Belgian Tripel 8.8 º
This Belgian Tripel presents a complex, seamless bouquet of spicy and fruity notes, belying its robust 8.8% ABV. Built on a clean Pilsner malt base, it offers a delicate, honey-like sweetness that quickly transitions into a peppery and clove-like phenolic character. Bright citrus esters reminiscent of orange peel and lemon zest provide a refreshing lift, while a low, floral hop presence adds further depth. The finish is remarkably dry and effervescent, characterized by a firm bitterness that ensures a clean, crisp conclusion. It is a deceptively drinkable strong ale with a sophisticated, yeast-forward profile that remains refreshing despite its strength.
Appearance. Deep yellow to pale gold with brilliant clarity. It features a long-lasting, creamy, rocky white head that leaves dense, persistent lacing on the glass as it fades. Highly effervescent.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity with a seamless blend of peppery and clove-like phenols and fruity esters of orange and lemon. The malt character is light and grainy-sweet with a touch of honey. Low spicy or floral hop notes are present.
Taste. Initial soft, grainy Pilsner malt flavors lead into a wash of peppery spice and citrusy esters. Hop bitterness is medium-high and assertive, perfectly balancing the malt. The finish is very dry and clean with a lingering spicy-fruity yeast character and no harshness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body, feeling lighter than the 8.8% ABV would suggest. High carbonation provides a prickly, effervescent sensation. Alcohol warmth is deceptive, smooth, and well-integrated.

Gemout en licht kruidig in de neus, met een subtiel (perzik) fruitig parfum. Gemout en best (perzik, abrikoos, licht exotisch) fruitig van smaak, tegelijk erg zwaar en daardoor ietwat gemout, weliswaar vanaf de afdronk gevolgd door een plotse frisheid die opduikt en die aan een niet geturfde, kruidige whisky doet denken.
