La Trappe Tripel

Orange with a fine head. Fruity aroma with strong notes of yeast. The flavour is dominated by spice, apple, citric fruits, alcohol, sugar and yeast.

Bottle - 330ml. Hazy amber body with average carbonation and a thin off-white foamy head. Very enjoyable malty/hoppy aroma with various fruity hints. Its hoppy taste is well balanced and carries sweet, plummy, and oaky notes. It ends with a long and warming bittersweet finish. Good Tripel.

Nice, not as dry but more caramel and older apple. Pours a ruddy orange with a medium to small head. Much more yeasty and flat on the tongue than the dubbel and blonde. Tart but not sharp, more mellow and defined. Generally pleasant, good drinking tripel, but not a honed in taste as others I’ve tried. (Bottle Pour 4/2/2008)

the dryest tripel ive ever had, quite phenolic as well. . extremely fruity as well and hides the booze painstakingly. sweet but without overdoing it. nice and carbonated, which like the dryness is another saison quality.

Pours an orange/brown with a slight tan head. Nose is like red wine with notes of apple. Taste is of apple with notes of toffee and malt. Malty, wet, fruity finish with a very slight bitterness. A nice example of a Tripel.

Bottle. Fruity smell (cherry, red wine?), average malty. Medium sized white creamy head, fast diminishing. Red sparkling body. Moderate sweet start, light bitter finish, average duration. Medium body, dry and creamy texture, lively carbonation. Finally light astringent finish. Nice one, not one the best Trappist beers but a good one!

Pours dark orange, very fizzy with very little head. Fizz went quickly leaving it smooth to drink. Caramel malt nose. Tastes initially sweet then follows up with a nice bitter finish. Nice, but not the best trappist tripel.

Wow. This was a great beer. i wish had been my first, niot my 3rd beer at Strange Brew bar. Muddy orangey brown sewage color with hardly any head. Sweet taste. Tastes belgian. Slightly loweer rating because it is super expensive.
