Petrus Triple

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

i made a keg of this, one of my more memorable kegs. the real stuff? i must say that i was expecting more. frothy big head on top of a cloudy white golden cup of beer. a little spice and fruity, a pretty classic belgian triple. a pretty romantic beer.

Aroma is grainy, sharp and acidic. Light golden color with a massive, lasting three finger head. Flavor is very yeasty with a bannana mash sweetness that while good isn’t very tripel-y. Finish is smooth and hearty with just a tinge of sweet bread.

Beer pours a nice light yellow color with a large amount of foamy white head. Aroma is yeasty and doughy and also caramely. Flavor is sweet and smooth, not too caramely or citric, but rather a decent balance for a very smooth drink. Overall, not a great beer, but definitely a drinkable one.

This beer has a yellow body - hue apperance and a coarse white scum collar. I have drunk the beer from the bottle and it had a lot of carbonic acid. The initial flavor taste is spicy.

Bottle. Deep golden color with big soapy white head. Yeast and flower aroma. Taste of yeast, flower and honey. At the begening, the alcohol was very strong in the after taste but more this beer get warmer, more the flowery taste comes out and the alcool taste comes out. quite special. Bière de couleur paille opaque avec un énorme collet qui tend a diminué tranquillement et qui reste jusqu’à la fin. Odeur de levure et de fleurs (houblon floral ?). Au goût, c’est la levure, les fleurs et le miel. Au début, l’alcool était très fort en arrière-goût mais, plus la bière se réchauffe, plus le goût des fleurs et du miel ressort et plus le goût de l’alcool tend a disparaître. Assez spécial.

Not a bad beer, but not my favorite. Has a bit of a lemon flavor, nice head. If you like carbonated beer, you might want to give this a shot, as it is highly carbonated.

Aroma was of sour lemons. Flavor also was a medium sour lemon flavor but the bitter bite usually noticable with these for me was mild. Yellow body with decent white head. Good brew part of the 6 bottle gift pack the wife bought me for Christmas.
