Bornem Triple

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

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip

Slight haze and straw coloured with a massive frothy head. Light spice with some floral hop presence. Flavour is yeasty with noticeable alcohol before finishing dry. Quite bubbly and nice on the palate but I just wasn’t digging the flavour too much.

Dark yellow colored, little white head. Fruits, spices, some sweet berries, mild alcohol and licorice in aroma. Medium to full bodied. Also fine licorice with spices and alcohol in flavor, aftertaste dries with hops and some alcohol. Aftertaste has even too much alcohol.

an ok tripel. a slightly hazy golden with a medium white head. carbonation is medium. Aroma is banana esters, some spicyness, and other light colored fruit. Taste is light amount of banana, with some apples, pears, light spices, light to medium body. clean, dry finish.

Pours gold with a white heda. Smells flowery with some summer fruit. Taste is sugary with some fruity notes.

Pours out an almost clear golden color with a fruity/spicy aroma. The taste is rather light in body. There are some slight notes of some yeast with a bready taste. Just missing something

kinda light and seemed over-carbonated. a yellow body with a frothy head that had some retention. A banana aroma mixed with some yest and carbonation. Flavor seemed to be too light a mix of alcohol and carobonation.

Bought this in a Flanders, Belgium 6pk. ( global beer network promotion) This is what I see a tripel looking like! Golden in color. Body is lighter than what it should be. It could be better.
