We recently had the St. Bernardus Tripel from Brouwerij St. Bernardus. We are big fans of Belgian dubbels and tripels and surprisingly we have never had this before.
At only $4 (from New Beer Distributors) for the 11.2oz bottle (it's usually higher priced), the 8% ABV tripel is definitely a winner.

The beer has a yeasty, bready frothy head on pour, pale orange almost amber in color, slight malty sweetness, a little yeast and ester funk, good hoppiness and a medium to long finish. The orange-citrus component made it kind of refreshing, not heavy or overwhelming.
We'll have to try some of the other St. Bernardus beers, including the Prior 8 Dubbel and Abt 12 Quad. Cheers!
