Ah, thank you.
All I could see of it was "est", which, of course, gave rise to some confusion.
Anyway, the important questions: Did you like it, and would you recommend it?
The weekend is off to a good start. Vassen is from Thursday

One of my favourite tripels; a lovely beverage in an entirely fitting glass goblet or beer chalice. Do enjoy.
Thanks for commenting Scepticalscribe!
Westmalle is a big name, and there are reasons for that indeed.
I tend to prefer quadrupels, those splendid Belgian stouts/porters, to almost anything else, but must admit that Westmalle produce one of the very best tripels to be had.
Do enjoy. And the glass is magnificent, isn't it? I have a few of those myself, wonderfully sturdy and very forgiving of one's occasionally clumsy drinking habits.
Been having a nice day, gonna be an early night I am sure

My mouth is watering, merely looking at (and admiring) those seductive and sublime images. Do enjoy.

Great selection; it looks as though you had a wonderful week-end.
A Belgian beer I have never seen before?
Looks amazing, and what a beautiful piece of glassware, an exceedingly elegant glass; I have always loved that custom in Belgium of serving a beer in a specific glass designed to best flatter the beer, in terms of taste and appearance.
Do enjoy, and let us know what the beer was actually like.
Corsendonk has been around for a while, and is amongst the well known Belgian brands.
However, I must admit this was my first one (having been more of a wine person).
You got it right about the glass shape, it really does flatter the beer. I also like the bottle as it has no paper label stuck to it, but this caligraphy-ish text engraved on the glass itself.
As for the beer, this particular one is a soft yet snappy tripel. I did enjoy it, and will definitely get more !

Thanks for the thoughtful reply.
How does it compare to the Westmalle tripel which I think is one of the better triples?
Looking for the right words here...
I'd say Westmalle is a bit "thicker", "richer" perhaps. A wee bit though.
Thanks for taking the time to reply to my query; I had suspected something of the sort.
It's that day of the week again. Is this an addictive thread or what ?
This afternoon we sat in a cosy contemporary bistro, only kilometers away from the Ter Dolen Abbey.
Obvious choice...
Their Copper Blonde Tripel is quite enjoyable, malty and fresh, well dosed bitterness. Doesn't compare to any other beer I recently had.

Whimper; Belgian beers, and Belgian beer chalices or goblets, or glasses.......waht a wonderful way to spend some of a Saturday afternoon.
