St. Bernardus Tripel is a traditional abbey beer that follows the classic tripel style. In the Watou region a tripel is often referred to as a ‘Bernadetje’. A fine tribute that pays homage to Bernadette, the youngest daughter of Evariste Deconinck, the man to whom the monks of Abbaye Sainte Marie du Mont des Cats sold their Belgian property in 1934. St. Bernardus Tripel is a blonde beer with an inviting golden hue and an impressive, velvety-soft head of froth. EBC 13.

33cl bottle pours a murky, dark gold with plenty of sticky, white head. Nose has pineapple core and some straw, dried grass and dried herbs, something yeasty or dusty. Flavor definitely has some Brett B, dried grist, straw, candy, pineapple, some dried citrus peel, some golden raisin. Finishes off dry, full bodied. Classic.

Bottle from Belgium via Mattias. A wit leaning tripel aroma. Bright yellow colour. A tasty tripel bringing in usual flavours, with a high carbonation finish and a slightly too strong boozy bitterness. It mellowed the more I drank it and was a pleasure to drink. They are right about the sweet and sour - tasting both fresh and mature.

A lightly hazy dark golden, hazier on second pour. Quite big white head (actually not that much for a tripel), dense, with good enough persistence and lacing. Nicely complex and vivid aroma. Fruity notes (peach most prominent) upfront, with a lot of underlying notes: a white bread/dough base, slight sugar, honey, chamomille, hints of earthiness and spiciness. Taste notes follow the aroma, though maybe with a bit less brightness/definition. Medium to high sweetness, quite low bitterness, but still in good enough balance. A bit of warming feel, but perfectly hidden alcohol. Medium body, medium to high carbonation (small-bubbled carbonation), resulting in a lively mouthfeel. Overall, a well made tripel that went down super easily for the style, but somehow didn't leave that much of an impression.
