Description from Jason, The International Beer Collector, who kindly supplies Australia with St. Idesbald. Cheers Jason!

I think in my many visits to Belgium, I first saw the beer on a menu in the Cambrinus bar in Bruges (they stock 400+ different beers).And the second time was at Delirium Bar in Brussels.(Again, no wonder as it is Huyghes own bar which offers over 3,000 different beers!)

I dont know why they were so elusive, as I think they are very solid beers.As youd expect from a brewery of Huyghes renown.

This is their tripel, and it pretty much ticks every box on the tripel must-do list.

It has a clear, golden body with a fluffy white foam.Aroma is full of classic Belgian yeast character banana and spice, with a sweet malt backbone.And thats what it tastes like as well.A little sweet caramel malt at the start, balanced out by some earthy hops and the fruity, spicy yeast character that gives the beer a lingering dry, prickly finish.
