Nov 16, 2009 Bottle 33cl. Beautiful hazy blonde in color. Pours a full lhead. Smells and tastes very lively: Yeasts and malts with light spices. A very refreshing beer. Westmalle just makes great beer on every level in my book.

Nov 15, 2009 Versata sul bicchiere a calice della westmalle, questa tripel d’abbazia ha tutta la sua eleganza. Schiuma fina ma molto persistente, un bel colore d’orato con sfumature sul rame, e un torbidezza che non lascia filtrare nessuna luce.. come si suol dire, anche l’occhio vuole la sua parte.
Un aroma non troppo forte, di banana; al gusto è dolce e fruttata. Si sente molto l’alcol e un sentore di acido sul finale.
Piacevole, senz’altro.

Nov 11, 2009 Bottle, 33cl. A blonde beer with a beautiful lacing, light unstable head that lasts, some bubbles. Malty, light hoppy and spicy aroma. Smell is also malty, some spices, with some hops on the background and a light bitter and dry finish. Heavy body. Very nice trappist beer!

Nov 9, 2009 Pale orange coloured, slightly hazy. Pours very lively with big airy head. Flowery yeasty aroma. Sugary, sweetish nose, funky mouthfeel, alcohol-peppery bitterish finish. Leaves a lingering candy sugar flavour in your mouth. Good.

Nov 8, 2009 bottle. Poured hazy, straw coloured with an extra large rocky white head. Active carbonation visable. Aroma is spicy clove and yeast. Alcohol hits you at first sip. Medium bodied, warming mouthfeel. Flavour is peppery, grapefruit peel, perfumey. Finishes lightly dry. I just can’t bring myself to like this style of beer and over rate them like so many beer drinkers do, but I did finish the bottle.

Nov 7, 2009 A great Trappist Tripel. Loved the dubbel too. Great balance of tart citrus, spicy clove, light candi sugar and malt sweetness, and some bready yeast.

Nov 7, 2009 75cl corked and wired bottle.
Pours a hazy pale golden yellow with sky-high, frothy white head with great retention and generous lacing. Beautiful beer!
Citrusy aroma with yeast and herbal spices on the nose.
Medium-bodied triple with heavy, but earthy mouth feel. Active carbonation.
Taste is dry indeed, with banana, yeast, herbal spices and a bitter alcoholic note dominating. Finish is dry, with a noticeable alcoholic after taste (at 9.5 %, this is hardly surprising).
A welcome departure from the many overly sweet Belgian tripels I’ve drunk (Grimbergen, Kasteel, etc), this one is for grown-ups only! ;=) I won’t drink a great number of these, but they’re characterful, individual and imaginative. Very good Belgian beer!
