St. Bernadus Tripel (8% ABV)

A solid amber-orange in colour, with a well-formed head. Crisp, green fruit and freshly-baked bread on the nose. The flavour profile isn't as fully developed as the nose might suggest, but sappy, grass-like tastes with hints of spice and malt dominate with just a grind or two of that typical Tripel peppery nose.

Not so much a finish as a disappearance, and whilst the ABV is a point off Trappist-style Tripels, the alcohol is nowhere to be seen, which would make this a naughty brew to spend the evening with.Definite potential to lead you astray, I'd say.
