Bornem Triple

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

Hazy gold with "Starry Night" yeast swirls. Large, fizzy, white head settles rather quickly. A bit of a relief after the gaseous dubbel. Aroma of doughy yeast, light fruit, grainy malt and a certain sweetness. Same flavors with a dry, bitter, yeasty, hop heavy finish. Full body has too much carbonation. A little sparkling or tingly character would have accented the flavor nicely, but what it has is too much. Overall, a decent tripel.

Hop malt aroma. Murky yellow colour with good head and lacing. Malt hop flavour with citrus and flowers. Smooth palate.

Sub par tripel by my standars, but still a good beer. Aroma is strong yeast, with a bit of sugar. Flavor is bready, typical for a belgian, with alot of very sharp carbonation.

Poured a thick cloudy yellow with a huge head. Had a slight spicy nose to it. Quite carbonated to the taste.

75 cl bottle with a champagne cork that came off all by itself. After the initial sensation time to pour the golden, hazy beer with a fine white head. Complex aroma of sugar cane, alcohol, flowers, grass and some cellar notes. Sweet cane sugar and fruity flavours with some offsetting grassy bitterness. Fizzy, full-bodied. Too sweet to be a favourite, but it is still quite complex.

This came in a sampler Beglian pack my roomie received as a gift. Poured out of a 300ml bottle, this aroma was not too heavy. I don’t really have much to say on this, as it was basically mediocre all the way around, nothing fancy, nothing standoutish.

330 ml bottle. Pale yellow color. Good carbonation. Skunk aroma. For me, it was a regular lager taste. I was disapointed.

Light golden color with a foamy white head. Grassy chardonnay aroma and some sweetness in the flavor, very grassy. Tasted much like a chardonnay to me.
