Petrus Triple

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

This is a light-bodied, golden drink with a tall, rocky white head that coats the glass as the drinks goes down. The aroma is flowery with hops over a grassy malt body and some yeasty fruitiness. Light and fruity in the mouth, the stronger ABV isn’t detectable until the dry, yet fruity, finish. Good good.

Mondial de la Bière de Montréal 2005. Épices, esters de fruits, acidité. Peut-être pas le bon échantillon, mais l’acidité l’emportait trop à mon goût pour ce style.

(Bottle 25 cl) Nice medium golden with a frothy head. Some yeast in the nose, but the hoppy, dry floral notes are predominant. Decent although not an outstanding Tripel. 100795

(Bottle) Pours a lightly cloudy yellow body with a rocky egg-white head. Aroma of grass, musty leaves, and spicies. Light malt flavor with lemon. Clean and refreshing; great summer brew!

Pours light golden with a thick, foamy, vigorous head. Appearance is every bit as good as the picture. Aroma is bubble gum, banana, spicy yeast. Taste is pretty much all yeast characteristics with some candi sugar bumping up the gravity. Fairly one dimensional. Yeast is the most important element of Belgians, and I don’t care for this one. Medium bodied and fizzy. Finishes lightly sweet with a spicy yeast tang. Overcarbonated for my tastes. This gives me burps like Miller Lite. I’d let it sit out for 10-15 minutes before drinking it. Most likely the cheapest Belgium triple in Atlanta. $1.89/bottle.

I have only tried this a couple of times over the years. It is in essence a decent but not noteworthy tripel. Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer pours a cloudy bright golden color with a huge white head. The aroma is sweet, yeasty, spicy and has strong lemon scent. The flavor is lemony and yeasty with a sharp spicy hop profile. The finish is fairly dry.

Bottle. Golden colour with a huge white head. Weak yeasty citrus aroma and taste, light dry. Medium body and a sweet finish.

Bottled. Hazy yellow with a stiff egg-white foam head that threatened to spill over the glass. Yeasty aroma. Flavors of rock candy, yeast, maybe pears. Lingering malt aftertaste.
