Bornem Triple

Brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge
Style: Abbey Tripel
Ertvelde, Belgium

Courtesy of Fonefan. Golden with a huge, white head, a bit big-bubbly though. The aroma has sweetness and notes of spice and malt. The flavour has sweetness, notes of spices, yeast, citrus and malt and it ends on a sweet and dry note.

Decent brew. Poured a clear yellow with white head. Aroma of banana, bread and yeast. Sweet taste of fruits and banana. Smooth finish, very drinkable.

Pours a fairly clear straw gold color, with a small white head. Wasnt digging the nose much at all. Funked out fruits that were out inthe sun too long, with musty malts, and caramel all seemed to mesh together, which didnt really work. The flavor wasnt much better, really musty in its taste. The fruits were drowned out by the malts which gave it almost a rotted flavor. The aftertaste might have been one of the worst Ive had in a while. Almost like spoiled eggs. One of the worst tripels Ive had. Poo poo.

Large white head, good retention and a bit of stringy lace. Hazy blond with a light gold hue, Witish in appearence. Nose is lightly spicey, faint citrus and light doughy notes. Body is lightly medium, full carbonation and lightly oily. Soft fruit flavors, herbally, citrusy with no real peppery notes to speak of. Some light malt notes, light breadyness, and yeast. Lightly sweet malty, spicey finish. Not a bad Tripel at all. Easily drinkable even at 9% ABV. Bottle received in a trade from degarth a loooooong time ago. Thanks Joe, hope all is well.

Presentation: Poured from a 330ml/11.2oz bottle in to a tulip glass. It has a hazy light golden yellow color with an excellent, huge white head. Its head is thick and frothy with stiff rocky peaks that last forever. The aroma is fruity and sweet with a nutty malt character and strong funky yeast. There is even a hint of coconut as well. The flavor starts off dry, with earthy yeast that turns malty, sweet and fruity. There is a slight hazelnut flavor along with tropical fruit notes and even a light coconut flavor as well. Hops add a light bitterness and herbal flavor to the finish. Its alcohol adds a pleasant warmth and sophistication to this smooth textured, medium bodied ale. This is a very good triple that has a standout flavor that I really enjoyed.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with a big foamy thick head. Aroma is citrus fruit, and some pine, some yeasty pepper spice and a warming etoh.

V - smallish white bubbly head with no lacing. pale yellow color head to natural light, orangey to indoor light. A - yeast and citrus on the nose. lemony, with traces of pine and vinegar. T - wheat comes full out at first and then fades just as fast into a watery IPA-like finish. P - flat with no lingering taste.

Mild, fruit and yeast aroma.No head or carbonation..hmm...mild taste. Watery with no body. Mine has no head, even in the puor. I tried to get one started. Trappist glass.This differs from the other ratings. Kinda bland.
