This Belgian Tripel presents a vibrant fusion of traditional monastic complexity and modern hop-forward aromatics. The sensory experience is led by a high-intensity bouquet of ripe banana and crisp white wine esters, enhanced by bright citrus notes from the dry-hopping process. A foundational backbone of Pilsner malt provides a soft, honey-like sweetness that supports peppery and clove-like phenols. Despite its strength, the beer remains lively on the palate, where the spicy yeast character meets a firm bitterness. The result is a bold, effervescent ale that balances fruit-forward sweetness with a lingering, warming finish that highlights its citrus-hop twist.
Appearance.Deep yellow to pale amber (5–7 SRM) with good clarity. Features a big, dense, and creamy white head that exhibits excellent retention and leaves characteristic Belgian lacing as it fades.
Aroma.High intensity featuring complex, seamless layers of ripe banana, orange citrus, and white wine esters. Moderate spicy, peppery phenols are well-integrated with a low, grainy-sweet malt character and a distinctive floral, citrusy dry-hop punch.
Taste.Initial impression of honey-like malt sweetness followed by a wave of spicy, peppery yeast and citrus peel. Moderate to firm bitterness balances the malt profile. While traditionally dry, this version leans into a sweet finish derived from pale malts and alcohol, leaving a lingering fruity and spicy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, creamy texture. Highly carbonated and effervescent on the tongue. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present without being harsh or fusel.
