St. Bernardus Tripel

sour aroma with white head... taste of sour and citrus is well balance with the alcohol flavor.. very smooth.. amazing

beer pours golden with thick white head, good carbonation and floaties galore. smells of yeast, citrus fruits and alcohol. taste is a well balanced and complex blend of yeast, apples and oranges, and a cinnamony spice. very smooth and goes down easy, delicious from first sip to last sip. great stuff.

Bottle from Sam’s. Pours nearly clear gold with bubbly white head... head recedes but sticks around. Nose shows some hops, lemon and orange citrus, some bitter citrus peel, peaches, some banana, and lovely yeast. Spicy. Taste shows some tart pear or apple, lots of slightly under-ripe peach, herbal notes, honey, and white pepper. Full taste and clean, dry finish. Well carbonated but not prickly. Dig it.

Gold blonde colour, big head, yeast grains in the glass when ouring out the beer. Aroma has something of ornage peels and lemon or lime. A bit herbal. Tastes full, smooth, sweety, like sinas (sisi), a slighlt bitter finish. Nice beer though the sisi-taste is not my thing.

Bottled. It is very carbonated and pours a light caramelish orange with a thin to medium white head. aroma is sweet and spicy with flavor of fruit and yeast with alcohol presence. Great drier finish.

750ml bottle via Hagen. Pours a hazy amber with a large white head. Nose is all about some VERY spicy Belgian yeast. Taste is complex and hard to describe as their ate LOTs of flavors but they meld together so nicely. I think i get some ginger, pepper bananna, clove, cinnamon, orange, honey and more pepper. It is hot, but not alcoholic hotness, this is spicy hotness, almost like jalapeno peppers in there, but not really lol. Like i said i have a hard time on picking out the flavors in this beer because the flavors meld together so perfectly. In any case, this is a very very good beer. Body is medium, carbonation is high.

Kind of a weird brew. Lots of bready/biscuit flavors, with a an odd sweetness similar to brown sugar, some slight citric fruitiness, brett like basement funk, and an herbal hop note towards the finish. A bit unbalanced, and a bit too sweet for my taste. Not bad, just not for me.

Nice straw gold appearance with rocky, meringue like head that dissipates quickly into a thin but resiliant white layer. Nose is of pre-baked Pilsbury biscuits, clean lemon, and miscellaneous herbs. On the palate this beer is well-carbonated with a rising, zesty citrus flavour followed by a sweet and tangy bite that leads to the finish. Citrus baked goods come to mind, such as pies.... lemon, maybe key lime, very citrusy. Finish is long and rather tart, perhaps a touch bitter as well.
