Bright and golden like acacia honey, this brew’s lively carbonation exhales a fluffy long-lasting white head. Potently aromatic like many tripels, St Feuillien’s take suggests the usual blend of sweet grains and classic overtones of bubble gum, soapy banana and pineapple esters. Unmistakable coconut shavings, biscuits, lemon peel and waxy honey present the certain idiosyncrasies of this beer. Deeper investigation yields hints of green mint, leather, cigar smoke and white grapes. An undeniably attractive though almost cloying aroma. Fluffy and ripe, the mouthfeel follows were the nose left off, starting sharp with citrus tones and quickly moving to spices and bubble gum. Ample grains carry a satisfying and balancing dryness as the finish leans towards a slightly herbaceous tone of basil and pepper. The alcohol isn’t felt until a lingering heat warms the back of the tongue. Initially this seems to be a rather formulaic brew, but as the glass warms up the spice profile becomes especially intriguing, suggesting clove, black pepper and slightly musty peach flavor. St Feuillien has crafted a dynamic and enjoyable tripel that definitely ranks on the higher end of the style. (19/06/2007)

Feb 1, 2010 Flaske 0,75l fra juletilbudet hos Alko Arkadia. Lys gylden på farge. Veldig høyt luftig skum som blir nesten borte etter noen minutter. Skummet fester seg markert til glasset. Litt uklar. Krydret & svakt syrlig aroma. Litt frukt. Smaken er vel avrundet med krydder og litt frukt. En anelse ristet malt. Lite kullsyre. Alkoholen skinner gjennom i ettersmaken. Litt daff. KI=11

Aroma is very nice, some barnyard, floral, citrus zest, yeasty, a little musty, light malt. Flavor of nice soft malt, some fruitiness, spicy, alcohol spice, nice light flavor hops with a subtle bitterness. Mouth feel is soft with light-medium body and lively carbonation. Overall, a very enjoyable beer!

Jan 23, 2010 Golden brown pour, after intense headburst that is, so we find some yeast flakes as well. Very hoppy and yeasty aroma, distant fruits and spices.
Full body, but too yeasty and alcoholic in comparison to the flavour.
Still totally unclear why they added vitamin c. It’s hurting my brain.

Jan 12, 2010 Pours opaque yellow/gold with a small white head. Aroma is fruit, spices and hops. The taste is much the same but the spices are more pronounced... has a mild bitter aftertaste. Medium carbonation. Very good Triple. Very much like a Trappist... with more spices.

Jan 10, 2010 750 ml. Hazy gold body with frothy/pillowy white head, mostly lasting. Aroma of toasted grain, clove, spice, strawberry, cobwebs, flowers and lemon. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and moderately bitter. Slight peppery alcohol in the finish along with a lingering hop bitterness on top of an sweet aftertaste along with clove. Medium body, watery texture and lively carbonation. This is the way a tripel should taste. It doesn’t wow you with innovation or unexpected flavors. It’s just solid all around starting with a multi-layered aroma and ending with an aftertaste that continues revealing flavors in the aftertaste.

Jan 8, 2010 Aroma of clover, white grape and banana. Appearance is golden and opaque with creamy head. Flavor matches nose, but is heavy on banana. Almost reminds me of a Hefeweissen. Palate is slightly bubbly. Alright.
