Pours hazy yellow with lots of head. Slight hint of spice on the aroma with minimal fruit. Tastes refreshing but was expecting more flavor. A decent beer, but doesn't stand up to the Quality of the Abt 12. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy orange/blond coloured brew with an decent taste of sweetness and an well hidden bitter finish.

Clear golden pour with a large white head. Sweet citrus and banana fruit notes, a nice bready malt sweetness, and some sugar. There’s a little bit of spice and some yeastiness as well. Really great malt and sugar sweetness to the flavor. Tons of banana and spice notes, a bit of clove, and some pear. Really an awesome beer.

Bottle at Post Office Vaults, Birmingham. Hazy blonde, ring of head. Smells like Belgian yeast, with all the sweetness and pumpkin that entails. Very fizzy on the tongue - like a Hefe. Balanced flavour, no burn. Some carrot in the taste, with wheat and barley sugar. Very drinkable Tripel, though not enormously complex.

33 cL bottle at Cafe de la Paix in Poperinge. Orange blondem good head. Spiced, nice hop aroma. Fine spiced beer, good though not amazing. Tasty, really pleasant.

Beautiful hazy golden with a thick, persistent white head. A hoppy Tripel, yet showing the delicate aromatics of apple and flowers. Highly carbonated with some yeasty banana, an unctuous mouthfeel and an overall sense of balance.

bottle, served into the watou glassware at francis cafe on pilsen’s main square. a decent enough tripel but with nothing standing out - bright orange with a lingering off-white head; aroma of candi sugar, old cheesecake and mulch; hints of orange zest and clove with some grassy hops in the finish. solid enough

Bottle. Pours clear orange with a medium-small, fizzy white head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is biscuit malt, Candi sugar, light fruity esters, and faint spicy hops. Flavor is sweet malt and Candi sugar, light cellar notes, light hops and bitterness with a faint tartness, light fruity esters and a dry finish. Medium-full body, moderate carbonation.

I thought this was only OK. Not what I was expecting, a bit too light and not typical of the style. I found myself a bit confused drinking it. I picked it up when I bought the gift pack with the glass, this is probably my least favorite of all the St. Bernardus offerings

Bottle - pours a cloudy orange, bunch of yeast in the bottom of the glass. Aroma is malty and a bit orange. Taste is sweet with a bit of bitter. Solid triple.
