St. Bernardus Tripel
Br. St. Bernard
Watou, Belgium
330ml bottle
8% abv
Back in September 2011 I reviewed a big bottle of this
Tripel and it was just plain old bad. Since
I just bought a variety pack of 6, 8, 12 and Triple St. Bernardus I guess it is
time to do a re-review.
Take this beer out of your fridge a half hour before you
plan to open it.
Appearance: hazy golden orange body with a nice two finger
head. A little sediment on the bottom of
the bottle so, make sure to swirl the bottle with the last inch of ale.
Aroma: light overall, light fruity, good Belgian sugar and
yeast; as the ale warms up the tropical notes start to come into focus, it is
reminding me of pineapple/banana cotton candy.
Flavors: sweet malts and a touch of floral hops; there is a
tart lemon/apple bite; the pineapple/banana cotton candy on the nose transfer
to the taste;
Mouthfeel: a fine fizzy carbonation feel, medium-full body
weight, the tart note controls the sweetness,
To the Point: a very nice Tripel, I’ll take Piraat over this
all day.
