St. Bernardus Tripel

Nov 2005 - I have to admit, as abt 12 is my fav beer and I’ve been on a trippel kick lately, that I had high expectations for this and was a tad disappointed. Beer poured light yellow with orangey tints with a huge head which disappeared rather quickly. Taste was tart and sour with a some sweet fruits and a nice hop twang finish. A good trippel, but not on par with best ones.

Bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar: Very cloudy pale peach color with a generous fluffy white head. Aroma of spice from the yeast and fruity with white grape. Flavor starts peppery and spicy with fruit (pear, grape) a light alcohol burn and a spicy, citrus dry finish. Medium body is creamy and tangy with lively carbonation.

12 oz bottle poured hazy orange little white head that turns to some lace. Belgium yeast, fruit and malt aroma, clean mouth feel some light carbonation. The taste on this one is lightly sweet malty fruity start slightly hoppy bitter finish. Not one of my favorite tripel’s but good non the less

Brown bottle, 330 ml, best before 25 01 10, via Importations Privées Bièropholie, savoured on September 27 2007; eye: golden, lightly hazy, good effervescence, nice creamy white head, a bit of lacing; nose: yeast, coriander, light caramel, fruity; mouth: in that order, silky, carbonation, caramelized malt, spices, a bit of bitterness, creamy finale en malt and caramel with some spices, mildly sweet, slightly bitter, medium body, quite carbonated; overall: good FRANÇAIS Bouteille brune, 330 ml, 8 %, meilleure avant 25 01 10, via Importations Privées Bièropholie, savourée le 27 septembre 2007; œil : dorée, légèrement voilée, bonne effervescence, belle mousse blanche crémeuse, un peu de dentelle; nez : levure, coriandre, léger caramel, fruitée; bouche : dans cet ordre, soyeuse, carbonatation, malt caramélisé, épices, petite pointe d’amertume, finale crémeuse en malt et caramel avec un peu d’épices, moyennement sucrée, très légèrement amère, corps moyen, très carbonatée; en résumé : bonne

This was rather disapointing I had just expected more of this. The aroma is rather boring for a tripel, a bit of yeast and alcohol. The flavor is of alcohol, with a tint of fruit and a bitter aftertaste. After some time you can taste the fruit better and it gets better for each zip.

Bottle. prob one of my favorite tripels to date - i haven’t had too many because they are just not my style of beer. hints of fruits, vanilla, lots of yeast, and some spice. really not too bad - similar traits in mouthfeel to the other st. bernardus brews. but in the end, give me the 12 anyday!!!

A hazy orange beer with a nice head. Aroma is sweet, yeasty and spicy. Taste is malty, sweet. Notes of alcohol and spices. Nice mouthfeel

From the bottle. Pours with a cloudy, hazy golden colour. Decent fruity flavour. Where this one loses points for me is in the palate, It has a wicked aftertaste that just lingers on and on.
