Belgian Tripel 8.5 º

Brouwkeet

This Belgian Tripel pours with the classic elegance expected of a Dendermonde ale. The sensory journey begins with a vibrant, spicy bouquet where peppery phenols and citrusy esters of orange peel take the lead, supported by a delicate, honey-like Pilsner malt sweetness. Despite its 8.5% ABV, the alcohol remains exceptionally well-integrated, providing a soft warmth rather than a sharp bite. The palate is defined by a firm bitterness and a remarkably dry, effervescent finish that masks its strength. It is a harmonious and sneaky ale, balancing complex yeast character with a clean, maritime-inspired refreshment.

Appearance. Deep yellow to pale gold (5-6 SRM). Brilliantly clear with a massive, long-lasting, rocky white head that leaves intricate Belgian lace on the glass. Highly effervescent.

Aroma. High intensity. Complex, seamless blend of spicy, peppery phenols and fruity esters reminiscent of lemon zest and ripe pear. Low floral and spicy hop notes. Light, grainy-sweet Pilsner malt background with a hint of honey. Alcohol is soft and perfumy.

Taste. Initial impression is a crisp, grainy-sweet malt flavor followed by a wave of spicy yeast phenols and citrusy esters. Medium-high bitterness that cuts through any initial sweetness. Firm hop bitterness in the finish. Very dry, clean aftertaste with lingering notes of clove and orange.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body, surprisingly light for the substantial gravity. Very high carbonation creating a prickly, effervescent sensation. Subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth. Smooth but crisp finish.
