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.

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.

(DE PROEF) SLAAPMUTSKE TRIPLE NIGHTCAP ALE
Loads of sugary yeast sediment sinks into viscous amber setting of intoxicating nickel-hued full body. Initial coriander-spiced apple sequence settles to honeyed almond-butterscotch midst before peppery hops awaken tart lemon rind wisp descending upon mildewed cellar-like finish. Musty floral herbs conceal banana, golden raisin, and green grape nuances.

RIVER HORSE TRIPEL HORSE
Abstruse puffy-headed gold-hazed Belgian-styled medium body belies sweet-tart summer ale fruiting with wintry pine hop peppering. Initial dry white grape souring supplements banana breaded lemon pie illusions. Ensued candi-sugared vanilla midst preps tropical pineapple-papaya-peach latency and gaunt apricot-orange misting. On tap, white-peppered citric fruiting secured top spot above funky Belgian candied yeast and creamy caramelized crystal malting.
