Label: 

Free spirited Panty Peeler Tripel pours rambunctiously into your glass, releasing its engaging aroma. Curacao (bitter) orange peel and coriander create a beautiful yet bolder tripel by infusing color, citrus and spice. Belgian yeast adds playful character. Bottle conditioning assures a perfectly heady experience. Ride Free

Brewed as a Belgian tripel but with American boldness, Panty Peeler is delicious yet spirited. Originally named Extreme Polar White Bier, it got nicknamed “Panty Peeler” along the way. Then we translated it to French for a while: Épluche-Culotte. Now we’re back to calling it Panty Peeler and we’ve kicked up the coriander and orange peel to represent its original design. 

Interesting name….lol. Either way, the beer is what I would expect of a good tripel. a lot of the Tripels I have tried have a yeast driven complexity that follows rich and bold flavors from the unfermented concoction. Panty Peeler allows a free flow of semi-Belgian White Ale or a Heffeveizen like those served in many places. Shock top, Pyramid, Widmer, Blue Moon, etc. While Orange Peel an coriander emphasize the drive of this beer, the yeast rolls right in to remind you, hey, this is still a tripel. Flavors of Orange, Tangerine, Gummy bear, pineapple and peach sweetness (possibly from the Curacao) along with sweet caramel and biscuit bread. You can tell the Tripel flavors as you go along as there is also some spices, banana cloves, and candied sugar. It is quite tangy but is not super bitter. It is actually more balanced because while it is a sweet beer, the herbal and orange peel bitterness blends but keeps some of the sweetness at bay. Interesting tripel. Surely Belgian Tripel and Belgian White ale lovers may like.
