Bornem Triple

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

It had a pale yellow body with medium head, it had a very fruity nose, and the flavor had a strong citrus lemon taste.

Not very good at all for a belgian, but for as beer over all, above average.

11.2oz bottle out of a variety six pack. Cloudy gold, very heavy, overcarbonated white head (are all belgians overcarbed like that?), and to be honest I couldn’t tell much difference between the Ale, the Double, and the Triple. They all taste very similar. Not a bad beer, but certainly not an example of Belgium’s finest.

Pale golden with a thick white head. Fruity and flowery tones. Malt and peaches. Medium body with a long, dry finish.

From bottle : Nose of sweetness and fruity, some grapes and apples.. Color of a cloudy and carbonated gold, like a cider, with a huge white rocky head, that leaves nice lacing. Flavors begin with sweetness, green apples, a cider taste, ends with a alcohol taste. Thin-medium body, has a lingering flavor.

(33 cl bottle) Shady golden color, fluffy white head. Acidic, spicy, fluffy white head. Acidic, spicy, fruity and alcohol scent. Spicy spritzy alcohol taste. Smooth and full mouthfeel. Medium bitterness,

Bottiglia da 33cl comprata all’Auchan di Roncadelle, etichettata "Old Buccaneer Reserve"; colore oro chiaro con schiuma candida abbondante e persistente, aroma fortemente etilico e citrico, sapore maltato, contenuto alcolico molto aggressivo che si concentra nel finale e copre l’amaro del retrogusto (piuttosto labile, ma comunque abbastanza secco). Una proposta piuttosto convenzionale, che somiglia - più che ad una tripel - alla solita blond ale del bucaniere "toned down" di un paio di gradi. Quel paio di gradi che però la rende leggermente meno "mostruosa" e più piacevole in bocca; comunque abbastanza rozza e malfatta.________________ENGLISH TEXT HERE____________33cl bottle, bought at Auchan in Roncadelle (BS), labeled "Old Buccaneer Reserve"; color is clear gold with candid and big adherent head, aroma strongly alcohol and citrus, malty flavour with an aggressive alcohol content which concentrates in the final and covers the sourness of hops (this doesn’t prevent the finale to be very dry, as the style suggests). A rather conventional proposal, which resembles - more than to a tripel - to the infamous blond ale du boucanier toned down a pair of abv grades. That pair which makes it a bit less monstruous and a bit more enjoyable in the mouth; anyway quite raw and goofy.

Pours a golden cloudy color with some head. Smell is distinct with a acidic citrus edge. Taste starts off with a deep malty flavor and then moves on to a bit of alcohol. There is a lasting flavor that stays with you, but nothing that I feel is worth going back to.
