Commercial Description:
Don't let Tripel's light color and delicate aroma fool you, this is one serious beer brewed with maximum effort. First, we introduce freshest barley to crystal filtered water. Second, we add the best hops shipped directly for Europe. Third, our special yeast is the catalyst for fermentation, gobbling sugar and creating alcohol as it works. Some say that the Belgian monks who first brewed this style called it triple to denoted its high alcohol content. Still others believe triple's origins lay in its triple fermentation; twice in the brewery and once in the bottle. Whatever the answer, ours is the Tripel threat.

22 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy orange with a diminished white head. Dry and mild wheaty malty aroma. Mild orange fruity to citric with a dry phenolic note. Bitter and slight yeasty finish with a distinct dry finish. Dry, spiced and mellow yeasty but somewhat rough and not with the expected mellewness and smoothness.
