St. Bernardus is a Belgian brewery located in Watou, Belgium. Long considered a Trappist Brewery, St. Bernardus creates truly amazing Belgian style ales and is renowned worldwide as such. The St. Bernardus Tripel is an Abbey Tripel at 8% ABV. Abbey Tripel's are typically strong, rich, yeasty and spicy. St. Bernardus should be no exception.
The pour is yellowish orange with a nice twofingers or so of creamy off white head. Aroma is yeast up front with lots of spicy notes. Orange and lemon rind with subtle hints of coriander, cinnamon and cloves. The first taste is beautiful yeast sublimely blended with the spicy notes. Sharp alcohol bite, but requiem comes quickly as the rich flavour takes over. In general, I can say that this is certainly one of the best beers in the world and deserves all the accolades and attention that it gets. Though not the best Abbey Tripel or Belgian Style beer out there (Rochefort 10 or Chimay Blue if I must tell you), it is very drinkable and delicious. I suggest that anyone who can obtain this beer should try it. Definately A+.
A+
