Watou Tripel

Brewed by St. Bernard Brouwerij
Style: Abbey Tripel
Watou, Belgium

I was pumped to try this one when I saw it. Pours a hazy yellow with a ton of carbonation. Ive never seen such a fizzy beer in my life. Huge frothy white head. Pretty shitty taste in my opinion. A sour, puke taste. I can’t believe I wasted five bucks for a bottle of this crap. Belgium sucks.

Appearance: Light straw color, white head. Aroma: Sweet floral, candy sugar with ripe pear showing as it warms. Flavor: Sweet caramel and candy sugar from start to finish. A touch of spice and a toasted note on the finish. Comment: Bottle states best before 4/10. Not complex but very pleasant caramel and toasty malt flavors. A good "gateway" triple to introduce to newcomers?

chiara buona schiuma piuttosto persitente note leggermente fruttate buon erbaceo un tocco alcolico in bocca bilanciata inizialmente poi l’amaro e etilico escono un po di più

Pours a lacing, fizzy, white head with a hazy orange body. Aromas of bubblegum, candi sugar, zest, grass, and yeast. Flavor is about the same as the aroma. Fairly clean finish.

I bought this on sale today for $3.18 but I didn’t notice it was dated best by 01/06/07! Oh, well its Belgian and will probably still be interesting. I poured this extremely slow because there was a shitload of sediment. This beer looks really nice with a two inch white head and a murky dark orange body. The smell is sweet honey, The taste is a slight tinge of licorice twizzlers and fresh bread. Mouthfeel is smooth but dry at the end and the aftertaste really coats my mouth. This beer is decent but unlike the tripels I have had so far but that may be due to the age. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 10-04-2007 16:47:25

hazy golden pour, slight offwhite head. Aroma is light fruitiness, some breadiness, a bit of banana, orange peel, marmalade, honeydew. flavors of spice, apricot, yeast, orange peel, Finish is sweet then changes to a pleasant burnt flavor. Pleasant

Murky dark gold pour with a small white head. Aroma is quite fruity, with lots of peach and nectar, as well as a definite yeast character. Flavor of light fruit, whole wheat, yeast, and a bit of a burnt aftertaste. Palate is OK, but nothing special- straightforward mouthfeel. Good brew, but not outstanding.

(330 ml bottle (best before 6/21/10) from McKean and Charles) Pours hazy goldish amber with one finger of slightly lumpy soft-looking off-white head that is pretty well-retained. Aroma of caramel, pepper, light fruit and yeast. Mouthfeel is soft, medium-full and quite nice. Very well-defined and well-retained curtains of lacing. Flavor of caramel, light fruit, pepper and yeast. Nice light smokey quality as well. Some hints of alcohol presence. Pretty tasty but seems to fall slightly short. A nice base of flavor, it just could be a little denser. Still a pretty nice tripel.
