Bornem Triple

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

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma has some vanilla yeastyness but not much else. Flavor is a little creamy with some pepper and ass kicking alcohol finish. This does not hide the alcohol at all. It got a little better as it warmed with some fruitness coming through but this is no where near a good triple.

Clear blond coloured beer with large diminishing white hea and lots of carbonation visible. Full hopped and alcoholic aroma. Full sparkling palate slightly creamy. Finish is bitter more bitter bitterst with a bit too much alcohol taste.

Deep yellow. Fast, soapy head. Aroma: Yeast, lemon. Flavor: Pepper, spices, alcahol, yeast, lemon. Alcahol finish. This one doesn’t try to hide the alcahol. Over-rated!

Pale, cloudy, citrus notes in the nose. Not so much in the flavour... more like the rind than the fruit. Not going to make a new favourite belgian but a solid drink nonetheless.

This seems to be a bit underrated here--I think it’s a solid triple. A bit of citrus and a good dose of carmel malts. Floral hop finish. Quite tasty in my book.

I found this beer unremarkable. I found the aroma very faint of fruit an a sliight almost wheaty smell. Palate was decent just nothing in the flavour profile really grabbed me. Was paired with leffe tripel and westmalle tripel.. Westmalle had the "fruitiness" and great aroma, leffe I found milder and seemed to almost have characteristics of a wheat beer , this one was in between and for some reason my least favourite of the 3 albeit still a decent enough brew

Appearance: Pours a clear, yellow body with a foamy, bright white head. Smell: Sweetish, fruity scents with a light waft of fusel alcohol tempered by a nice overall floral bouquet to the nose. Taste: Sweet malts with tastes of honey and table sugar. Solid amount of fruitiness halfway, with tastes of yellow apples, pears peelings, and, to a lesser degree, bananas. Lightly floral hop character and bitterness. Peppery, spicy alcohol character last in the taste. Sweetish, crisp finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium-high carbonation. Drinkability: A decent tripel, but just as the Bornem Duddel came up a tad short, so to does their tripel. Paired well musically with the song "Cut Self Not" by Faraquet.

It pours a clear dark gold with a thin white head. its aroma are sweet citrus malts. Its flavors are strong bitter malts and very little sweet. A good beer but nothing special.
