2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle (in NZ). Pours a pleasant gold with a filmy white head. A mixed nose of soft yeasty banana and sharp citrus. The palate is all raw - raw grain and raw alcohol. As it warms in the mouth there is some herbal and fruity touches, but overall just too harsh.
3.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
bottle, amber golden, a little cloudy with medium head. Nice taste that stays in your mouth for some time, a bit too sweet.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
Oh no, questa proprio non mi ha detto niente di buono; l’unica cosa bella è stato l’aspetto, appena versata, colore piuttosto scuro per lo stile e ottima schiuma. Ma l’odore era alcolicissimo, proprio da lavare i pavimenti; il sapore molto meno etilico ma altrettanto sgradevole, granaglioso, con un erbaceo (luppolo?) che però ci stava come i cavoli in un plum cake. Il finale atroce, fa venir voglia di buttare via tutto; terminare 33cl è stato piuttosto difficile.
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Horizontal tasting Bruges (Brugge Tripel) vs. Ghent (Gentse Tripel). Bottled (thanks mom), BB 30-10-2006, sampled 05-01-2009 (about 5 years old). Small dying head, dark golden coloured. Aroma of orange, caramel and some spices. Sweet and alcoholic flavour, some malts, cloying. Finishes dry. Pretty awful tripel. Past its peak at this age, or just never really good? Ghent wins this one, hands down.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured golden with a full, creamy head. Nice lacing down trhe glass. Some citris spice and slight bitterness. Good beer, but a very average Belgian Triple.
