Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
From the St. Bernardus Brewery website: “St.
Bernardus Tripel is a traditional abbey ale brewed in the classic
"Triple" style of Belgium's best Abbey Ales. It has a blond to pale
amber color with a wonderful head, slightly sweet aroma and the orangey-grassy
flavors of hops in the finish. Wonderfully drinkable and surprisingly light.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours a cloudy golden color with a frothy
white head with spotty lacing.
Aroma: Floral,
sweet aromas of banana, plum, peaches and apple, Belgian yeast, candi sugar and
caramel.
Taste: Sweet
malts, candied dried fruits, Belgian yeast and candi sugar, fruity, floral hops,
banana and spice.
Overall: Way too
easy to drink, St. Bernardus Tripel really is a world class Tripel. At 8% ABV it is a
little boozier than the ABV would indicate (which isn’t a bad thing,
really). Is it my favorite Tripel?
Probably not. Would I drink it again and
recommend it? Absolutely! As I said, this is world class!
Cheers!
