St. Bernardus Tripel

Pours a copper amber with a big frothy white head. Smells of typical tripel noters, citrus and sweet malts. The taste is very sweet. Candy sugar, orange citrus, and sweet malts are all present in the taste. This is about as solid of a Belgian tripel as there is. It defines the style very well, and I would use this one as a clasic example of what one should taste like for someone new.

Thin amber color, sticky lasting head, smell of dark honey or molasses. Flavor: Alcohol is noticeable but not dominant; mild, brief sweetness of unripe pear becomes mild bitterness. Finish of hops and subtle alcohol. Damn pleasant.

Bottled. Much voluminous and creamy head, good resistance. Yellow clearly color, much fraught, solid and bare of fizz. Rather light scent with malty aromas, sugary, alcohol, aged cereals. Wrapping and much alcoholic taste with a structured body. Much warmth, smooths down and sweetish with agreeable notes of clear mildew and stum.

I had this beer at a tasting and its percentile is well-deserved. It was fruity but didn’t have any lead characters that I was aware of. Another fine example of Belgian brewing.

Aroma: caramel Appearance: amber, hazy, aminimal head Flavor: not special Palate: medium body, fizzy Overall - I drank better

[bottle] Very mellow fruity aroma. Hazy amber in color, with a short white head. Very rich fruit flavors, like pear and apple, with bready yeast background. Alcohol is quite apparent, along with some strong carbonation. Not my favorite St. Bernardus beer, but still quite good.

Botle. Amber in color with a lot of sparkling. Malty fruity aroma. Flavor is sweet with malt, lemon and some alcohol. Citrus and soft hoppy bitterness in the finish. A medium body.

bottle. golden color. sweet aroma. quite yeasty and caramelly. bit bready. bit of bitter spicyness.
