Augustijn Ale
This is yet another Belgian "Tripel." As you can see, when poured it has a nice hazy, golden-straw color to it. Smelling it reveals hints of caramel, malt, and an assortment of citrus fruit flavors. I would say it is medium-bodied compared to other "Tripels" and has moderate carbonation. Tasting reveals lemon, coriander, spicy hops, caramel, and apricots. With it's medium-body, I would say this is much easier to drink in large quantities than a lot of other Belgian style beers, but at 8.0% ABV that can be dangerous. Similar beers that I have tried include: Avery White Rascal, Mc Chouffe, New Belgium Tripel, and St. Bernardus Tripel. Overall this is a quality beer, but the citrus flavors were a bit overpowering and the carbonation was too much for it to rank among my favorites...Aroma: 8/10
Appearance: 4/5
Taste: 7/10
Palate: 3/5
Overall: 13/20
