This Belgian Tripel offers a lively sensory experience, opening with a complex bouquet of peppery phenols and bright citrus esters reminiscent of orange zest and lemon peel. A delicate base of Pilsner malt provides a soft, honey-like sweetness that supports the yeast-driven spice without becoming heavy. Effervescent and bright gold in the glass, the palate delivers a firm bitterness that transitions into a clean, remarkably dry finish. Subtle floral hop notes and a hint of soft alcohol warmth underscore its character, celebrating the brewery’s anniversary with a balance of traditional monastic elegance and refreshing drinkability.
Appearance.Deep gold to pale amber (approx. 5-7 SRM). Brilliant clarity with an effervescent rise of bubbles. Maintains a thick, rocky, long-lasting white head that leaves significant lacing.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity. Prominent peppery and clove-like phenols blend with citrusy esters of orange and a hint of ripe pear. Low floral hop aroma and a clean, grainy-sweet Pilsner malt backbone with a touch of honey.
Taste.Initial grainy-sweet malt gives way to a complex profile of spicy phenols and lemony esters. Hop bitterness is moderate but assertive, keeping the beer from being sweet. The finish is very dry and crisp with a lingering spicy-fruity yeast character.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body, appearing lighter than the gravity suggests due to high attenuation. High carbonation provides a prickly, effervescent mouthfeel. Subtle, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated.
