Your Favorite Tripels

One of my all time favorite styles, can't get enough of them:

1) Het Anker - Gouden Carolous
2) De Ranke - Guldenberg
3) Moab - Desert Tripel (tie) New Holland - Black Tulip
4) St. Feuillen
5) Dominus Vobiscum

Big honrable mentions : Captain Lawrence Golden Delicious, De Dolle Mad Bitch, Ename, Brewer's Art Green Peppercorn, Chimay Cent Cinquante

 

Timely thread. I've just recently gotten into Belgians and had my first tripel just yesterday - La Fin Du Monde. So good and surprisingly refreshing for such a strong beer. I'm curious to see what everyone has to say.

 

Personally, I think Merry Monks is quite good. Might be the best year round beer Weyerbacher makes.

 

Westmalle. I'm not a big Trippel guy, but I loved Westmalle.

 

SSS

 

So far -


Chimay cinq cents
westmalle tripel
unibroue fin du monde

 

La Fin Du Monde, Chimay, Allagash, and my favorite thus far, Allagash Curieux.

 

Fluffy White Rabbits from Pretty Things is really good...

 

Tripel Karmeliet or Hair of the Dog Rose

 

in none particular order.

1. tripel karmeliet
2. gouden carolus
3. dulle teve

 

Allagash Yakuza was pretty cool.

 

Brooklyn Local 1, can't leave that out of the conversation. Other favorites would be St. Bernardus and La Fin du Monde, not very original I know...

 

Holy shit.. Where do I even start?
Allagash Curieux
Allagash Tripel Reserve
Chimay Speciale Cent Cinquante
RR Damnation Batch 23
La Fin Du Monde
St. Bernadus
Bruery Trades Winds

Tripels are the best beer, IMO.

 

In no specific order

Westmalle
Chimay
De Dolle
De Glazen Torren
De Ranke Guldenberg

Really like The Tide and It's Takers

 

Westmalle is really the perfect tripel for me. Karmeliet, Bernardus are great classic examples. Haven't had too many stellar American versions, but Allagash would definitely be up there. Tradewinds from the Bruery is quite nice with a real different feel while still retaining the familiar tripel style. Just tried De La Senne's Jambe de Bois yesterday and was quite impressed.

 

No particular order...

Tripel Karmeliet
Long Strange Tripel (Boulevard)
Chimay White
La Fin Du Monde

Still need to crack open a Tide and It's Takers that I have sitting in my cellar.

 

I haven't had many. Curieux is almost like "cheating" to have it on the list. Barrel aged goodness...

Mine goes:
La Fin du Monde
Westmalle
Chimay

I still need to try Karmeliet and St. Bernardus.

 

Allagash

 

Definitely Gulden Draak.

How has this not been mentioned yet? If you're into darker Belgian beers and you love Dubbels and Quadrupels but aren't big on the lighter Tripels, you should give Gulden Draak a go. Tasty stuff.
