I tried the Watou Tripel from St. Bernardus tonight. I wasn’t impressed. I’ve had several other tripels that are a whole lot better. This one pours a hazy straw color with a thick white head. The aroma is almost non-existent, but there are some slight spicy notes. The taste is decent, but kind of weak. The spices are there, some banana and some malty sweetness. The biggest issue is the body. It’s very thin and watery. There’s some yeasty breadiness to it, but nothing really that great. While it’s not my favorite tripel, the regular St. Bernardus Tripel is much better. I still prefer Tripel Karmeliet or La Fin du Monde. Those are worlds better than this one.
