Rich pale malt flavors provide a solid base for zesty Styrian Golding and Czech Saaz hopping. Trappist ale yeast contributes the fruity, spicy profile of classic, monk-brewed, Belgian ales. Our Trippel is luscious, fiery, golden brew and a contemporary rendition of traditional Belgian Trippel.

Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to chalice.
Appearance: dark copper color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace; also observable chunks floating around
Aroma: peachy flesh sweetness, red delicious apples, sugars, earthiness, clove and a light Belgian ale yeast
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a sweet to semi-spicy character; finishes bready, peachy and apple-y
Texture: medium bodied, leaning into being a sipper; light smoothness but also some spicy grip on the tongue
Overall: this one needs some work. Maybe a recipe change might encourage me to revisit this one.

Nice citrus aroma mixed in with some nice yeasty notes, with a good dose of hops. FLavor is much the same, big notes of belgian yeast, citrus, and some american hops. Interesting take on the style, but not my favorite.

Bottle. Golden color. Grass, vanilla and melon in the aroma. Hints of peach. Alcoholic but fairly well hopped flavor. Grassy, with vanilla and some citrus notes. Hints of white pepper in the aftertaste.

(Bottle) Golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of orange peel, marzipan, mandarin, honey, spicy hops and a whiff of alcohol. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, marzipan, orange, mandarin, dried apricots, tropical fruit, honey and a balanced spicy bitterness in a finish with a slight alcohol glow. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well made tripel. Nice one.

Bomber. Picked up at Beermoth, Manchester, about two years ago. Gold, with a little haze. Some baby floaters. Ring and film of white head. Nose has barley sugar sweets. Dried peach and nectarine. Not unlike a peach crumble, really. Hints of biscuit malts, and light, autumnal spice. Taste is sweet, fruity and phenolic. Some spice. Some light bitterness. Full mouthfeel, but not to the tune of 9.7%. Sweet, spicy finish. Hint of fruity bitterness. Nicely refined tripel.

66cl Bottle from De Bierkoning. Aged specimen. Hazy golden orange colour, creamy white head. Aroma of sweet malts, cookie dough, warm apple sauce, spicy yeast, some citrus, alcohol. Flavour is medium sweet, malty, apple sauce, yeast, light spicy, citrus, alcohol, fruity, bitter finish. Full bodied. Classic tripel imho, well done. Not overly sweet like so many American attempts to classic Belgian styles.

Flska från SB ca 1,5 år gammal. Skummar rejält ur flaskan. När kolsyran väl lagt sig känns den nästan lite platt. Bärnstensfärgad och klar förutom lite bottensats. Inte riktigt en stiltypisk trippel men iaf i samma härad. Inte så humlad men kanske lite mer åt en stark blond. Tydliga belgodrag med kryddig jäst, fruktestrar, honung, torkad frukt. Farlig lättdrucken och väl dold alkohol, bra balans, riktigt gott.
