Bottle from Marks & Spencer, Halifax. Amber-orange with a thick head and plenty of sediment. Very palatable Belgian, certainly for its strength which is subdued by the ale’s character. This is a tasty mix of pale malts, dry yeasts and dryish fruits. There’s lots of aroma and a fairly smooth texture. 750ml corked bottle.

Clear gold. Thin, tight, lasting head. Doughy. White pepper spice. Barely ripe orange. Taste is spicy dry. Soft, sweet, fruitiness. Palate is light oily. Soft carbonation. Feels quite boozy. Finish is fruity dry. I’m happy to admit I wouldn’t know a decent Tripel even if it smacked me on the arse, but I do like this...

33cl bottle from M&S Liverpool. Clear pale amber, thin beige head. Fruity esters on the aroma. But something not quite right, maybe a bit light on the malt on the aroma. In the mouth, it’s the same thing, some decent ester and rose petal fruit typical of Belgian tripels, but something not quite right with the malts. Bit lacking in hop too. Bit too syrupy. Not sure this is very good, even though there aren’t any bad/off flavours. Just a bit syrupy and doesn’t really flow.

33cl bottle. Golden amber with a compact white head; gentle carbination; typical Beligan yeast aroma, toasty and lightly spiced and also some apricot; rich buttery texture with more tropical fruit and a light prickle; warming syrupy finish - coating the throat rather than stripping it. A very pleasant example of a Tripel.
