Westmalle Trappist Tripel

Ahh it’s nice to finally get back to writing reviews.? I got some weird bug or food poisoning last week.? Took me out for 3 days.? Then something weird happen.? I really didn’t want to drink any beer.? It could of been that the last thing I did before I got sick was drink three Oskar Blues Dale’s Pale Ales.? The mind plays weird tricks on you.? But I’m back in the saddle again and for my first review back from the dead I bring you one of the more fantastic beers I’ve had in a long time.? Westmalle Trappist Tripel.

I got this beer a while ago and somehow it made its way into the back of the fridge. So it might not been the freshest bottle out there.? But that didn’t seem to matter.? This is now my favorite Tripel of all time (Not that I’m a Tripel expert or anything).? What we have here is a badass Tripel.?

The color this one pours is a light orange, almost yellow.? It had spotty lacing and a very fluffy and uneven head.? The smell on this one is what gets you first.? It’s full of fruit, alcohol, yeast, and spice.

It has a nice fruity taste up front.? Some banana, apples, and oranges.? There’s also a touch of honey. Yeast and candi sugar.? Grassy and floral hops also make a huge appearance. In the end you get a big kick of spice.??All throughout you get a strong alcohol taste that burns your mouth and throat.? Its medium bodied, carbonation stings your lips, and it has a little bit of roughness about it.?

This is now on my list as one of my favorite beers of all time.? I wish I didn’t take this long to give it a try.? It’s a badass Tripel from start to finish.? Everything is big and doesn’t hold back.? Those monks can make some beer.
