Commercial Description:
Formerly Weyerbacher Belgian Triple.
At Weyerbacher we've recreated a Belgian Trippel without limitation. We use premium Pilsener malts, candi-sugar, and yeast strains- all imported from Belgium. To be true to the style, our Trippel is bottle conditioned. This means we add a bit of candi-sugar and yeast just prior to bottling. This imparts a special effervescence to the beer, a creamier carbonation, and also extends the shelf life. The on-going fermentation inside the bottle will change the character of the beer as it ages, and you'll find it becomes dryer with age. You may want to lay down a few bottles for future evaluation. We suggest storing at cellar temperatures -around 55 degrees F- and away from light.

Bottle from The Annex, Asbury Park, NJ. Pours a hazy yellow gold with loose head and some retention. Aromas of candi sugar, malt, and banana. Flavors of candi sugar, coconut, banana, and yeast. Alcohol throughout profile but is kept in check. Goes down easy considering the ABV. I can see why the monks are so merry.

This is a delicious spicy ale brewed in the Belgian tradition. It is slightly cloudy with a golden color. They got the recipe exactly right when they decided to call this an abbey tripel.

My wife is usually the fan of this style, but I must admit I liked it as well. Smell was fruit basket etc. The taste at first was lager and then quickly fruit sweet....at all times smooth...give it a try its different.

12 oz bottle. Golden pour with a medium fizzy off white head. Aroma of yeast, bread and pepper. Full bodied taste of bananas, sugar, yeast, and faint citrus fruits. Nice dry finish.

Bottle via trade with Birdiebeagle. Pours a hazy orange-gold color. Moderate foamy head that fades quickly but never completely goes away. Aroma is candi sugar and dried cherries. Flavor is sweet fruits, banana, sugar and Belgian yeast. Alcohol burn in the finish, but not overpowering. Smooth mouthfeel considering the ABV. Not great, but respectable.
