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.

Slightly hazy golden pour with a foamy 1-finger white head. Yeasty, pilsner like aroma. Metallic butterscotch taste.

The aroma has yeast, maple syrup, light fruit, and malt. The appearance is blond with a light orange hue. The flavor is like the aroma with much emphasis on the maple syrup. The palate is much thinner than it should be. Overall it’s a very interesting beer in the taste department but the texture is like water.

Foggy orange, gold body, thin white head. Aroma is cinnamon, nutmeg, grapefruit, yeasty with a pleasant hop background. Taste has the initial yeastiness and spices up front, with light alcohol warming.

750ml -2005 - shared by atpayne 5/25/07 - Aroma is bready yeast, lemon and alcohol. Pours cloudy yellow with a medium head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma with a nice peppery finish. Palate is smooth and creamy. Something about this mellower version struck me as a lot tastier.

RERATE - original rating 7/4/6/4/15=3.6 from 12/15/2006 - 330ml - 010607 on bottle - Aroma is sour bread dough, lemon, spice and alcohol. Initial pour was gold until I dumped most of the yeast which turned it a muddy brown. Big fluffy head and great lacing. Flavor matches aroma. Palate is creamy and smooth with a touch of tartness. Not a bad tripel and worth a try.

Bottled(330ml). -Hazy amber/orange coloured, medium sized white head, dusty fruity nose. Aroma is sweet malty, slight alcoholic, faint orange vitamins and just a tiny touch of yeast. So far the worst Sint Bernardus beer.

This orange-colored ale poured with a massive white head. The flavor is malty and herbal, with a fruity finish. Not as good as the St. Bernardus tripel.

Bottle shared with and courtesy of ozujsko (thanks!)
Poured a nice hazy darker orange, with a thick medium sized head that went away slowly. The nose was... hmm... vitamins, dust, yeast, and some malt. The taste was malty and somewhat spicy, quite sweet, hints of wheat, artificial sweetener style finish... Hmm. I hoped for more. It’s a good beer, and ok for a Tripel, but I really liked the "regular" Bernardus Tripel, and was let down a bit by this.

Slightly hazy golden with a large foamy white head. Aroma is light and fruity, some light eucalypt and caramel too. Balanced body, but not too exciting. Flavours of caramel and spicy hops. Some alcohol warmth combines with the sweetness in the finish. Pretty good, without being outstanding.
