Bornem Triple

Brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge
Style: Abbey Tripel
Ertvelde, Belgium

Wonderful flowery-apple aroma out of this one, but you have to let it sit for a while for the violent carbon dioxide and thick creamy head to subside. Some shall say the apple flavor/scent is undesirable.. but I think the amount here makes it work very well. Gets better as you drink it, but after all it’s 9 percent! ;) Recommended, if you can find it.

Nice golden colour. Pure white foamy head. A good beer, but a bit too much carbonation for me. Spice flavor. Hint of hops.

(bottle) Slightly hazy yellow colour with a frothy white medium head. Strong pear fruity and yeasty aroma. Bitterfruity flavour, medium body, lively carbonation. Sweet malty and fruity taste with yeasts, dry and fruity, a bit vinous (Sherry), light bitter, slightly spicy finish with obvious hints of alcohol. Definitely not uninteresting but a bit strange Triple.

Citrus dominates the tongue to start, then a dryness reminds one of champagne, foamy head lingers long after the first sip, truly golden color, nice play between malt and hops, I couldn’t believe the alcohol content after the taste, but it does feel warm in the belly

Bottle: Hazy, yellow coloured with a touch of orangey, thin foamy layer; fruity nose (mainly pears and peaches) with traces of alcohol and yeast; intial sweet and fruity taste, mild sweetish flavour; pears, again, in the fruity and a bit tart finish; warming and tasty, quite well hidden alcohol and relatively light bodied for a brew of that strength.

Large white, lasting head. Orange colour. Perfumed arome with some yeast. Sweet alcoholic flavour with notes of citrus. Little hoppy finish. Avarage belgian trippel.

11.2 oz stocky brown bottle, poured into a trappist glass.
Hazy light yellow/pale golden, big fat rocky white head.
Lively carbonation. It’s been sitting in the glass for more than 10 min and there is stil tons of tiny champange like bubbles trailing upwards along the edges of the glass.
Apples and yeast in the aroma as well as a whisp of alcohol here and there.
Flavor is slightly sweet and fruity with a spicy peppery finish.
alcohol was hidden well in the begining but became more noticable as it warmed.

Bottled. Pours a hazy yellow color. Big white foam on top. Too big for my liking. Aroma consists of alot of yeast with a little bit of alcohol. A little bit of apple juice as well. Flavor is somewhat bitter and is yeasty. Quite a bit of spice. Some grains as well. Alcohol is well hidden considering the 9% alcohol. A little lacking in depth, but still it is not bad.
