3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
33 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy orange and with a dense off-white head. Aroma is classic yeasty with a mild spice tone. Solid level of carbonation. Flavour starts yeasty spiced and somewhat grassy hoppy before a mild sweetness joins. A nice caramel note lingerings with the spice notes into the finish providing a classic Belgian flavour in a smooth and uncomplicated way. Nice.

In spite of its wide commercial distribution Grimbergen tripel retains some character. Slightly metallic and grassy. Some citrus, hops. Not bad.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Brought back from Belgium in my suitcase! Pours crystal golden with a lot of effervescense. Creates a white pillowey head that recedes to a long lasting cover. Medium body triple with fruitiness and spicy overtones. Very good triple. Just enough hop presence to offset the sweetness. Body gets a little heavy as it warms up.Overall, very drinkable.

Bottle poured into Grimbergen glass in Paris. Pours normal golden triple colour with a creamy white head. Aroma was hoppy with a little spice and flowers. Flavour was a little citrus and a little bitterness, Okay tripel.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 22 Sep 2007) Golden yellow colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of apricots and grassy, spicy hops. Malty, fruity taste with apricots, orange and spicy hops in the finish. Rather sweet, with some macro character. Enjoyable though.
