charlotte (1996), Vanløse, Denmark Jan 31, 2007 Orange colour good spice and fruity tast.average head.and a dry finish.Just a nother good tripel. vanvenlo (794), Glen Iris, Australia Jan 31, 2007 22 Jul 2006 - Light apricot, spiced, hoppy with some barnyard touches. Light cloudy amber colour, good fluffy head and good suds lacing. Luscious fruit and hop flavour. Thick mouthfeel, tangy finish and lovely fruit hop balance. This is one of my favourite tripels. jblendy (518), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA Jan 25, 2007 Pours golden with a fizzy and slightyl rocky white head. Candy sugar, apple/tropical fruit, and light doughy yeast aroma. Lots of fruit and peppery spice in the flavor, a small hint of licorice, light hop bitterness, and a bit of mint on the finish. Palate is light/medium, effervescent, dryer than expected, lightly alcoholic, slightly bitter, and a bit of lingering peppermint. Nicely balanced with such an interesting array of flavors. Certainly worth trying. hopdog (5525), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 19, 2007 750ml bottle. Poured a medium golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of spices and fruits (apples). Tastes of the same. I found both the aromas and tastes to be on the softer and muted side. I would have preferred them to be stronger. Lunkie (1020), Glen Iris, Australia Jan 19, 2007 Sweet candy malt aroma with spices. Cloudy amber colour with good head and lacing. Malt sweet flavour with spice and hops. Smooth palate. SSSteve (2045), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Jan 14, 2007 clear gold color with a large foamy white head. tropical fruit aroma with yeast and maybe a hint of licorice. flavor is bright and fruity. candy-like with pepper and spices. i keep tasting black necco wafers(licorice?) by far the best st. feuillien. iep (229), Amsterdam, Netherlands Jan 5, 2007 Dark murky orange with a thick rocky head. Decent lacing. Nice refreshing ’transparant’ aroma of honey, sugar, hops and sweet flowers, without becoming unbalanced. Lush taste, drier than expected, very complex. Carbonation was heavy which kinda distracted from the flavor, but it made the brew very crisp & refreshing. A very good tripel. boboski (1095), Alabama, USA Jan 4, 2007 750ml, sampled May 2001. Pours a bright white head that sits dutifully atop a hazy golden body that looks as if it contains an oily honey. Raucous sweet malt aroma escapes the confines of the glass, a prelude to a nose of alcohol, candy sugar, generous malts and peppery fruits. Flavor is much the same, now hops are showing thier face, along with some tart caramel. Alcohol is very warm but not offensive, meshing quite well with the spiciness and sweetness. Palate was medium to full and the body seemed very well rounded and expressive for this style. Finishes on the dry side with a lingering white pepper component. This example seems to have just enough bitterness from hops to compliment the other nuances, never detracting from the quaffability. Very tasty, never too sweet. Great triple, a classic.
