St-Feuillien Triple

◎ Appearance

Pale amber in color, a characteristic that signals the beer's pronounced malt backbone despite its Tripel classification. The head is white and exceptionally compact, clinging to the glass with fine retention. Clarity is bright, with steady carbonation evident throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with aromatic hops and peppery spice, layered beneath strongly fruity fermentation aromas—ripe pear and apricot dominate. A distinctive yeasty note emerges from bottle refermentation, adding complexity and depth to the aromatic profile without overwhelming the hop character.

◐ Taste

The palate is full and powerful, with honeyed malt sweetness at the entry that carries the weight of high gravity and extended maturation. Stone fruit flavors—pear and apricot—interweave with peppery spice through the mid-palate, leading to a dry, bitter finish that prevents any cloying impression.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with residual bitterness and peppery spice persisting on the palate. The aftertaste remains clean and sustained, a testament to the beer's structural balance and extended conditioning.

Serve at 10–13°C in a goblet. The yeast character and carbonation are the stars — cold would suppress both.

The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
