    Karm, Westmalle, shout out to St Bern and Val-Dieu. Nice poll

    One, Great frickin' Poll!

    Two, American brewed Tripel Avery and Sprecher

    Three, Belgian I voted St. Bernardus but Westmalle is right behind.

    Tripel Karmeliet for a Belgian Tripel, La Fin Du Monde for a non-Belgian Tripel

    Westmalle or Karmeliet...I can't decide so I'll abstain from the vote.

    Agreed. No contest. Not only the best Tripel, but one of the best beers ever.

    L'Herbe à Détourne by Dieu Du Ciel. I tend to dislike over-hopping outside IPAs, and am not a big fan of Bruges-style tripels, but their citra addition completely hits the mark.

    Long Strange Tripel is great as an easier-to-find, relatively affordable alternative to the classics -- especially if you prefer a four-pack to a bomber. All of the ones I've had from the poll are awesome, though.

    La Fin Du Monde.

    One that hasn't been mentioned that I quite like it Steenbrugge Tripel.

    La Fin Du Monde got my vote. Not only is it the beer that got me hooked into craft, it is widely available, very reasonably priced and tastes incredible.

    I want to give a shout to De Ranke Guldenberg, that is a phenomenal Belgian Tripel.

    Tripels might be my favorite style. Chimay White is my favorite, but LFdM is the best one I've ever had.

    I voted La Fin du Monde. Too much bubblegum for me in lots of Tripels.

    If unibroue had more distribution I'm pretty confident la fin du Monde would be #1

    ^This. Probably my new favorite beer. Too bad it's so damn hard to find.

    If it weren't for the price, it is difficult to not select Curiex. However, this voting is just too hard to select one, so I'll list (5!) that all classify in the 'Other' category and are beautiful interpretations of the style:
    White Monkey - Victory
    Xtra Gold - Captain Lawrence
    BFF - Grimm Artisanal Ales
    Exit 4 - Flying Fish
    Merry Monks - Weyerbacher

    I think it's a little odd to include Allagash Curieux, a bourbon-barrel-aged tripel, in a list of of non-barrel-aged tripels, but it's not my poll.

    I voted for Karmeliet

    Probably should have put regular Allagash Tripel, but oh well, I guess the barrel aging doesn't necessarily improve it.
