Jul 5, 2008 What does tripel mean? Three kinds of yeast, or three times the foam? The first so it must be the best, right? Golden ale, numerous small bits of suspended sediment. White foam head, lasts 5 minutes at least. Apple, yeasty aroma. Good rounded out flavor of middle of the road sugars, malt, hops, and yeast. The yeast doesn’t dominate in this one like in most Belgians. The palate is refreshing but a little bitter.

Jul 2, 2008 Bottle. GUSHER! Pours a cloudy light orange with a huge, thick, foamy white head that leaves nice lacing on a Westmalle glass. Aroma of spcies (particularly clove), lemon/citrus zest, and the typical tripel skunk. Tastes like...a tripel! Lots of Belgian yeast and spices, maybe some cinnamon. As the beer warms some light fruits (especially apple) come out, but you really have to search for it. Mostly the beer is dominated by spices. Pretty drinkable as the 9.5% isn’t noticed in the flavor or palate. Probably my favorite tripel, although this style is one of my least favorite.

Jul 2, 2008 Westmalle Tripel is a cloudy dim golden ale with many big particles and a huge lumpy, foamy white head that leaves nice lacing on the glass. It has a spicy barnyard aroma. It smells like a saison to me. There are hints of fruit and possibly licorice and hay. It is medium bodied, a bit foamy, very smooth and the finish is clean. The flavor is peppery and leathery. It is spicy like clove and coriander. There is a grassy aspect to the taste. The flavors are very well blended. It’s a solid Tripel, but I was expecting something to knock my socks off.

Jun 29, 2008 Not really impressed. Cloudy yellow with a moderate head. Aroma is citrus, spices, wheat malt. Taste has a bitterness that does not really compliment the malt. It is drinkable but I expected more.

Jun 28, 2008 Pretty good. Complex, extremely full bodied flavor. Very spicey with some yeast and citrus fruitiness. Nice bitterness all through the taste. Alcohol and hops show up slightly in the finish. Highly drinkable. Highly carbonated, large head.

Jun 28, 2008 11.2 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy orange/yellow, with a thick long lasting head. Citrusy with some slight spice notes....you can definitely taste the yeast with this one as well.

Jun 27, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a nasty hazy orange with floaties. Huge long lasting white head. Nose of spice, alcohol and yeast. Flavor is ridiculously bitter. Very unbalanced. Tons of alcohol in there thats not hidden at all. An overated beer if I ever saw one, and probably one of the worst tripels I’ve ever had, and I’ve had alot.
