    Westmalle, and Golden Monkey here. I enjoyed them, but honestly not a big Belgian beer fan.

    p.s I loved St. Bernardus Christmas Ale, and yes I know it's a Quad. :wink:

    Not including Westmalle on any list of tripels is like talking about the first super heroes without mentioning Superman. Am also surprised how de Dolle Dulle Teve has hardly a mention too. Its super also.

    I have to go with Westmalle as the true style representative,followed closely by Chimay and Tripel Karmeliet. But I just brought a bottle of Curieux back from Maine so I need to give it a shot.

    At last years Baltimore 72 hours of Belgium beer festival, they had a 55 gal barrel of the Dulle Teve on top of the bar, heavenly stuff, I rarely see bottles around the shops.

    Ya I figured La Fin Du Monde and Tripel Karmeliet would be quite popular in this "thread." Nonetheless, in addition to what has been already been mentioned I would also add to the list (if not already mentioned):

    La Rullés Triple
    Urthel Hibernus Quentum

    Westmalle Trappist Tripel: the original. Very often imitated, never quite duplicated. The benchmark for the style.

    I'll just reconfirm what's already been said i.e. Westmalle St Bernardus, Chimay, are great.
    Last night I had an Affligem Tripel which to my surprise was super tasty so there are lots to choose from.

    Any answer other than Westmalle is just wrong.
