Silken bottle-conditioned Italian tripel (described as Belgian strong pale ale) grafts fuzzy champagne-like green grape tartness to gentle vanilla slipstream and fresh-baked Italian bread crust. Light pinot grigios, chardonnay and green apple illusions add vinous niche to dry earthen backdrop.

KUKA TRIPEL
PORT JEFF TRIPPEL H TRIPEL
Draught-only Belgian tripel brings Fuggle-hopped dryness to sugary pilsner malting, mingling orange oiled musk and peppery lemon rot bittering with contrasting banana-clove sweetness. Heightened 10% alcohol splurge provides buttered rum waver. Authentic Trappist yeast funk inspired by Westmalle Tripel and Victory Golden Monkey works well for herbal-fruited overlay.
NESHAMINY CREEK TRIBUTE TRIPEL
BREWER’S ART GREEN PEPPERCORN TRIPEL
Harmoniously balanced clear-yellowed blond ale brings olfactory Belgian yeast mustiness to enormously diversified fruit-flavored profile, retaining a feathery moderate-bodied mouthfeel despite heightened 9.2% alcohol volume. Toned-down peppercorn-spiced green tea bittering creates gingered raw-honey Ricola coughdrop-like astringency, countering sugary apricot-pear-honeydew-melon-pineapple-banana tropicalia, lemon-juiced sloe gin fizz salting and crystal-malted butterscotch sweetness. Mild lemon custard, vanilla, pecan, Courvoisier and rum illusions add further resonance.
OMMEGANG BELGIAN INDEPENDENCE DAY TRIPEL
Efficiently combining Ommegang, Duvel and Chouffe yeast, Belgian candi-sugared tripel brings elegant warmth to creamy cookie dough-spiced caramel malting. Buttered whiskey midst girds soft white-peppered orange-tangerine fruiting. Musty fungi-like herbal musk slinks below.
ALLAGASH YAKUZA TRIPEL
On tap at Coalhouse Pizza, busy Belgian-styled tripel lets it all hang out. Sweet Belgian candi sugaring contrasts alcohol-burnt Cascade and Sorachi Ace hop bittering to honeyed wheat base. Vanilla wafer scurry picks up banana liqueur, Chardonnay, Courvoisier, and Cognac boozing as well as ripened white pear, bruised orange, yellow apple, red peach and nectarine fruiting. Lemony honeysuckle, peppercorn, clove and coriander nuances fill out musky tropical finish.
(STEENBERGE) WITCHES BREW GOLDEN ALE
Entertaining bottle conditioned amber-hazed blonde tripel (with well-hidden 9.3% alcohol volume) brings candi-sugared sweetness and butterscotch fruiting to honeyed barley-oats spine. Pastry-like filo doughing usurps unripe banana tartness and orange-soured marmalade splurge at mid-palate. Tropical nectarine, melon, honeydew, peach, mango, pineapple and papaya illusions linger below.

RUCKUS EUPHORIA BELGIAN-STYLE TRIPEL
AVERY NINETEEN BELGIAN-STYLE TRIPEL
Meritorious yellow-hazed Belgian tripel brings candi-sugared sweetness and citron-like alcohol burn to white-peppered herbal nip. Lemony grapefruit, peach, pear, apple and pineapple illusions override slight coriander-clove spicing to butterscotch malted bottom. Tertiary banana daiquiri nuance infiltrates phenolic boozing at fruitful finish of celebratory 19th anniversary vintage.
ANCHORAGE THE TIDE & ITS TAKERS
Resolute Belgian-styled tripel aged in French oak Chardonnay barrels goes on a fantastic journey. Orange-dried lemon rind tartness penetrates white-peppered basil-thyme-lemongrass herbage and sweet honeyed malting for enduringly sharp white-wined promenade. Dark floral potpourri drifts into herbal fruiting as illuminating flavor profile and modest brettanomyces souring proliferate. Candied apple, lemon custard, green grape, white apricot, pineapple, banana and coconut add breadth to alluring Chardonnay finish.
