Brouwerij De Kobold Alvader
Belgian Tripel 8 º
Alvader presents a powerful yet sophisticated take on the Belgian Tripel, embodying the rich and krachtig character promised by Brouwerij De Kobold. The sensory journey begins with a complex bouquet of peppery phenols and vibrant citrus esters reminiscent of orange zest and lemon peel. Underpinned by a soft Pilsner malt base, the palate experiences a delicate honey-like sweetness that quickly gives way to a firm, clean bitterness. Its high carbonation lends an effervescent quality, masking the 8% ABV and leading to a remarkably dry, crisp finish. This is a complex, inspirational ale where spicy yeast and floral hop nuances achieve a seamless, poetic balance.
Appearance. Deep yellow to pale amber (approx. 5-7 SRM) with brilliant clarity and high effervescence. Crowned by a long-lasting, creamy, rocky white head that leaves characteristic Belgian lace on the glass.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity with a seamless bouquet of peppery and clove-like phenols. Esters are prominent, featuring notes of orange, lemon, and a hint of ripe banana. The malt presents as a soft, grainy-sweet or honey-like background, complemented by a low, perfumy, and spicy floral hop character.
Taste. The initial impression is one of soft malt sweetness, which is quickly overtaken by a complex interplay of spicy yeast phenols and citrusy esters. Hop flavor is low to moderate with a spicy edge. A medium to high bitterness provides structure and leads into a substantial, very dry finish. The aftertaste is clean, emphasizing spicy yeast character rather than alcohol.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body, appearing lighter than the gravity suggests due to high attenuation. Highly carbonated and effervescent. Alcohol warmth is deceptive and smooth, lacking any harsh or fusel heat.
