THE BRUERY TRADE WINDS TRIPEL
Elegant beige-headed bronze-hazed bottle-conditioned Belgian-styled tripel drifts in and out of stylistic deluges with mostly positive results. Thai basil and rice provide lightly spiced Southeast Asian appeal to creamy full body. Polite white-peppered orange peel bittering counters sharp prune-fig souring, chewy banana liqueur illusion, and fleeting clove-coriander-allspice wisp at busy midst. Tertiary honeysuckle, peppercorn, and lemongrass influence intertwines tangy tangerine-peach-pear sweetness. Slight alcohol-burnt finish allows cinnamon cider, burgundy, and white wine illusions to seep in softly.
DEFIANT BELGIAN-STYLE TRIPEL ALE
Well-defined chartreuse-hazed witbier not far removed from Ommegang’s impressive Abbey ales matches herbaceous farmhouse nature to yellow-fruited souring, dark-spiced sweetness, and earthen mineral graining. Sour lemony banana blitz receives candi-sugared apricot glaze and clove-spearmint-green tea tingle reinforced by mild white-peppered hop bittering.

FLYING FISH EXIT 4 AMERICAN TRIPPEL – CHERRY HILL
Wavering Belgian-styled amber-hazed tripel remains indecisive, yet strong, to herbal gin-soaked currant-like finish. Initial vanilla-extracted banana liqueur tease and meager red-fruited nosing abruptly tail off as acidic white-peppered caraway-seeded clove-coriander-spicing tingles scruffy apple tartness and green banana triviality pungently disrupted by musty wild yeast fungi and nasty alcohol-burnt harshness.
ISSAQUAH MENAGE A FROG BELGIAN-STYLE TRIPEL ALE
Appealing sunny-hazed tripel in green 26-ounce wine bottle maintains lightly embittered white ale fruitiness. Prominent citric hop zest brings pink lemonade, red grapefruit, and pineapple tang to candi-sugared vanilla wafer midst. Cork-scented Muscat grape, Granny Smith apple, and brown pear nuances recline towards buttered Chardonnay finish.
(STEENBERGE) BORNEM TRIPEL ALE
Subtly expressive blanched golden Abbey ale segues crisp pineapple-pear-mango tang into mild bubblegum-sugared banana-clove midst. Reservedly bitter floral-hopped honey-glazed lemony orange finish enhances coriander-cinnamon-spiced rosebud-sunflower illusions. Solvent 9% alcohol piquancy may appease stronger ale heads but it’ll burn lighter thirsts.

GREEN FLASH THIRD ANNIVERSARY ALE
CAPTAIN LAWRENCE XTRA GOLD AMERICAN STYLE TRIPPEL ALE
Dank mildewed yeast reminiscent of cave-aged Belgian ale styling soaks through mandarin orange, Peach Melba, candied pineapple, and melon illusions of hazy golden liquid, settling to floral-hopped pink grapefruit finish. Needs fizzier carbonation. On second passage one year forward, bottle aging provided better floral bouquet, sourer lemon seed tartness, and sweeter grapefruit tang.
GREEN FLASH TRIPPEL BELGIAN STYLE ALE
Dapper gold-hazed tripel counters dry Saaz hop bittering with basking candi-sugared peach, melon and curacao orange luster. Sweet banana-clove-coriander flurry sours to delicately vinous grape finish. Lively floral-spiced herbs caress thin breaded yeast bed.
MAREDSOUS TRIPLE ALE (10 DEGREES)
Opulent candi-sugared fig entry receives caramel-creamed vanilla resonance, peppery banana-clove recession and orange-soured pineapple tang. Molded bread lurk, wet grass murk and cork-y acridity pick up dried peach-apricot fruiting at musky midst, turning a tad phenolic by citric-tart Chardonnay finish. A re-fermented, alcohol-fueled, ultra-smooth medium body.
UNIBROUE LA FIN DU MONDE ALE
Flamboyant triple fermentation creates cloudy yeast-thickened cluster for venerable Belgian-styled white ale. Orange-peeled clove-coriander spicing invigorates beguiling barleywine subtlety snuggling hazy floral-hopped fungi-molded perfumed yeast. Soft and billowy for light-hearted drinkers, but manly, yes.
