Poured a hazy dark golden color with a white head. Aromas of fruity yeast. Flavor starts sweet and finishes dry with yeast and hops. Medium body with lively carbonation and a kind of prickly mouthfeel due to the carbonation. A very tasty tripel.

Bottle. A hazy yellow beer with a small white head. Dry hoppy aroma with hints of spices. A good balance between hops and malts in the flavor, a bit more dry and "easier" than the Westmalle Dubbel. Yeasty character through the whole experience. Bitter palate.

I am quite familiar with this lovely ale. It is a deep yellow with a creamy looking head.The nose is of pears, apples, and alcohol. The taste is of earthy, bright fruity malt. The hops are enough to make this a clean finishing beer. The sweetness is not cloying. The mouthfeel is one of the best I have ever encountered. It is ultra creamy and medium bodied. I have somehow put this beer down in about thirty minutes. It took no effort. I most definitely want another one.

I tasted this beer before I got my account with ratebeer, so I can’t really remember all the flavors.

The most carbonated of all trapists I have tried, Westmalle Tripel is a good blonde ale. With a nice appearance and a very large head, this beer feels like a champagne when being drunk.

I was checking how many of the Top 50 Widely Distributed Beers I had rated. Lo and behold, here was another one I’d drunk many times without ticking. But come on, I don’t rate from distant memory. So I had to go out tonight and drink a new one. Well, what do you know? It’s excellent. poured golden into the goblet with a tall, white head. Pretty. Nose of oranges and spices and booze and hops. Sweetish, orange-tinged flavor rolls into a wall of bitterness, nestled around an alcoholic center. Slighty dry and bitter finish. Warming. Nice. Serious. Available as any slut, but still hot.

straw colored and hazy, only a slight white head. not a strong nose. flavor is tremendous with hints of candy sugar and sweet malty esters. finishes with a nice hop balance and some very nice alcoholic complexity. the only negative is it finishes with a little bit of a dry sourness. overall a great tripel, one of my favorites
