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.

I had this on tap at had this at Belgium Comes to Cooperstown 2005 even though I’ve seen this in numerous cases and variety packs which I’ve been tempted to pick up. Its taste had a citrusy-malty tone to it and it seems to pride itself on its sweetness factor. It wasn’t a bad brew but to me its kind of like the last of the candy beers Wyebacher put out until it kicked major butt with its Quad, Prophecy and Herecy brews (Decadence?).

Sub-par triple; sour palate with abundant perfume and flowers in the nose; flat body; this is good, and I’d gladly drink this again, but probably wouldn’t buy it myself

Pours cloudy yellow, no head. Virtually no aroma, little yeastiness. Taste is somewhat bitter, dry. Overall it is ok. Not very pleasing.

12 oz bottle obtained from a trade with Firemoose15. Thanks Mel! Pours cloudy amber with a fizzy white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is doughy, a little alcohol, and a bit of green apple. Flavor is of yeast, some apples, pears, bannanas. On the palate the mouthfeel of this is good. Some nice carbonation makes it feel a bit like champagne. Crisp and clean on the palate and medium bodied. Pretty tasty tripel in American style. Enjoyable.

Pours a clear pale yellow with a very scant amount of white fizz. Aroma is sugared candies, orange, and other citrus. Taste is very tart citrus, almost like a cider, then mellows into an orangey citrus sweetness. First time I had this beer it didn’t appeal to me. Now a few years later I tried it again and really really liked it. Bit watery on the front end but nice alcohol malt presence on the back. Two of these and you are done for the night.

Pour is hazy orangey golden with a thin bright white head...smell is spicy with clove and pepper and also has a touch of sweetness...taste is taste is very lackluster...some sweetness and yeast with a lot of bitter orange rind...some pepper to the finish...

12 oz. bottle: Wow, 74 percentile? I think that this beer is way underrated. Pours a slightly cloudy light orange with pink hues, had an excellent white head with fabulous retension (this thing stacked up 1-2 inches above the rim). Aroma of mixed berries and citrus (lemons and raspberries mostly), combined with yeast. Flavor is berry fruit (raspberries again), thicker smoother fruits as well, bananas, pears, yeast. Lively mouthfeel from solid carbonation.
