St Feuillien Triple

Brewed by Brasserie St-Feuillien / Friart
Style: Abbey Tripel
Le Roeulx, Belgium

Bottled at Monks Café, Stockholm. Pours out in a hazy golden colour with a rich, eruptive, firm white foam. Spicy and yeasty aroma leading to the drier side of the spectrum of fresh Seville oranges, orange-peels, immature Kaiser pears, white pepper, grassy noble hops and all-spice with a sweet firm undertone of English marmalade too balance things out. Full, spicy, fruity and fresh flavour of orange-peels, fresh-baked white bread, white pepper and grassy herbal hops. Medium-bodied with a rather sparkling mouthfeel. Long dryish hoppy finish (for the style) of grass, orange-peels and yeast. My kind of Tripel.

Bottle. Golden beer with a big white head. Aroma of sweet malt, cotton candy, yeast, spice, some fruit. Citrus and summer fruit with yeast and malt coming together to give it some richness and depth. Dry and not sickly sweet like many poor attempts at triples. This one is nice.

One of the better tripels I have had in a long time. It is traditional, and not overwhelmed by alcohol or strange spices. The aroma has wheat and citrus, as well as Belgian yeast and malt. Flavor has more of the smae, some coriander as well, sweetness that has the flavor of fruit. Gold color and cloudy.

750 ml bottle, St-Feuillien glass. Pours a rather cloudy golden color with a very thick frothy white head. Sublime aroma of spices, citrus and yeast. Excellent flavor of citrus, spices and yeast. The body has a light to medium thickness with a dry,powedery texture and low carbonation. An excellent, robust tripel.

#600 Weak nose of citrus, flowers and incense (i hope i spell this word correct). Quite clear yellow coloured with some particles. Taste is floral, bit yeasty and fruity-sweet. A very pleasant smooth palate. The palate is what makes this beer so good.

Bottle pours pale golden, slightly hazy, large fluffy white head, fairly sticky lacing, with tremendous amounts of carbonation.   Sweet spices on the nose, slightly fruity.   Spices, earth, some citrus, and pepper on the tongue.   Good body and mouthfeel.   Finish is long, earth, spices... Mmmmm, the 8.5% isn't even detectable.   A good, soft, tasty Abbey Tripel.

In short: A tasty and crisp tripel with an intense dry noble hopping. One of the best tripel out there. Underrated.
How: Bottle 750ml/330 many times. This re-write for a fresh (about 6 months) 750ml bottle.
The look: Partly cloudy golden body topped by medium white head leaving good lacing
In long: Nose is fruity, grassy and spicy. A rather complex taste. Main attractions are the fruity yeast (not focussing on any particular fruit), nice mix of spices (again with a lot more than just the usual coriander) and a whole lot of dry noble hops. Just citrusy enough to give it a pleasant refreshing tartness. Body feels full rich and crisp at the same time. Finish is very sharp (almost aggressive) and dry. With some age on it the finish becomes less sharp/dry and the fruity flavours take more room. I prefer fresh. 9% abv very well hidden. One of the best Tripel out there. I buy these this beer in large quanitities. Even bought a full 24 not so long ago. And when it’s all gone it leaves a hole in my heart almost as big as the one in my wallet.

Bottle. Clear golden colour, lots of bubbles and a huge white head. Fruity and spiced aroma with quite a bit of coriander, yeast and a hint of oranges. Sweet malty flavours with good fruit, mainly oranges, as well as dry yeastiness. Fizzy. A nice trippel as you would expect from this brewery.
