A: Hazy yellow pour into my St. Bernardus goblet with about a finger of white head. Large bubbly lacing runs down the side of the glass for only a fleeting moment before plunging back into the beer. 3.5
S: The aroma is full of clove and bananas, some booze, Belgian yeast and candied sugar. Pretty typical of a Tripel, balanced, but not overly impressive. 3.5
T: The taste is really spicy and fruity. The booze is nowhere to be found, and the typical warming alcohol feeling seems to be missing, which is really surprising considering the ABV. Very sweet, the taste seems to be just not up to par with other Tripels I’ve had. 3.5
MF: A bit over carbonated with a light body. Dry finish. 3.5
O: This was good, and a pretty decent baseline for the style, but it just didn’t blow me away. It just seemed too plain. 3.5
3.53 / 5 B
