Petrus Triple

Brewed by Bavik-De Brabandere
Style: Abbey Tripel
Harelbeke, Belgium

Light clove in the nose, with some subtle banana and bubblegum. Flavor is crisp and clean. Slight green apple and honey in the finish with a lingering wheat, but a very creamy mouthfeel. The carbonation is a fantastic light small bubble that just explodes in the mouth. Nice beer.

Pours out just fine and leaves a small lacing. Smell is very malty and it has a very flowery nose. Taste is about like it smells, very refreshing and enjoyable. It has a very malty taste to it and leaves a good sour taste on the palate. Feels great on the palate and it’s aftertaste is good. I would definetly drink more of this later.

Bottle from the Belgian Belly in Chorlton. Nice big head, not too sweet. Nice drink. A quite drinkable tripel.

bottle labeled gouden tripel ale pours a somewhat hazy golden in color with a huge exploding head that slowly faded but remained a thick coating creamy tan in color. aroma is yeast, spice, floral, sweet malt, citrus peel, and wheat. mouth feel is medium light, somewhat thin, has a nice yeast spice quality, rolls over the tongue very silky. sips well, some acidic bite, citrus peel gives some twang, sweet malt carries it well, and finishes on the dry side with good spice. a brew that represents Belgian brewing very well has all the character a triple should have. hop notes became more apparent to me in the finish as it was consumed and warmed a bit. very clean brew and easy to drink for a 7.5%.

(33cl bottle, Petrus Gouden Tripel, courtesy of king Edo) Hazy, golden colour with a massive, slightly yellow foamy head. Moderately yeasty, sweet malty, slightly wheaty and fruity (orange, lemon) aroma with light glue-like phenols. Sweet and slightly acidic flavour, medium bodied with a lively, slightly fizzy carbonation. Yeasty and lemon-fruity taste with a light vinous feel; medium-dry, moderately sour-fruity finish with a tinge of hops

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a pale yellow with a big but fading head and a nose of citrus and yeast. Taste is fruity, citrus and orange, and spicey. Long spicey finish with some minimal bitterness too. Good tripel

11.2 oz bottle-pours a light golden color w/a moderate foamy white head which lasted forever. Fruity, sweet belgian aroma. Flavors of fruit, citrus, yeast, spice & orange peel. Not as sweet as it smells, a little dry actually. Maybe a slight grapelike feel. Long, dry, spicy finish. Good stuff.

750 ml brown Belgian bottle. Corked and caged. Loud pop released the cork. 2007 batch. Poured out a hazy orangish / light yellow color, with a huge off white head. Served in a Petrus Tripel flute. Aromas are of Clementine fruit, yeast, some Belgian funk, sweet malts, some sugars. Flavors are peppery, spicy, slightly sweet, somewhat funky. Decent body and mouthfeel. Alcohol is well hidden. Spicy, peppery finish to it. Damn good triple overall.
