Westmalle Tripel

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

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip

11.2 ounce bottle from BevMo ($5.49). Pours into Chimay goblet a golden honey amber with generous white head composed of very tiny bubbles. Aroma of spice, yeast, banana. Taste is lightly sweet and very dry with flavors of yeast, spice, banana, and citrus. Finish is also very dry with noticeable alcohol. Good, but not as good as I might have thought considering the source. But then, I wasn’t very impressed with the Westmalle dubbel either.

Al jaren mijn favoriete tripel. Goud van kleur, fruitige complexe geur en een vrij zoetige smaak met bittere afdronk. Topbier.

This dry Belgium Trappist triple is simple yet complex! It pour golden brown with a light head and a spice filled aroma. The triple tastes wheatie but bitter and the palate is pure and simple. Great all around beer!

33 cl. bottle @ home. Hazy golden with a white head. Yeasty fruity smell. Full mature yeasty fruity taste. Very balanced beer with a lot of complexity and layers of flavour. Really really good tripel.

Aroma of banana and pomaceous fruits. Opaque school bus color, very active. States best before 3/12, but these boys age well. Flavor of yeasty esters fruity booze. Oily medium body. Great traditional Belgian.

The standard by which all other Tripels are judged. Positively delightful.

Bottle. Nice head but disappears quickly. Aroma of hops and fruits. Interesting taste that changes as beer gets warmer. Fruity at first changes into a bit more spicy and dry. Very interesting beer.

Golden colour. Yeasty floral aroma. Flavour of yeast and citrus, spice. Good tripel

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden color with a perfect white head that lasts and lasts. Aroma is malt, banana, and spice. Taste is banana, biscuit, and a little bit of pear. Mouthfeel is medium and bubbly. Very good. There is a bit of alcohol warmth on the finish.
