very underrated. As underrated as free breast implants on Army females.

Dark orange, with light, bubbly head. Vinious, maybe my sample was getting a little old. Physallis, a little balsamic twang and some peach gives this a very "fresh" feeling that I enjoyed. Honey sweet, with a powerful alcohol feel that dries out your mouth. Maybe a bit too carbonated for the style, but it helped balance out the aridity somewhat.

Golden color with big head that goes down quicky. Acid, honey and fruity aroma. Sweet and peach fruitiness taste with some acidity. Smooth mouthfeel. Not bad but improvement is needed to reach Belgian standards.

Pours amber with a generous head that lingers a while. Great lacing throughout each glass. Smells of banana and lemon. Tastes of caramel, honey, vanilla and raisins. Lots of carbonation and great mouthfeel. One of the better American Abbey Trippels I’ve had.
