Aug 28, 2005 Light orange color with a full Belgian head. Diverse fruit platter aroma, with hints of nectarine and peach, honey, Belgian yeast and lightly floral hops. Well orchestrated malt and yeast character, producing a range of absolutely sensational fruit flavors. Banana, peach, nectarine...you name it, all balanced by delicious caramel and toffee malt profile, somewhat funky, yet clean yeast and lightly floral hops. I just love Belgian beers. Its amazing that something like this can be produced using only water, malt, hops and yeast. Cheers to beer.

Aug 17, 2005 Rather disappointing - not a bad beer by any means, but not outstanding either. Rather too much alcohol and too little flavour.

Aug 16, 2005 Bottle. Dark golden and cloudy with a nice head,. A sweet tripel, creamy and easy drinking. Nice.

Aug 13, 2005 Spicy and candy sugar sweet aroma. Cloudy gold color with a thick fluffy white head. Lot of gas released. Very spicy up front then it goes through a malty middle and ends with notes of fruit and candy sugar and finally a mild bitterness. Nicely done beer.

Aug 10, 2005 Interesting look in the bottle, typical of "live" beers. Lots of yeast in the bottom! The color is a pale yellowish orange, with a big foamy head which lingered pretty well. The smell is somewhat fruity, with just hint of sourness mixed in. The taste is spicier than I expected, a bit tingly on the tongue. The taste is a mixture of the good and bad: nice cherries, maybe vanilla thrown in...but there is that sourness, the ever-so-slight skunkiness. It’s an interesting mix, and I liked it, yet I didn’t. I don’t think this is a tripel, to be honest, but what do I know? The taste is above average, it’s nice and warming too! If you like Belgians, try this one!

Aug 8, 2005 Strong fruity aroma with some spices. Caramel, spices and nice bitterness in taste. Fruity finish, a bit disgusting and a beautiful color.

Aug 5, 2005 I like this ale, but I’d wager that, had St. Bernardus (the brewery, not the saint) not labelled this as a tripel, it probably would have been listed as a "Belgian Ale." (I enjoy meaningless bets like that. They did call it a tripel, and there’s no way to go back and see how we’d all react if they hadn’t.) It’s a light, fruity golden colored ale with a frothy white head. The flavor is yeasty with cherries and other light fruits. Alcohol does make a brief appearance in a warm, fruity finish. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=1 dm9831’s Larder<font size=-1>
