The St. Bernardus Tripel presents a dramatically different face from the brewery's dark ales. At 8.0% ABV it pours a bright, hazy golden orange with a tall white head; the Saint Sixtus yeast — the brewery's defining ingredient — immediately shows its lighter register here: fresh pear, light honey, white pepper, and citrus peel on the nose, with a faint herbal complexity in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with vigorous carbonation and a clean, dry finish that makes the 8% almost invisible. Pepper and spice from the yeast build through the mid-palate, balanced by subtle sweetness and a pleasant bitter edge. Long finish with citrus and herbal notes. A superb example of the Belgian Tripel style — elegant, complex, and deceivingly drinkable.
