Westmalle Tripel

Brewed by Brouwerij der Trappisten van Westmalle
Style: Abbey Tripel
Malle, Belgium

Bottle: Poured a golden color with a lasting white head. A cloudy gold. had a citrus aroma with a hint of yeast. Malty sweet flavor. Bitter finish with a lasting aftertaste of yeast. Great 9.5.....

Complex aroma with toch of banana, this is a golden beer with a strong Co2 sparkeling in the mouth. Strong aroma, milde fruity estery and strong hopcharacter. No diacetyl and ablanced bitterness. Long ever lasting after tast and nice perfect body.

Ths brew pours a tawny yellow color w/ a tall creamy froth. Superb head retention w/ a lasting latherous lace. Small Champagne bubbles persist the full duration. Aromas of aged citrus and candy. Medium full nectar w/ ample residual effers. The texture is that of creamy cotton. A slightly sweet style w/ a full malty backbone. Musty, citrusy sugar cubes and tropical tarts defines this one. Theres a mild peachpit bittering unit that starts midpalate and helps to balance it out. Finish is long and bittered w/ peachpit and some tangy kiwi. Alcohol is well hidden. Overall: a fantastic brew w/ good complexities. It hit’s the spot. Highly recommended.

Very pale gold color with very thick billowing white head. The beer is quite cloudy, almost opaque. The aroma is very sweet but tinted with some noble hops and a grassy aroma. The flavor is sweet bready, doughy malt, and a mild earthy hop bitterness. Alcohol is not particularly perceptible. The aroma and flavor remind me of farmhouse/saison ales I’ve had recently. The finish is a little sweet. The mouthfeel is thick but bubbly (well carbonated). An excellent beer.

This is as good as they get. A true Tripel straight from Belgium! It is more light and fruity than I would have expected but so remarkably easy to drink. Appearance: Pours an orange yellow peach color. Smell: This beer was very aromatic; filling the nose with zesty lemon, toasty malty and other sweet fruits. Taste: Soft and fruity on the palate but with a nice mix of lively spices. Very balanced very smooth, lemony hops and sweet malts just sing. Mouthfeel: Light weight but full and creamy in the mouth. Drinkability: I have yet to have a better experience with any Tripel. Hope this is helpful. Cheers!

Beer pours a pale gold color with some cloudinesss to it. Head lasts and nose is yeasty, sourdough bread. Flavor is incredibly complex: fruity (granny smith apple-like), some other fruit tones, closes spicy. Finish is bitter, but not too bitter. Beer drinks very smooth and alcohol content blends well - not very noticeable until after you have had more than 2. Stands up to food (cheese - note brie, apple). An excellent beer.

Bottle: in my mind, this is the definitive tripel, with all of the requisite characteristics: fruity and spicy nose, light-to-medium body, strong alcohol taste nicely balanced by the yeast and hop flavors, and a clean finish.

Bottled at home. Very strong but easy to drink ale. I prefer a bit lower percentage of alcohol (like Orval) but this is really perfect beer. Highly recommended.
