New Belgium Trippel Ale

New Belgium Trippel AleImagine a world where you fall in love with a beer all over again. Isn’t it romantic? Isn’t it glorious? It’s like everything old is new again. And all that. And more!

Yeah, good times they are had when you roll with a Trippel – especially one as wicked awesome as this one. It reminds me why in the heck I enjoy beer in the first place. To the review!

New Belgium Trippel Ale Review

Taste

What you want out of a Trippel. Hoppy goodness, a little bitterness, maybe a tinge of fruit or spice – coriander, in this case. Not too gosh darn heavy, though. Crafty is this Trippel.

Profile

7.8% ABV. This means more than one and you had better pace yourself.

Value

We paid about $14 for a 12-pack of a number of New Belgium beers – we’ll review the other ones, too. A bit north of $1 per bottle, but yes, this is entirely worth it.

Metasip Grade: A-

Yeah, this would be a 90-point beer on many a scale. Not perfect, but well worth the cost. Score some, Trippel lovers. Ale lovers. Hey, beer lovers who want to broaden their horizons.
