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)

Nov 25, 2009 How this beer got such a high rating might have to do with how the brewery is - almost 1000 years?
It’s quite tasty, but not overly so - not even close to a 100 rating in my opinion. Drink this more for the one-time experience of its historicity.

Nov 12, 2009 I noticed slight anise in the nose, and of course the floural. Has a flowery lite honey flavor. Flavors are delicate, bitterness is quenching. Clean finish. Goes down easy.

Oct 19, 2009 Pours a hazy light orange with a medium white head. Aroma is of light fruits, cream, spice, and a little alcohol. Flavor is even more fruity, good spiciness, and lots of hops. A little alcohol at the end/finish. Really works well, this combination of flavors and this amount of hops. Creamy finish, medium viscosity, higher carbonation. Overall, excellent plus.

Oct 14, 2009 Courtesy SoLan. This one pours a dark golden yellow color topped by a small, foamy white head. The aroma shows a nice balance between light citrus fruits, candied sugar, doughy malts, and some spicy peppery yeast and floral hops. The flavor follows suit with the light citrus fruits, candy sugar, and pepper balanced by the sweet doughy malt and some floral hops. Medium bodied and smooth with a clean, dry finish. Even with the age this one was still holding up nicely. Pretty nice tripel.
