St. Bernardus Tripel

Brewed by St. Bernard Brouwerij
Style: Abbey Tripel
Watou, Belgium

Poured a light amber, nice and gold. Small head that quickly went down. Sweet aroma of apples and pears and alcohol...taste of light carbonation and nice and sweet- fills the palate but is smooth as well. Dry mouth after the sweetness- good balance. A very enjoyable tripel.

Deep golden in color with a tinge of red this poured a very fine thick head that slowly dissipated. The nose was filled with banana, spice, yeast and mineral. In the mouth this is medium-bodied very well-balanced with an enticing mouthfeel that has some richness but is also silky soft. The flavors follow the nose which makes this both a nice beer for the summer, due to the flavors, and the winter with the density. Very enjoyable.

Cloudy gold; nice lingering head. Sweet malt and powder sugar aroma and flavor, plus slight white pepper and citrus. Overall a beautiful balance. I’ve enjoyed dozens of big and small bottles and many glassed on tap. A world class tripel. Years ago I had a blind tasting of 24 tripel-like beers and this was voted in the top 3 by the 9 tasters.

bottle. tried it out of a St. Bernardus verity pack. very light in color, cant remember the head situation. sour and tart, with a presense of yeast

11.2 oz. bottle into generic goblet. Cloudy copper with a medium head that quickly fades. Tart cider and vinous notes in the nose. Initially sweet and then sharp on the tongue. Plenty of apple and pear flavors and sweetness that is countered by just enough of a sour note and bitterness to keep things interesting. The mouthfeel softens later but remains tart and dry, unlike other tripels where the sweetness builds and takes over. A great tripel.

Very pronounced yeast and tangy nose. Pours a light amber with a bit of opacity, little sediment. This beer has a very pronounced flavor that follows the aroma, with a generous taste of yeast followed by sour apple, green grapes, and hints of citrus. A very clean finish that lingers in the mouth. A unique taste that presents a pleasant alternative to some of the other abbey/trappist beers, but not my absolute favourite.

Pours a funky yellow with a hint of green (?) in it. Tight bubbled head disappates quickly. Nose is tart and yeasty. Flavor is much more balanced, with a sweetness showing through, followed by a citrus tartness and a malt finish.

Pretty much like the others say: a very nice tripel. Very well balanced!
Too much to add, too little to say :)
