New Belgium's Trippel has been stocked in my fridge since I first had it about 6 months ago...it's possibly my favorite reasonably-priced beer. I give it a 8/10.
When I want to celebrate, or just want a change, I go for Boulevard's Smokestack Series - specifically, "Sixth Glass" and "Long Strange Tripel":

I'd give both of these 9/10.
EDIT: I forgot I just tried Ommegang Abbey Ale a few nights ago:
http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/ommegang-abbey-ale/3022/I liked it about the same as Long Strange Trippel, plus it's a little cheaper ($6 a bottle I think). Probably an 8.5/10.
