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.

Bottle poured a cloudy apricot with a fizzy white head. Aromas of cookie, banana, and bubblegum. Flavors of bubblegum, pineapple and pepper.

Rather disappointing - not a bad beer by any means, but not outstanding either. Rather too much alcohol and too little flavour.

Bottle. Dark golden and cloudy with a nice head,. A sweet tripel, creamy and easy drinking. Nice.

Spicy and candy sugar sweet aroma. Cloudy gold color with a thick fluffy white head. Lot of gas released. Very spicy up front then it goes through a malty middle and ends with notes of fruit and candy sugar and finally a mild bitterness. Nicely done beer.

Interesting look in the bottle, typical of "live" beers. Lots of yeast in the bottom! The color is a pale yellowish orange, with a big foamy head which lingered pretty well. The smell is somewhat fruity, with just hint of sourness mixed in. The taste is spicier than I expected, a bit tingly on the tongue. The taste is a mixture of the good and bad: nice cherries, maybe vanilla thrown in...but there is that sourness, the ever-so-slight skunkiness. It’s an interesting mix, and I liked it, yet I didn’t. I don’t think this is a tripel, to be honest, but what do I know? The taste is above average, it’s nice and warming too! If you like Belgians, try this one!

Strong fruity aroma with some spices. Caramel, spices and nice bitterness in taste. Fruity finish, a bit disgusting and a beautiful color.

I like this ale, but I’d wager that, had St. Bernardus (the brewery, not the saint) not labelled this as a tripel, it probably would have been listed as a "Belgian Ale." (I enjoy meaningless bets like that. They did call it a tripel, and there’s no way to go back and see how we’d all react if they hadn’t.) It’s a light, fruity golden colored ale with a frothy white head. The flavor is yeasty with cherries and other light fruits. Alcohol does make a brief appearance in a warm, fruity finish.

Poured golden with a creamy white head. Perfect apperance I thought. Good aroma with candy apple, courant, wheat, orange and vanilla. Courant was the main thing that came out in the taste. Thick pacjed some punch but it was not overdone. On the whole I was very impressed.
