4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20 tympanic (98) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 8, 2008
Poured into chalice from 11.2oz bottle, minimally refrigerated to the printed temperature suggestion, 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit. Fizzy, large bubbles rising like champagne to a frothy head. Taste, color and aroma reminiscent of apple cider. Soft and mellow when swallowed, but leaves an exciting tingly aftertaste. Tasty and enjoyable Belgian Tripel.

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Maria (7805) - Thisted, DENMARK - JAN 6, 2008
75 cc bottle. Light amber with an OK head. The aroma is sweetish with hints of malt. The flavour is sweetish and yet fresh with notes of citrus, especially in the finish. I like it’s balance, it’s nice and smooth, and IMO more like a blonde - but nice!

Pours medium to light orange color forming a decent white foamy head. Aroma is of vanilla malts, yeast, and some hop flowers. Flavour is of St Bernard’s usual tripel.....still very good beer, would love to try on tap.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 drfabulous (2140) - Lexington, Kentucky, USA - DEC 16, 2007
A fairly ideal tripel. Fruity. Banana. This bottle sat for awhile in my stash for some reason. It shouldn’t have lasted that long. Another great St. Bernardus.
