#133 Watou(St. Bernardus) - Tripel



This beer is also made by the St. Bernardus brewery, but doesn't carry the name directly on the bottle. Watou is a town in Belgium, famous for having a statue of a brewer in one of the cities main squares.

The beer has strong fruity esters to the aroma, nice apple smells. The beer is a honey color, and a little cloudy. The foam is thick and white, with lots of small bubbles, and good head retention.

The beer has a honey flavor and sweetness. There is also some fruit flavors and hints of clove, but the honey taste is the most pronounced. There is a dry bitter finish to the beer, but not overly bitter just a hint of bitterness. The mouthfeel is really smooth and foamy, it is a little like drinking all foams.

I like this beer a lot more than the last few beer I have drank. This is smooth without any harsh malt flavors. The honey taste is a welcome surprise, and the mouth feel is so nice and smooth.
