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.

Poured a cloudy yellow-orange color with a small white head. Sweet malt aroma with some spicey notes, some toffee and candied citrus. Slightly dry, sweet taste throughout. Good brew

Bottle. Pours clear golden yellow with an enormous creamy white head. Aroma has a milky feel to it. Lots o yeast, caramel, spices and a little caramel. Flavour is not sour as other tripels, quite sweet with a clear malty presence, some barn, some coriander, a little vanilla and a non-existent alchol-feel. Finish is slightly warming. Great.

OK, I admit that I’m surprised that no one rated this before. It’s great, probably my favorite from St. Bernardus. Nose of orange blossom and apricot brandy, alcohol, sweet malts, bread and yeast, and even a touch of Cascade (ok, that’s probably just the orange blossom fooling me). Cloudy dark orange, huge head, explodes out of the bottle Orange, bread and yeast, mustiness in the flavor. Mouth is a big full Belgian. Really quite good. Noy cheap, but great value compared to the Hugh Maolne I had last night.

Tulip glass. Pale yellow/gold color with minimal head for a triple. Honey champnage aroma. Mild taste of malt, fruit, and yeast with a sparring amount of hops. Needs more spice.

Bottle, Brouwershof, Watou, West Flanders, Belgium, 26-06-07 Hazy amber colour, my notes are then a bit sketchy and say ’dirty pear juice’ which I assume that I meant on the nose? Typical sweet spicyness but with yeast and warming alcohol carrying through.

750 ml bottle. Cloudy yellow colour. Very tall fluffy white head that clongs to the glass. Head falls down quickly. Lemony wheat aroma. Rich malty and clean aroma. Wheaty flavours. Quite dry finish.

33 cL bottle, 040607. Aroma of burnt Belgian candy and yeast. And toffee. Hazy amber gold color with a sturdy white head that laces a little. Smells like maple syrup on waffles as the glass approaches the lips. Tastes that way a bit. I swear there’s maple in this. Minimal bitter. Just enough to stimulate the tongue. See what others have said. They are probably all correct. This is damnably complex. It keeps changing as it warms. It is a bit sweet, but it is otherwise exquisite.
