In honor of both its independence and its signature Tripel style, this Belgian-style ale is brewed with Belgian candi sugar and a combination of Ommegang, Duvel and Chouffe yeasts. A triple, Tripel if you will. The unsung hero of brewing, the yeast strain dramatically influences the flavor and aroma profile of a beer. Three yeasts join here together to forge one remarkable brew.

On-tap at Prime 16, served in its own commemorative tulip.
A: Cloudy medium orange body with a solid finger of creamy ecru head. Good retention, nice lace.
S: Wow. Peppery phenols are up front, with bubblegum and pear following close behind. Some freshly cut grass and raw peppercorns. Really, really amazing.
T: Yeasty throughout, with delicate clove up front, solid peppercorn midway through, tasty mildly sweet esters on the tail end, and a dry finish with light alcohol and nice minerality. Complex, balanced, and delicious.
M: Creamy medium body with a solid, but not overwhelming amount of effervescence. Lovely.
O: Possibly the best American Tripel I've ever had. Truly excellent.

Only thing lacking was a little more of the hoppy bite.
