Watou Tripel

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

Nice lookiing beer, huge head with loads of lace, but the relative clarity of it reveals a lot of floaties. The initial sweet, candy and bubblegum flavor yields to an oddly bitter cereal- or cardboard-like flavor. It does kinda grow on you though. All in all a nice beer.

good beer from the guys at St berni... love the other tripels, creamy white head some fruits, some sour bitter after taste.

Corked bottle and served in my St Bernardus glass: Poured a hazy amber with a lasting frothy white head and very good Belgium lace. The aroma has notes of candi sugar, apricot, pear cider, cardamom, black pepper, old noble hops, plastic, and earthy yeast esters. The taste was rather old which I sort am digging with a oxidized cardboard finish after the initial hit of sweet malts, caramel, apricot, bubblegum, and other assorted sugary fun. What makes this very attractive is a nice dose of bitters around the midsection that strikes the back and sides of the palate with a cleansing effectiveness. Some lingering pungent spice on the aftertaste. The mouth feel is a tad weak and sort of fizzy but does keep it from feeling too heavy or cloy. This beer works and is aged just right, nice job Miguel. I am so proud of myself, no really.

Pours a orangish yellow in color with a creamy white head. Sweet alcohol with a hint of fruit aroma. Sour bitter malty grass flavor.

Pours orange, dark golden color. Has a sweet aroma, some yeast. The flavor had somewhat of a sour flavor, not typical of most triples. It also felt very heavy. Not my favorite.

Bottle, 33 cl. Taste it many times. Orange-amber color with a cream coloured head. Aroma of yeast, spices and lemon ?. Flavour of yeast. Good tripel.

The flavour of this beer is pleasantly soft and is characterized by a delicate bitterness where the balance between malt and hop is based upon a fruity orange taste with a straight fresh after taste (7.5% alcohol content). Nice beer that goes down well.

Bottled. Light golden coloured. Unclear. Dense off white head. Fruits, spice, yeast and some orange peel in the nose. Flavour is fruity and yeasty. Loads of spices and orange. Quite refreshing. Medium bodied. Has some slight alcoholnotes. Ends on a fresh citric and light yeasty note. Nice summerbeer without too much alcohol.
