Bornem Triple

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

Bottle: Hazy, yellow coloured with a touch of orangey, thin foamy layer; fruity nose (mainly pears and peaches) with traces of alcohol and yeast; intial sweet and fruity taste, mild sweetish flavour; pears, again, in the fruity and a bit tart finish; warming and tasty, quite well hidden alcohol and relatively light bodied for a brew of that strength.

Large white, lasting head. Orange colour. Perfumed arome with some yeast. Sweet alcoholic flavour with notes of citrus. Little hoppy finish. Avarage belgian trippel.

11.2 oz stocky brown bottle, poured into a trappist glass.
Hazy light yellow/pale golden, big fat rocky white head.
Lively carbonation. It’s been sitting in the glass for more than 10 min and there is stil tons of tiny champange like bubbles trailing upwards along the edges of the glass.
Apples and yeast in the aroma as well as a whisp of alcohol here and there.
Flavor is slightly sweet and fruity with a spicy peppery finish.
alcohol was hidden well in the begining but became more noticable as it warmed.

Bottled. Pours a hazy yellow color. Big white foam on top. Too big for my liking. Aroma consists of alot of yeast with a little bit of alcohol. A little bit of apple juice as well. Flavor is somewhat bitter and is yeasty. Quite a bit of spice. Some grains as well. Alcohol is well hidden considering the 9% alcohol. A little lacking in depth, but still it is not bad.

33 cl bottle. Yeast in bottom. Golden colour with a huge fizzy head. Sweet spicy aroma with notes of yeast and alcohol too. Sweet malty flavour with notes of spice, yeast alcohol and ends up little sour.

bottle from whole foods. lots of fruit in the aroma. clear gold with big white head. medium body, with a lingering sweet finish with a hint of hops. there are better tripels for sure, but this ain’t bad.

Strawberries, bananas, cherries and kiwi in the pleasantly fruity, yeasty nose. Hazy golden body is topped by a generous, fine bubbled, white head that lasts throughout. Yeast character is strong - cake dough and plenty of berry like fruits with some candy sugar, honey, leafy (parsley-like) hops and mild finishing bitterness. Sweet nutty flavour lingers pleasantly in the aftertaste. Medium body is quite dry with lively carbonation that engages the tongue and mild alcohol warming. How does this get rated so low? Tulip glass. Allowed to warm from fridge temperature. Bottle (BB 04/02/06, Bieropholie, Apr-05).

Orangey, dark yellow with a big, white fizz that drops to a thin cover. Clots of yeast (I decided to pour in the yeast). Lemonade aroma with a touch of horseblanket and sweet candy mixed with straight up malt aroma--excellent. Notes of celery. Flavour: Considerable amount of alcohol and higher alcohols along with a candy oxidized character. Nice fruity accents: pineapple, peach, grape. Very low bittering and a bit woody. High carbonation, light body, sweet finish.
