Pours hazy yellow golden with enormous head and fine lacing. taste is bitter and spicy with fruity notes. alcohol is noticeable but not unplesant . the best trippel imho.

330 ml bottle. Poored in a trappist glass, hazy orange with a cotton head. Aroma is pear, nuts, grape fruits. First sip is extremely delightful, with a caramel taste, a slight bitter near the end. At first it’s fruity and then it becomes spicy and changes to a roasty and bittery taste, but Texture is oily, feels light considering the alcohol level. The complexity is here, fantastic and delicious beer!

Westmalle Tripel has a thin, white head and a hazy, bubbly, yellow-gold appearance, with a few tiny, white specks suspended throughout. The aroma is of full, strong, pungent, sweet bread, with a slight sourness. Taste is of stinging yeast, peppery, banana, sweet bread, a good amount of harsh bitterness, and sugar. Mouthfeel is medium to heavy, and one really does pick up the alcohol with this- think brandy. Westmalle Tripel finishes mostly dry, biting, and wonderful. A challenging, outstanding beer. RJT

Bottle. Bes before date of May ’14. Drank June ’13. Pours with a huge lasting rocky white head and leaves good lace. Very clear with lively bubbles. The aroma is not so strong but is soft light grain, a little dusty yeast with the slightest funk, not ripe pears, light spice. The flavor is very dry and bitter with a long bitter clean finish. The fruits and spices and light sweetness are not dominat but in good balance. The alcohol isn’t while there isn’t heavy or intrusive. A phenomenal and highly drinkable big beer. Just perfect.

Color beetwen yellow and orange with a lots of yeasts elements. Medium fluffy head, but quickly disappearing. Aroma of yeasty banana and fruity esters with alcohol on background. Taste is malty and spicy. After that appears dry notes. Nice body. Decent trappist beer.
