Commercial Description:
The aroma of this beer is agreeably gentle and is carried by a discreet bitterness while the balance between the malt and hops relies on fruity accents and a lightly fresh aftertaste.

750 ML Bottle-cloudy yellow pour w/a moderate white foamy head. Sweet Belgian aroma. Flavors of cane sugar, light fruit, bread dough, orange peel & floral hops. Light, easy drinking brew w/a smooth, dry finish. Not real complex, but very enjoyable. Another winner from the folks @ St. Bernardus.

Small head, pours cloudy yellow. Fruity aroma, almost like a wine. Hops come through nicely, well balanced with the fruit and malt. "Discreet bitterness" is a great way of putting it. Nice aftertaste.

Cloudy golden pour with an aroma of fruit and some citrus. Tastes of bread with some malt and a touch of sugar. Nice bit of hops at finish. A creamy but thin mouthfeel with nice carbonation.

Dark tan/gold with a persistent white head. Aromas of candied pears, apricot, and light malt. Flavors of yeast, caramel malt, and sweet fruit. A fine tripel.

Slightly cloudy, medium amber pour. Butterscotch aroma. Flavor is much less sweet than the aroma, but still has a nice softness to it with butterscotch and hay. Palate seems a bit thin, though.

Bottle. Poured hazy gold/yellow with medium-sized white head. The aroma was slightly grassy and full of sweet malts and pear and banana esters. The flavor was grassy with some esters, bready malts, amnd light residual sweetness. The bitterness at mid-palate and finish was balancing and not strong. The finish was a little dry with some residual sweetness, soft fruit, and subtle grassy hops. The mouthfeel is crisp and medium in body. Overall, an excellent tripel. I had this at a St. Bernardus beer dinner at Fifth Earl Market the other night and found this one to be better than the St. Bernardus Tripel.
