Pour from the 25oz. bottle into a pint glass: More like a Heffe than a Tripel here- but I’m not complaining. Balanced tastes of banana, sweet malts, coriander, and fruity yeasts. For an 8% abv Tripel the alc-y stays hidden. A good buy. Drinkability: Yes. Rebuy: Sure. #120 on 13092009, DG.

TAP: hazy yellow pour, nearly no head. Grape and wheat on the nose, some malt on taste, smooth, boozy, no hop, not too sweet and tasted maybe flat? I kind of think I got a bad batch of this, because it didn’t strike me as overly great.

Bottle. Pours hazy golden orange with a big fluffy white head and lots of chunky sediment. Nose is quite spicy with yeast really standing out and a hint of mandarine in the background. Flavour is fairly grainy with cookie dough, orange peel and mixed spice coming through. Fairly light mouthfeel which becomes quite dry at the end. Another very nice beer from St. Bernardus.

Appearance: Yellow straw with brown tint, Long-lived, White head, vigorous carbonation. Aroma: Initially earthy (which fades some), pleasantly vegetal, floral, and spice (nutmeg?), sweet caramel malt and candy sugar gains in strength. Flavors: Caramel, candy sugar, long floral and toasty caramel finish. Comment: More complex than the Watou.

Light gold, yeast floating in bottle. Lots of head when poured. Very smooth beer. Not the sweetest or most bitter tripel I have had but rather somewhere in the middle. Very nice. Will definitely have one of these again.

Must have been the right beer at the right time. Complex fruity and flowery aromas from the start, with a strong bready yeast aroma. Flavors even more complex with minty bitterness on the finish. Great Tripel.

Very very foamy, spurted out of the bottle. Nice looking triple with some hints of nuts. Not too much alcohol and not too bitter. Nice Triple.
