Belgian Tripel 8 º

Bierbrouwerij De Eem

Kranig presents as a quintessential Belgian Tripel, balancing robust strength with an elegant, effervescent lift. The sensory profile is led by a complex bouquet of peppery phenols and vibrant fruity esters reminiscent of ripe orange and lemon zest, driven by a traditional Belgian yeast strain. A base of Pilsner malt provides a delicate honey-like sweetness that never lingers, quickly overtaken by a firm, floral hop bitterness. Its deceptive body and high carbonation create a crisp, dry finish that masks the significant alcohol content, leaving a lingering impression of spice and sun-ripened fruit on the palate.

Appearance. Radiant deep gold (6 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a towering, rocky white head that displays exceptional retention and leaves dense, intricate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity with a seamless blend of peppery and clove-like phenols. Pronounced fruity esters of orange, pear, and a hint of ripe banana. The malt backbone is light and grainy-sweet with a touch of honey, complemented by a low perfumy hop presence.

Taste. Initial soft malt sweetness is rapidly balanced by moderate spicy phenols and citrus fruit flavors. Mid-palate reveals a firm bitterness that carries through to a very dry, clean finish. Aftertaste is characterized by lingering spice and a subtle, floral hop note.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body that belies its 8% ABV. Highly carbonated and effervescent, providing a prickly sensation on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is smooth and well-integrated, never harsh.
