Tongerlo Prior Tripel
Tongerlo Prior is a full-bodied beer with fruity notes that develop into a spicy and slightly flowery bitterness of hops. An authentic abbey ale, the age-old tradition of the White Canons of Tongerlo lives on in this officially recognised Belgian abbey ale. Re-fermentation in the bottle gives this beer a more intense taste and aroma as well as a longer shelf life. Tongerlo Prior was chosen as the best European blond abbey/trappist ale in the 2011 World Beer Awards.

Tastes sour
Old rating from 06-09-16 - Brought back from my Belgium road trip last year. Poured from a 330ml bottle, a slightly hazy amber colour with a white foamy head. Aromas of fruits including orange & pineapple as well as grains, malts & yeast. Tastes of orange, pineapple, apple, grapes, light wine as well as hints of citrus, grains & spice. Aftertaste has a fruity alcoholic kick with a fair amount of bitterness. Overall a decent triple, enjoyable, but no more than mid range in quality.
Mousse non persistante, on ne sent pas trop le goût d’alcool lors de la dégustation. Bière qui a du corps et une jolie couleur or.
Bottle online from Beerhouseshop.be.
Pours a hazy golden colour with a huge throthy white head. Aromas of bananas, cloves, apples, pears, yeast and hints of bubblegum and spice. Taste has more of the same notes from the aroma, lots of peppery spice and more bubblegum to go with the fruity notes. Some floral tones. Nice balance between sweet and bitter on the finish. Medium to full body with a smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. One of the nicer tripels i have tried. Very nice.
Gyllene klar vätska med en rejäl skumkrona. Örtig, brödig och jästig arom. Smakerna bråkar lite i munhålan, lite som flera bröder där personligheterna försöker smälta samman. Allt som allt en för stilen god öl.
Not terrible but bit flat, even a Leffe has more taste
Bottle. Cloudy orange with a huge and royally beautiful white head. Aroma of yeast, wheat and citrus fruits. Taste of wheat, lemons, yeast, oranges, grains, some herbs and spices plus bubblegum. Dry and moderate bitter finish. Medium to strong carbonation. Nice one.
Donkergeel bier met een ruime witte schuimkraag. Zoet van aanzet, met de gist er bij vind ik het beter.
Iets bitter met zachte smaak
Aromă bine pronunțată, cu fructe galbene caramelizate, ierburi medicinale și de câmp, ceva flori uscate și drojdii belgiene. Gust intens și pe alocuri înțepător (carbonatare destul de pronunțată), dulce și cu note de zahăr brun diluat, ușor siropos, vag condimente și ceva ierburi uscate pe fundal. Bună-bună!
Sweet tripel
Pours a hazy golden color, nose is meaty, toffee, caramel, taste is sweet, malty, caramel
330ml bottle from Moreton Beer Cellar? Aroma of grassy shrub, banana candy, mushy overripe plum and banana fruit, white pepper, clove, cordial and galangal. Burnished gold with a soft undulating foam becoming a slick. Slightly hot and honeyed with menthol, elastic and dead yeast mingling with more approachable clove and banana esters, green herb citrus, grass and pepper, lemon jelly and nougat notes flecked with incense. Not as complex as it sounds- almost a strong lager vibe. It’s perfectly serviceable but like so many, not worth remembering or resampling.
Nice head. Fruity, slightly spicy smell. Full body, slightly floral, quite hoppy, spicy taste. Some bitterness. Warming. Distant hint of bananas in the aftertaste. Slightly dry finish. A good, but not a great tripel.

6 months over due rate when i drank
Aroma of wheat and mild alcohol
Nice lasting head with a clear colour of piss(not a very nice colour)
Taste of wheat, very pleasant
Mild carbonation with watery mouthfeel
Nice beer
White head, light carbonation. Smell of wheat and orange. Taste of hops and a hint of dark chocolate in the aftertaste.
Golden, slightly hazy, with a thin white head that dilapidates quickly. Mild yeasty aroma. Taste is quite a hefty booze, with a very distant bitterness.
En copa, cerveza dorada oscura, con una fina capa de espuma blanca. Aroma marcado a cereales, caramelo, especias, plátano maduro, pera, pan, grano y levadura. En boca, textura acuosa y un poco espesa, de carbonatación media y amargor suave. Sabor intenso a cereales y caramelo, con mayor presencia de plátano y grano, pan, y un fondo de levadura. Una Tripel realmente buena, con todos los elementos de este estilo. Muy recomendable, aunque segundos después del trago se noten bastante sus 9% en garganta.
Lekker, fris van smaak. Niet te koud drinken.
De bitterheid valt mee. In de verte een beetje.
Lekkere triple, zoet, kruidig, mooie schuim kraag. Heel licht bitter, wat niet lang blijft hangen
Triple bien belge, épicée, maltée, houblonnée. Coriandre, fruits, houblons, alcool et sucre (un peu trop). Pas mauvais du tout mais pas révolutionnaire.

Frugtagtig duft. Infiltreret øl. Frisk og frugtagtig øl, med en fin afbalanceret co2, som er perlende.
Bottiglia. Molto bella dal punto di vista estetico, biondo oro, bel cappuccio di schiuma bianco panna compatta a bolle medie e un bel perlage abbondante da tripel di razza. Da manuale. Anche il resto però è talmente da manuale da risultare quasi manieristico: l'aroma fruttato di lievito, fiori, uva bianca, non è molto intenso e non lascia alcun particolare ricordo di se; in bocca è tutto come dev'essere, col dolce abboccato che vira allo speziato e si chiude in un finale secco ed erbaceo, ma non ricordo nessuna nota particolare o caratteristica che mi abbia stupito. Insomma una tripel assolutamente ben congegnata, ma mediocre, che fa bene il compitino ma non osa.
Almost clear deep gold, big off-white head. Aroma: humble fruity notes - apricots? Sharp spicy phenolic notes. Medium sweetness with a honey fruit profile, spicy bitterness with a good deal of alcoholic head. Simplistic and straightforward, still decent.
Lik westmalle tripel, lite mer spritig och tunn
Bottle. Pours golden. Aroma and flavor are Belgian yeast, sweet, bitter, massive sugar, fruits, not much of the promised hops. Okish.
