Val-Dieu Triple

Brewed by Brasserie de l’Abbaye du Val-Dieu
Style: Abbey Tripel
Aubel, Belgium

0.75 l bottle. Hazy golden color with thick long lasting head. Clove, banana, cork and tart acidic notes in the aroma and flavor. Some oily and grainy notes also. Lots of yeast in the glass because the bottle was kept sideways.

Poured a slightly hazy dark gold color with a pretty big and foamy white head. Smelled of Belgian candy sugar, some sweet citrus and heavy syrupy malts. The taste was pretty sweet and syrupy, almost too much so, and the alcohol was quite prevalent throughout. There were some definite fruits noticeable, some apple and pear perhaps, but nothing more dominant than the sweet candy sugar and corn syrup. Not my favorite of tripels, but drinkable.

750mL bottle poured into a Karmeliet chalice. Appearance was orange in color and a creamy head looked promising, but fell apart and left spotty lacing. The smell was very interesting, involving various fruits in which apricot, apple, and pear were included. The taste was much of the same, but I also found some spices including vanilla and nutmeg. Body was medium to full, nice and creamy going down. I really enjoyed drinking this one down, and will probably be picking up another bottle in the future.

Pours a hazy orange with a small dimminishing head. Sweet with some fruity esters. Hint of spices too. Short dry finish.

11.2 ounce bottle purchased at ABC Liquors in Pembroke Pines, FL at $3.90 Very good
