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.

12oz bottle. Smooth nose of citrus and yeast with caramel and vanilla. Pours a deep hazy gold with a a thick foamy head. Flavor is very yeasty with notes of bread, spicy hops and a strong malt backbone. Much better balanced than most tripels, a really tasty brew.

Bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a dense white head. Aroma is fruity, with melon, peach and orange, and also yeast and spice. Medium body. Flavor is nice but a bit lighter than the aroma led me to believe. Fruity and Yeasty. Not bad.

A hazy golden colored beer, with a white head. It disappears quickly. The aroma is malty, some yeast and fruity, notes of orange. The taste is a little spicey, very malty and fruits like orange. It has a dry aftertaste, but it’s a good tripel

750 ml. Average-size white head that reduces to small pools of bubbles. The body is hazy dark yellow. The aroma is malty with notes of bread and cookie. It also shows notes of banana, clove and pineapple as well as moldy/mustiness. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. The finish remains mostly sweet, but some light bitterness creeps in at the end. Nice mouthfeel with a full body, velvety texture and lively carboantion. Nice tripel, though the aroma is mostly dominated by the bread and mustiness.

This is a great beer. 11.2 oz from Knightly Spirits. This beer has a great caramel and apple aroma with some yeast to it. Flavor is much the same with some fruit (strawberry?) to it. Very good, worthy of the Watou label. Finish lingers slightly dry, but overall very good.

33cl bottle from World of Beer (Largo, FL). Pours a dark amber golden with a thick and creamy white head that settles slowly gracefully lacing the glass. Aroma is malty sweetness with notes of honey, caramel, hay, grass, bread, yeast, and straw. Faint hints of sweet ripe fruit. Flavor is viscuous and syrupy with notes caramel, syrup, honey, toffee, and bready yeast. Complexities abound as the ale warms. Slightly nutty with a medium-body and slow, lingering sweet sugar plum finish. As good, if not better, than the St. Bernardus Tripel.
