Buona tripel, un classicone, bella anche per la sua non difficile beva, carattere raro in una birra del genere.

Bottle. Pours hazy, deep golden with a big white head. Loved the aroma with hints of sweet fruits, spices, lemon en orange. Great taste with a nice balance between sweet and some bitter notes. Great brew.

Bottle purchased at the brewery. Pours a clear golden body with a creamy, medium white top. Aroma is delicious; flowery honey notes with hints of yellow apples, hay and molasses. Taste is very focused and tight, with honey, brandy, mellow floral tones and hints of molasses. So much flavor in such a tightly connected taste profile. Warming alcohol, without every being pronounced. A subtle creation, and a very, very solid tripel from St. Bernard.

11.2 oz. bottle from a mix-pack. Pours a clear, dark gold color with a huge bubbly, white head. The aroma is citrus hops, spices and caramel. The flavors of this beer is mostly sweet, with a sharp sour note. The palate is heavy, syrupy, and highly carbonated, with a mild bitter aftertaste. Overall, an light, refreshing, candy-like beer.

Pours a pale yellow with a rocky white head. The aroma is Sweet, slightly citric and fruity. The flavour has banana, clove, vanilla, orange and lemon. This is an alright triple, but not outstanding.

Pours golden yellow. Thin white head. aroma is slightly yeasty with a distinct malt aroma and a touch of wheat. Nice flavour, bold and spicy with great malt character this is a nice triple but does not stand up to the rest of the st. bernardus line. good but not great.

Originally rated April 2006. Part of a St-Bernardus gift pack from Christmas 2005, at the LCBO. Best before date is 02 05 08 on back label. Pours a cloudy brown-beige-orange colour with a big creamy white head. Chunky, with great retention and some patchy lace. Sediments of all shape and sizes float around. Carbonation is very intense. The nose is of Belgian yeast, with some nuttiness and notes of fruits. Thin mouthfeel with some mild molasse found in the taste. Also found is some nuts, dark fruit, spices and caramel.

Poured a pale amber with a large white head. Aroma of wheat, lemon, yeast. Taste is fruity and bready. Some yeast as well and spicy throughout. Too much carbonation. Finish is slightly bitter with a light sense of alcohol, which is surprising since this is only 7.5%. Overall good.
