La Trappe Tripel

BB 2/95... Poured a hazy brownish orange color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of vanilla, honey, orange citrus, and light yeast. Taste of vanilla and caramel malt, yeast, citrus, and a touch of alcohol. Mouthfeel was nearly flat.

04 Bottle. Kinda a medium to dark amber pour, which seemed a little dark for a standard tripel. Lots of Belgian yeast and herby corriander in the aroma. This followed by a spicy malty flavor, both spicy from the yeast as well as grassy earthy spice. Alcohol pepper was present, but not upfront.

Coppery and hazy in color with a small white head. Smells of hay, citrus, coriander, crabapples, and macintosh apples. Taste is bitter sweet with cherries, and citrus being most prevelant. Very smooth finish.

Great beer both in appearance and flavor. Pours nice and dark, drinks light and fruity with subtle yeast undertones. Don’t let the alcohol creep up on you, as it is very well hidden.

A very nice beer, with a taste of fruit (nuts), round i the taste, and a soft feeling in the mouth while drinking it.

Tap@Ølbaren. Blank copper with a fair beige head. Sweet aroma with notes of banana and hints of candy and alcohol. Soft sweet taste with a dry sweet aftertaste.

Bottled. Cloudy orange colour with an off-white head. Sweet flavour dominated by citrus and spices. Sweet flavour of fruits, citrus and spices with yeasty notes. Not much bitterness. Nice triple.

Pours hazy dark straw with big fizzy white head. Aroma of Brett, fruit, Swiss cheese, hopcit, lively yeast esters, sweaty female body parts including feet and taint. Tastes hopcity, with a firm, dense, Bretty mouthfeel. The finish is citrusy and spicy, with more fruit and hops. Great complexity. I’d drink this any day of the week and twice on Sunday (and 15 times on Saturday).
