Chimay Tripel (White)
Had on tap in a goblet. Pretty similar to the experience from the bottle - except I found the taste slightly less 'intense' in comparison. Still great, to be sure - but I think I actually like it better from the bottle. Color is a pleasant hazy golden with bright, fluffy white head and moderate lacing. Head eventually settles into a film across the top. Nose is definitely fruity. Apples/bananas were my first thought. Perhaps a bit of floral. This is where my experience changed some with tap v. bottle. The same notes show up, but they seem more blended and subdued. Minimal aftertaste and no bitterness. Mouthfeel is excellent. Very smooth and creamy. Appropriate carbonation. Medium bodied. Excellent brew. Drinkability is superb. Although I prefer it from the bottle, it's still one of the best tripels around, regardless of serving type.
