Commercial Description:
Our Trippel Belgian Style Ale (pronounced triple) opens with a bold blast of hops that slowly gives way to the fruity esters implied by our Belgian yeast strain. The Three Graces hand-painted on the label are Zeus’s daughters Aglaia (splendor), Euphrosyne (mirth) and Thalia (good cheer). In the Belgian tradition of brewing singles, doubles and triples, Trippel is the strongest with the longest fermentation. Remarkably smooth and complex, our bottle-conditioned Trippel is spiced with a trace of coriander.

Had it bottled. 7.8% alcohol, way too strong. Unfiltered beer. Taste was abnormal and unpleasant. Will not be having it again.

Pours pale yellow with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma is fresh baked bread, overripe fruit, and spices. The flavor is very spiced with caramel and fruit. Nice beer.

Small head, but not bad looking. Very sweet nose, sense an artificiality, but it’s not offensive. Full palate, lingers with a slight bitterness. Honey taste, hops are flowery, rich, definite coriander. This is a really solid beer.

Ha! Never rated this, glad I sat down. White pepper aroma, and peanut butter, i swear. Now I want to eat this with Thai food. White sugar, basil, peanut, coriander and white pepper. I can’t get the association out of my head now.

Poured a light color with a small white head. Nose and taste of sweet hops. Not the best trippel I’ve had, but tolerable.

Pours a deep gold, with a little white head. A nice Belgian brew. Fairly spicy and still smooth and quite drinkable. A thumbs up.

Pours clear amber gold with a nice, slightly off white head. Sweetish, yeasty aroma, with some flowery hop notes. Flavor is sweet at first, with a finish that grows progressively drier and more bitter. Some citrus, banana, and spice flavors in there. Not bad.

More mouthfeel than typical trappist ales. Nice spicy hop finish. Would like a bit more fruit but still a great beer.

Slightly hazy, lightly orange tinted golden colored liquid. Minimal head with minimal lacing. Citrus and yeast notes. Floral and spicey. Sweet, fruity smell. Nice and sweet upfront, but agreeably so. Caramalized white fruits. Light malt kisses. Bready yeast notes. Hops stop by to say ’hello’, but don’t stick around. Nice and creamy, as it should be, for the style. When looking for an affordable trippel (i.e.-can’t afford a true belgian today) this would totally work. New Belgium does good, again.
