Tap at New Belgium Meet the Brewer event at Gambrinus. Pours a deep gold with a pillowy foamy head that lingers. Cinnamon, nutmeg and clove on the nose. Light, flaming banana-like esters. Soft mouthfeel, with average carbonation. A little too much spice, but still an enjoyable tripel. Sweet on the palate with a touch of dry pepper on the finish.

Refrigerated brown bomber poured into a snifter. Clear golden with no lacing, medium body, low carbonation, and very little lacing. Taste is fruity malt and some alcohol.

New Belgium Tripel 7.8% A beautiful bright clear gold with a foamy white head. The aroma is vineous, plum, figs, a bit tart but a very nice example of the style. Medium to full mouthfeel with a dry finish. The taste is crackery pale malts and big luscious candied fruits, figs, plums, raisins and while it has some boozy heat it is quite well balanced. I like it, it’s a good example of a Belgian Style Trippel, but being in Japan we can get Belgian original versions for less. So if I was in the US I’d go for this in a heartbeat but being in Japan I think I’d get an belgian original instead. Really really nice though.

(Bottle) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, malty nose with dried apricots, bread, coriander, honey and floral hops. Fruity, spicy taste with notes of apricots, honey, white bread, coriander, lemon peel and a gentle floral bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Really tasty and well balanced, a good example of the style. Very nice.

Bought in a mixed 6-pack at Albertson in Vegas. Unfiltered with very tiny particles floating around. Light-golden colour with a white, frothy cap, good retention and fluffy thick lacing. Spicy aromas with Belgian Ale yeast, grassy hops, banana notes from wheat. The taste is pretty hoppy, so definitely an American Tripel. Some fruity malts, but mostly bitterness. Interesting hoppy Belgium Ale that is affordable.

12 ounce bottle into signature globe glass, best before 4/17/2016. New revised recipe @ 8.5%. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy deep golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big apricot, pear, apple, white grape, light banana, coriander, pepper, clove, light honey, biscuit, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, coriander, pale malt, and earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big apricot, pear, apple, white grape, light banana, coriander, pepper, clove, light honey, biscuit, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Good amount of yeast spiciness and earthy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of apricot, pear, apple, grape, light banana, coriander, pepper, clove, biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, coriander, pale malt, and earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Good amount of dryness from bitterness and yeast spice. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, and moderately sticky mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an excellent Tripel! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, coriander, pale malt, and earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

Flaska från SB, lagrat något år vilket mjukat upp smakerna. Smak och doft av humle, malt, ljus torkad frukt, vita russin, koriander med toner av honung och karamell. Lagom sötma, bra balans, fina aromer av koriander, rund och len. Mycket gott!

From December 18th 2006.
Poured from Growler a hazy medium gold witha largish head of foam that sharank fairly slowly leaving just a fine broken layer with plenty of lacing.
The smell is all nice and yeasty and fruity with undertones of sweet malt.
The taste is very fruity up front..dark fruit is hitting my taste buds very nicely. That's followed by a healthy yeast taste and a good clove and banana presence that builds on the complexity of this Trippel. It finishes fairly dry but I can still pull some malt sweetness out of it. Very good. I've been drinking the bottles for a long time and they never disappoint me but this fresh tap in a Growler really brings out the best in this brew. And all for under US$10 and that includes the Growler itself! Oh. and It would be remiss of me not to say that the 8.5%abv is hidden very well..just some warming once it's gone down.
Bottom line: A very tasty Trippel that is very good in bottles but is even better on draft. I highly recommend it.

12 ounce bottle. Brassy gold color. Smallish creamy beige head leaves a nice clinging lace. Biscuit malt aroma has a hint of yeast and coriander. Slight fruity hops in midtaste. Smooth and eminently drinkable for a tripel. Spicy hop bitterness in finish. Not quite in the league of the Belgian abbeys, though a decent interpretation.
