Westmalle Tripel is a clear, golden yellow Trappist beer that undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle (9,5% alcohol). It is a complex beer with a fruity aroma and a nice nuanced hop scent. It is soft and creamy in the mouth, with a bitter touch carried by the fruity aroma. An exceptional beer, with a great deal of finesse and elegance. And with a splendid long aftertaste. he Westmalle Tripel is indeed called the “mother of all tripels”. This type of beer was first brewed in Westmalle abbey in 1934 when the new brewing hall came into use. The current formula has stayed practically unchanged since 1956, thus more than 50 years. his beer is generally served in 33 cl bottles, precisely the volume of the accompanying glass goblet. The bottles are sold individually, in handy packs of six or in crates of 24 bottles. And of course this beer is served in the better horeca outlets.

From bottle at a tasting at Bar & Cigar. Pours almost clear golden with a large, white head. Mildly fruity with the classical Belgian yeast influences, malt and hints of spices and hops. Medium+ body with a slightly soft carbonation. Medium sweet and quite flavourful with a light acidity and bitterness in the finish. Very well balanced and quite delicious.

Pours a huge frothy white head and has a hazy golden appearance. Very thick lacing. Lively carbonation. Aromas are mostly yeast, malts and orange peel. Flavours are big yeasty and spice notes. Also lots of citrusy and some hints of herbal hops. Full bodied mouthfeel. Quite a lot of bitterness on the palate. Good stuff.

Pours a golden amber with a massive 3 finger head that takes its sweet ass time. Tornado of carbonation in the bottom of the glass. Lots of lacing. Aroma is sweet and fruity, think honey crisp apples. Slightly spicy hints to this one as well. First taste has spice to it along with a strong hint of what can be described as the aftertaste of christmas cookies. Taste is slightly mettalic also along with its bitterness. Finishes off with taste continuing along with a slight dryness. Also ha s awarm burn as it settles in the gut. This is a damn good looking beer, also very solid. Not a beer for those of us with facial hair.
