Westmalle Tripel

Brewed by Brouwerij der Trappisten van Westmalle
Style: Abbey Tripel
Malle, Belgium

Bottle at Pub Italia in Ottawa. Pours an orangey-yellow with a nice foamy head. Smell is a wash of citrus. Deep orange-citrus taste, with a hint of spice, reminds you of a prototypical witbier, but has a definite ale-like character. Finish is quick and maybe a little too thin, though the head adds dimension. Hoegaarden on ‘roids.

330ml bottle from the LCBO as part of a gift pack with glass The aroma is spicy orange and yeasty Pours a pale amber orange with a big white head Very High carbonation a little spicy orange flavour strong alcohol taste Not as good as some other triples I have had was expecting a little more

thick creamy white head, golden colour. Aroma is spicy, orange? Flavour is spicy with distinct notes of orange and yeast, surprisingly light considering the ABV.

330 ml bottle - thanks to matt7215 for the trade; hazy burnt orange with slowly fading white head; very similar to the chimay obviously; aromas of fresh yeast, lemons, spice; slight tart and lemons; more enjoyable than the chimay; sweetness in the finish; candy and orange peels; soft texture; very nice

I had this right after drinking the Westmalle Dubbel and I thought that this one wasn’t as good. Don’t remember much about it other than I drank it out of a trappist glass.

Bottle 33cl. Pours a muddy golden colour with a great size head and good carbonation. Have the original glass and it’s beautiful! Smell is sour and spicy, also some hops there. Taste is a great balance of yeast, hops, fruits and spices. A very good abbey tripel and almost as good as the dubbel.

Aroma is bread and spicy yeast. Pours with a large rocky white head, hazy gold color. Taste is lemon, cloves, grass, yeast, and a nice hoppiness. Alcohol is noticable, but not overwhelming. Light to medium body. Nice lacing. Drinkable and good, but not worth the price.

330 mL bottle. Pours a hazy bright yellow like a witbier or good tripel. Giant, white head that stays around. Yeast particulates throughout even though I withheld pouring in the yeast sediment. Very low carbonation. Aroma is slightly grassy but with lots of yeast, coriander, orange peel, bananas, and alcohol (9.5%). Sort of like a double witbier. Taste is similar with an addition of cloves and a dry finish of spicy hops, yeast, and warming alcohol. A good tripel- similar to Chimay.
