La Trappe Tripel

Brewed by De Koningshoeven (Bavaria - Netherlands)
Style: Abbey Tripel
Tilburg, Netherlands

Big yeast smell. Warm peach colour, with some floaties. Big head at first. Great first taste, that certain tongue tingle. Malt, bread, citrus. Nice mouthfeel, complex, finishes well. Terrific!

Great triple. Nice hop,malt and bittersweet flavor. Recomended

This one is way more like a dubbel than a tripel. Amber color with minimal whiteish head. Aroma is very dubbel-like as well with some fruity (apples and pears mostly) and a nice amount of spiciness. Sweet upfront with a little bitterness in the finish. A pretty decently balanced beer overall. Still not what I think of as a typical ’tripel’ though.

Slightly hazy light orange color. Typical huge foamy Belgian head. Flavor is soft and somewhat fruity. Yeasty banana bread is also present. Medium bodied. Slightly dry finish. Have to say this is pretty solid and one of the better tripel style beers.

Dark copper appearance with a medium size tan head. Sweet smelling, yeasty, fruity aroma. Taste was malty, spicy peppery and modestly sweet. Well carbonated, medium to full bodied mouthfeel leading to a long lasting, dry, fruity finish.

Bottled. Pure, golden clear body, with a rich large fluffy white head. Very good looking beer this. Lovely beer, that perhaps has been under rated thus to date. I really enjoyed this beer. It just lacked the finish a classy palate that would put it up with Duvel and others.

Dark for a tripel. Nice fruity flavor with apple leading the way. Little bit of a bitter hoppy finish but a very good abbey.

Bottle. Orangy/amber with huge foamy white head that lasts forever. Aroma is sweet malt and fruit. Taste is very sugary and malty and unlike most trippls. It’s a bit sweeter than I was hoping, but good none-the-less.
