Robust white burgundy palate aided by zesty lemony hop tingle, ripened cherry zest, juicy pineapple-apricot conflux and doughy malt creaminess. Mild clove-coriander-allspice seasoning stimulates charmingly sweet wheat wined finish.

WEYERBACHER PROPHESY
Abstruse oak-aged Belgian-styled tripel opens like a vinous Chardonnay, sprinkling green-skinned white-wined esters atop white-peppered bittering and tart apple sourness. Cotton-candied cherry-melon-banana flange picks up raw-honeyed whiskey-soured prominence. At finish, zesty lemon pucker, vanilla puree tease, and wispy bourbon nip fight for space.
(DE RANKE) GULDENBERG ABBEY TRIPEL
$10 for 1-pint 9-oz. bottle of fluffy ivory-headed alcohol-soaked blonde wrapped in white bag w/ blue stripes. Pour slowly thick resinous pale yellow fluid or explosive carbonation will overwhelm immediate lemon-peeled apple blast to sour grape finish. Peppery floral-hopped mandarin orange sidles vinous white grape tannins and red grapefruit rind subtlety. On tap at Growler & Gill, sweet honeyed malts and herbal citric spicing picked up pleasing cellar-like fungi yeast mossing.
ACHEL TRAPPIST TRIPLE
Interesting pale-bodied hybrid unintentionally closer to phenol German weissbier than moderate-bodied Belgian Trappist Ale. Floral yeast nose suits honeyed wheat sweetness. Candied orange-tangerine tang spruces up spicy clove backdrop. Beige sediment dots thick viscosity for impairing relaxant aimed at light-heavyweights and up.
DICK’S BELGIAN TRIPEL ALE
KONINGSHOEVEN TRIPEL TRAPPIST ALE
Turbid rust-hued Trappist triple bock features fulsome yeast character, tangy cherry-orange bluster, floral-dabbed herbal hop soothe, and brandy-sweetened warmth. Illusions of hazelnut, date, and cashew decorate wheat-grass perimeter, but faint buttery caramel finish lacks richness and depth its classification presumes.

DRAGONMEAD FINAL ABSOLUTION TRIPPEL ALE
LA RULLES BIERE DE GAMME TRIPLE
Unexpectedly smooth, thickly viscous, amber-yellowed ‘triple’ brings sour apple waft to peach-apricot-grapefruit juiciness as medicinal warmth builds. Creamy butterscotch remnant, honeyed coriander snip and mild floral nip give way to peppery hop-fizzed bittering. Its delicate nature is its slender reward.
SOUTHAMPTON TRIPLE ABBEY-STYLE ALE
Subtle Belgian-styled triple brings lemony orange blossom tang and vanilla-banana-bubblegum sweetness to candi-sugared yeast setting. Clove-coriander spicing and fennel-carrot adjunct sit below latent black-peppered menthol freshness subsuming broadened banana bread buttering. Just a tad unassuming.
