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 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.

Bottle. This bottle had more sediment in it than I have ever seen, which didn’t help with my first impression. Golden pour with huge lots of solid matter. Flavor was sub par at best. Drink other offerings from weyerbacher not this.

12 ounce bottle at Capital Ale House Downtown. Pours a hazy golden orange color with a large head. Average head retention and lacing. Aroma of yeast, banana, citrus and tropical fruits. Taste is bready and yeasty with huge citrus and tropical fruit notes. Light peppery spice also. Full bodied. Nice beer.

Bottle. Pours cloudy golden color, with large, foamy head - which disappeared quickly. Fruity, malty aroma. Sweet, fruity flavor. Slightly hoppy finish. As noted, bottle conditioning left some yeast in bottom of glass.

Lightly hazed gold with foamy white head and lace. Aroma is straw/burlap or barnyard like. Flavor is light brown sugar, pepper, and bread. A bit of a whang to it as well. Carbonation a little hot. A drinkable beer.

Bottle. Poured a nice blond color with a thin head. Nose was of candied sugars, yeast. Nice depth and complexity to this. Easy drinking with fruit notes, a slight bubblegum flavor was something I could do without, but a nice representation of the style. Worth a try

Pours cloudy golden with a small white head. Fruity aroma, with banana, tropical fruit, and some mildly spicy yeast. Flavor follows the aroma well, but with an almost cloying amount of candy sugar. Palate is mildly spicy, a bit too sweet, musty, and nicely effervescent.

Poured a hazy golden color with a thick layer of white head. Aroma is alcohol, spices, and candi-sugar. This is an enjoyable triple and I would drink it again.
