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.

Come out looking like a thin tripel. Slightly peachy soft amber, a little haze, but not much. The head is lacking for the style as well. Thin, frothy, white. the aroma is pretty sweet, some dryness, bubblegum. Has a sweet superficial Belgian taste. Some spice and warm dry alcohol. The palate is thin for an abbey beer. the finish was pretty dry. The alcohol is evident in every aspect.

Hazy, deep copper body with minimal white head. Strong phenolic smell of pepper and mustard and some sweet honey. Flavour of honey, maple, toasted biscuits, herbs, phenols, orange peel, and ripe banana. Sweet and slightly sticky mouthfeel.

Clear golden in body and filled with lively miniature bubbles, this has a creamy white head that interestingly laces not at all. The nose is sweet with citrus fruit and honey, spicy with clove and white pepper, and yeasty. Very creamy, light mouthfeel. It tastes of sweet pale malt, pink grapeffruit and bananas, pepper, alcohol, and a faint floral bitterness. Pretty good.

Aroma is sweet and malty with some nice spice and wine notes. Flavor is strong, but smooth with sweet fruits, spice, and a hint of hops. There is a definite alcohol presence, but it is not at all overpowering. A very well balanced ale.

Malty, sugary, marshmellowy aroma. Pours light blonde with a thin white head that doesn’t last. Malty, sugary, marshmellow, brown sugar, some citrus, some hop spice. Good but not great.

This beer has a nice amber color to it and pours no head to it at all. There is a lot of carbonation and has a smell of clove and citrus. There is a big bite to it and has a hoppy taste with a hint of fruits.

Pours a clear gold with a fizzy white head and highly active carbonation. Smells of banana, clove, citrus (grapefuit), honey and yeast. The taste is very sugary, like candy apples, with spices and fruit, mostly banana. The booze is hidden very well, but mostly by the sugar. I like that the typical belgian CO2 bomb is toned down. Warms the cockles. Not as complex as other abbeys, but its lack of complexity is made up for by its smooth carbonation and creamy mouthfeel.
