75cl bottle from 1,5 years old. Appearance: clear blonde beer, small stable head. Nose: caramel, yeast, spices, dried fruits. Taste: fruits, alcohol noticeable, rather sweet, caramel.

Paired with roasted pork tenderloin, apples, leaks and fennel. Accentuates the flavor of the fennel and mixes well with the other flavors as well. Smells like belgian yeast, honey, and some sort of spicey note. Tastes sweet and sour but is well balanced.

Hazy orange colour, with thick creamy head. Smells malts, coriandre, and other spices, also honey. Taste is bitter, but very spicey, with sweetness always detectable. Very rich mouthfeel, also alcohol is clear, but in a nice way. Amazing, St. Bernardus is always great!

some fruitiness and a alcohol burn. A bit tart. The aroma is more intense than the flavor. Nevertheless a complex and delicious beer

0.33l bottle from beermerchants.com I think. This has a massive big and really hanging in there just off-white fluffy head on top of a blurry honey-golden body, packed with floaters following the carbonation bubbles. It looks pretty darn good this one! On the aroma this I get fruity tones of orange and lemonade, some strong and sharp alcohol tones lurking underneath some yeasty and almost spicy tones. Yeah, it’s average to lively carbonated, full-bodied with a mild oily texture. First thing hitting the buds is warming sweet alcohol and Belgian yeast. When that fades a bit ( after a few sips) I get some dry caramel, tones of flowers, leafs and it ends in a light warming and lasting finish. A true classic this one, and I enjoyed all the way. 22.06.2012

Pours an orangegolden color with a large white head. Taste is fruity, sour, spicy and a bit bitter. Nice Tripel.

Excellente triple d’abbaye. Ronde et équilibrée. Goût bien fruité et épicé, des notes florales équilibrées dans une légère amertume et une légère acidité.

Bouteille 330 ml. Robe ambrée, surmontée d’un épais collet blanc mousseux. Arôme: levure belge, malts et fruits. Goût: malt, levures, agrumes. Très bonne balance entre le sucré et l’amertume. Ronde en bouche. Très bonne bière.

Pours a cloudy golden color with white frothy head. Smells of yeast, hay, and lemon. Tastes of yeast and citrus with slight bitterness and slight sweetness. Nice balance. Feels bubbly on the tongue with nice carbonation and the alcohol is very well incorporated. Delicious Belgian Ale.

pours hazy pale but bright yellow with a frothy white head, very good retention and lacing. bready and doughy, lightly toasted malts, yeasty - lemony too, booze, herbs and flowers, maybe coriander, very hint of acidity and very few lightly oxidated notes, probably aged hops. lively carbonation - almost prickly, some sweetness, medium body - oily, very nice sustained medium long grassy, citrusy and spicy finish. very nice offering!
