Our Trippel has always been a big, beautiful Belgian-style ale, but in 2015, we tweaked the recipe to include a new yeast variety and even more complex malt profile. This golden beer opens with a bold blast of spicy Noble hops, courtesy of Saaz and Hallertau Mittlefruh, and gives way to the fruity aromas offered by our traditional Belgian yeast. Brewed with Pilsner and Munich malts, Trippel is classically smooth and complex, and sings with a high-note of sweet citrus before a pleasantly dry finish delivers a warm, strong boozy bite. Give Trippel a sip to get you smiling.

Bottle from Total Wine. Slightly hazy and golden in colour, with a thin, white, head. Aroma of yeasty gains, spices, ripe banana and leafy hops. Flavour had more grainy malts, coriander, a touch of bubble gum, a hint of lemon and lingering, boozy, finish. Very good.

Draught @ Cooper's Craft & Kitchen. Clear golden with small frothy white head, faint earthy aroma, high carbonation, medium bitter earthy taste with faint alcohol undertones, thin body, long finish. The mouthfeel is a bit watery, but still nice.

Pretty good belgian-style tripel not sure if it's actually double fermented as a true Belgian would be. Very spicy aroma and typical tripel flavor profile. Nice drinking beer but nothing earthshaking.

Two 12 oz bottles at my daughter/son-in-laws place in California on 29th Dec 2017. Slight haze to the golden pour, I allowed the sediment to leave each bottle, otherwise the beer was clear until the last tip of the bottles, as I drained them. White crown on each pour. The nose was malty, spiced and yeasty. The taste similar with maltiness, spiciness and yeastiness, add some mixed fruits: Nice.

Bottle from Whole Foods, Wilmington, Cookeville. Golden with a thin head. Well styled Belgian ale with a clear strength to it. Its nose has a stated bubble-gum pale malt sweetness in its nose and taste.

New Belgium is one of my most appreciated breweries and I always like to review one of their beers. I have not had Trippel for a long time but now it is time. The 12 oz. dark brown bottle pours a light golden liquid giving a thin whitish head. The nose is spice. A taste delivers more of that spiciness, clove and coriander perhaps, fruitiness leaning towards mango and a bit of lemon. A slight bitterness lasts all the way through. No hint to me of the alcohol. Nice but not one of my favorites from the brewer.

Poured into a chalice, the appearance was a semi-hazy burnt yellow to orange color with a thick finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated somewhat evenly. Messy lace.
The aroma had some citrusy hops playing with some floral hops. And then some banana esters, iced apples, Belgian sugars and spices come in to blend nicely.
The flavor leans somewhat sweet with a nice effort of the Belgian spice to gracefully hit underneath. Sly sweet then subtle floral and spicy aftertaste with a quick dry semi-sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability almost sipping quality about it. Medium carbonation. Throaty Belgian-esque sort of burn but due to the spice and not ABV related.
Overall, mostly a pretty good tripel by an American brewer. I would have again.
