Notes / Commercial Description:
This beer has a white, smooth and very compact head. Its pale amber colour is very characteristic revealing a distinctive maltiness. It has a rich aroma with a unique combination of aromatic hops, spices and the typical bouquet of fermentation – very fruity. Secondary fermentation in the bottle gives it a unique aroma due to the presence of yeast. St-Feuillien Triple has a very strong and exceptionally lingering taste thanks to its density and its long storage period. Whether served as a refreshing aperitif in summer or savoured during the winter months, the Triple is a connoisseur’s beer par excellence.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Pours a clear golden color with a medium top of white head that dissolves quickly. Aroma is of yeast,light bread, apples, apricots, banana, pears,citrus, herbs,peppercorn and floral hops. The flavour is sweet and fruity with dry and spicy notes and some light bready tones in the back. The finish has a slight bitterness with some floral notes and the aftertaste has a good lenght. A little to sweet but else the balance is good. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel with a medium carbonation and a medium body.
A great and enjoyable triple, but it lacks that little extra to put it with the best.

Different, but not my cup of tea. When I get a tripel, I'm in the mood for sweet, fruity and smooth. This is a bit bitter, fruity, yes, but dry too. It's like a Sapporo mixed with a tripel. Interesting, but again, not my cup of tea.

330ml bottle from Carrefour, Brussels (£1.35):
This one was a very nice triple with a pleasant sweetness in the early going from the banana before some nice floral flavours & spices started to come through alongside some nice yeast & touches of alcohol. It was very well balanced & quite easy to drink despite the strength with some bread & pale malts with a little apple & pear in there too. Perhaps not a beer that hits the heights of Westmalle Tripel but it's not too far off it either.

Clearly on the light and airy end of the tripel spectrum, and this beer does it well. Lemon grass, floral and spices like clove and pepper fill the nose, with a hint of orange rind. The taste presents a yeast forward complexion that rushes upward to a light finish with lemon and flowers, almost rose like. Very well balanced, yet buttery light.

This one has a lighter nose and less complex flavor than the Blonde Ale. Still it is very good. I get tangerines with a flash of orange blossom honey over pale malt and then well balanced hop bitterness fading into the finish. The hops and a complimentary floral and bitter orange peel flavor.

Pours a clear straw color with over a finger of head. The nose is yeasty and soapy. The flavor has a dash if citrus to go along with the yeasty taste. The finish is semi-dry.

Golden color with less than average head on pour. smell is faint. Despite the alcohol content the taste is a bit subdued. Notes of lavender and a hint of orange. slightly sweet aftertaste. Drank from a growler that was filed earlier today. A Triple that knows what it is, but makes you wonder if you'd like another one.

Pours crystal clear with minimal head, beer almost looks flat and is definitely a weak element.
Aroma is nicely spiced with a touch of citrus.
Taste is very good, real irony element to this brew, alcohol comes through in just the right quantity, and the citrus notes are there.
Feel is a touch effervescent, but overall the brew is well balanced.
This is such a nearly legendary beer, just needed a decent foamy head, and a touch less gas.
