Commercial Description:
Tenaya Creek Belgian Trippel. Brewed with Belgian Pilsner malt and a traditional Belgian yeast strain. Spiced using Styrian Golding hops for bitterness and Czech Saaz hops for aroma. The result is a fruity (banana) aroma and a dry spicy finish.

Draught at the brewpub, as Belgian Triple the Dutch, 8.9% ABV
Hazy blond color. Very light aroma of spices. Good body, sweetish flavor, with malt, spices (coriander), and traces of Belgian yeast. Quite solid.

Consumed on draft at brewery, 12/30/07. Cloudy, light yellow. No active bubbles, small ring of foam for a head. Aroma is clove and... maybe vanilla? Flavor is sweet with cloves and lemongrass and a touch of black pepper. The waitress compared it to Blue Moon to help me understand what the beer would tatse like. I smiled and thanked her. I think I would compare it more to Hoegarden, but only superficially. Well exectued and the alcohol content is very deceptive.

Has hints of the Belgian "trashy" yeast - but very light. Light yellow with a hint of cloudiness to it. Surprisingly flavorless for a tripel. I am not a fan of this style and this seems to be quite a weak representative of it.

Draught at the brewery. Not a characteristic trippel but still an enjoyable beer. Appearance: think hefeweizen with a medium white head. Aroma was yeasty dominance with a crisp fruit background. Flavour was uncharacteristically sweet and fruity instead of spice. Pleasant beer but not quite a trippel. I’m rating it based on my appreciation and not necessarily its "trippel" character.

Clear faint yellow pour. Typical belgian yeast smell with fruity notes that I find more like rancid fruit. More strongly flavored than their other beers, but still thin in body. Sharp lasting yeast flavor. Not my style of beer, nor a particularly great example I think.

Had this on tap at the Draft House. First thought was wow there is a lot of fruitiness and especially wheaty characters to this. And that persists when you get to sampling the beer. Doesn’t seem to match the style at all.
