Gouyasse Tripel (Triple)

Bottle, Brewtopia. Pale golden with thick creamy off-white head. Sweet, heavy custard aroma is not pleasant but has some ginger and ripe fruit. High carbonation. Very sweet. Some mineral and powdery elements. Way too sweet and too much talc, not my thing at all.

Tasting at Brewtopia. Tasting at Brewtopia. Nice clear golden color. Aroma of yeast, apples and some citrus tartness is detected. Flavor is very yeasty and has some odd sweet/sour notes going on. Odd.

Hazy light gold. Fruity, sweet with hints of 7-UP. Very sweet, plasticy with notes of pears. OK beer, but it’s a bit too sweet and spritzy for my personal tastes.

Pours out a mostly clear golden/straw color with a big, lasting white head. Aroma is of some yeast and some lemon zest. Taste is rather smooth for the 9%. Some light fruits and citrus flavors go with some yeast and grain notes, slightly dry finish.

11.2 oz bottle received from Beer of the Month Club. Pours a crystal clear gold with lots of bubbles rising to the surface. Large white head that lasted until mid-glass and left partial lace. The aroma is slightly sour with yeast and a few notes of lemon. The flavor is mildly sour, but is more dominated by yeast with some grain. Become very dry towards the finish and there is a some lingering dryness/bitterness well after the swallow.

Aroma of mild hops and yeast, hints of leather. Pours a gold, slightly amber color with a thick white head that stays around for the duration, and strong lacing. Taste of citrus hops, balanced with honey malt. Full bodied, with a slightly sticky texture and good carbonation.

I thought this beer was terrific. During my visit to Belgium, I was surprised at how many beers I tried that struck me as just average (as if everything could be awesome), and this one was definitely a cut above some others. It poured a hazy yellow with good head that formed a scummy island of foam in the middle of my glass and left very good lacing. Aroma was slightly sweet and light with a pleasant wheat smell and some light sweetness. Flavor was a very nice earthiness, and some floral notes at the start and finish of each sip. A clean and very dry mouthfeel. I thought this beer was terrific. I would highly recommend this beer. I bought this bottle at Beer Mania and drank it at a friend’s apartment.

Pours a hazy honey-gold color with an aroma of sour apple, toffee, malt, and some hops. Head is lacy, soapy, and oily all at once. Tastes of sugar, sweet apples, and caramel with a slightly sweet finish. Laces up the glass nicely. Good stuff.
