Arend Tripel

Bottle, 75cl. It’s almost clear in the glass, with a golden color and a finger-thick head sitting on top. There’s some alcohol in the aroma, with fruits, some spices and white sugar soon chiming in for the heavy work. It’s quite sweet in the mouth, with some warming qualities. Medium body, drying up towards the end. There’s also pale malts, a generic fruityness and some lemon in the flavor. A bit low on bitterness maybe, but it gets stronger in the finish, where the warmth is quite present. In a pleasant way though. A beer that feels quite simple in a way, but actually is really nice. 091230

Bottle. Golden- orange colour with a white head. Aroma is yeast, spices, fruit. Flavour is sweet, yeast, spices, hop, malt. Nice beer.

Verdammt! explosively agressive gusher with a timed delay - took me quite by surprise, and now my socks and trousers are wet, not to mention that the floor also got some. what beer is left is clear orange, smooth white head. appearance penalty points for getting my feet wet. dry cellary and yellow fruity aroma , smells good.(jokes about my feet now smelling good will be ignored). also slightly boozy. flavor is sweet as in sweet apple, then yellow fruits (dry versions of peach, pear, orange, pineapple all mixed up) yeast and what almost tastes like wheat. discreetly balanced by bitter hops (grapefruit peel). [re-rate apr 2011. Non-gushing version, tasted somewhat better, quite complex. aroma anise spices, lkemongrass, faint nutty, flavor yellow fruits, anise, brown sugar, malts. 2,8,8,3,16]

Tap at ZBF 2010. Lighter than the Speciale, this one had aroma of white pepper and flavor of licorice & almonds. Bitter finish. Nice.

330 ml bottle. Hazy golden body with a thin, collapsing head. Aroma is mild fruity with notes of honey and spices. Flavor is sweet, spicy and a hint of honey in the finish. Quite straightforward tripel

Bottle from Beers of Europe, consumed 20-12-09 Pours very light amber, quite hazy with a fast diminishing white head. Touch of sour fruitiness on the nose. some yeast, some alcohol and spice also showing. Much of the above is also present in the mouth, with warmth from the alcohol, touch fruitier than expected a little bitterness. It fine but no great shakes. A6 A3 F6 P3 Ov12 3.0

Bottle. Cloudy bronze coloured beer with a strong head. The aroma is sweetly spiced and the flavour is fizzy and sweetly spiced with a lighlty bitter finish. Overall an average triple, quite sweet.

12th May 2008. Unusual tripel in as much as it seems malty more than anything. Virtually none of the expected tripel dry fruitiness. Just a little sourness and a bitterish finish.

Bottled 750ml (BS, BB 02/2010). A bit leaked bottle. Hazy orange color, small white head. Fruity, yeasty and dusty aroma. Crisp carbonatiion. Yeasty fruity (peach marmalade), a bit spicey and alcoholic flavor. Same dusty yeastyness in the flavor than in the nose. Quite simple tripel.
