Watou Tripel

Brewed by St. Bernard Brouwerij
Style: Abbey Tripel
Watou, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip

Gold color; lingering small head. Aroma of amber malt, nuts and green apples. Rich body of amber malt, honey, yeast, grains, slight caramel, citrus, spice, white pepper, earth, floral hops.

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.

75cl bottle . Pours hazy yellow gold with a white lasting head. Strong yeast fruit & spices in the aroma & taste. Filling body. LOng end. Great Tripel!

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.

750ml bottle @ RBNAG’07. Almost clear orange body with some floaters and a decent white head. Aroma of sweet malt and castor sugar (marzipan?). Quite sweet flavor with a yeasty/fruity freshness. Complex and nice.

[bottle] Clear amber color with a dense white head. Pale malt aroma and good yeast presence. Flavors are sugary malt, although the sweetness is somewhat restrained, banana and fruit. Spicy, herbal hop finish.

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.
