Belgian Tripel 7 º 40 IBU

Monasterio de San Pedro de Cardeña

This Spanish interpretation of a Belgian Tripel presents a vibrant light amber body crowned by an abundant, persistent white foam. The sensory journey begins with a fine, complex bouquet of spicy yeast phenols and bright citrus esters. On the palate, a soft foundation of grainy-sweet malts supports distinctive herbal and fruity notes, reflecting the Trappist tradition. Despite its strength, the beer remains highly drinkable with an effervescent mouthfeel and a long, characteristically dry finish. The secondary fermentation in the bottle enhances its refinement, delivering a balanced profile where firm bitterness and floral hop cues intertwine seamlessly with spicy, peppery fermentation characteristics.

Appearance. SRM 5–7; light amber to deep gold. Abundant, creamy, rocky white head with excellent retention and characteristic Belgian lacing. Brilliantly clear with visible effervescence.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Complex bouquet of spicy, peppery phenols and citrusy esters reminiscent of orange peel and lemon. Low but distinctive herbal hop aroma. Background malt is light and grainy-sweet with a hint of honey.

Taste. Initial impression of soft malt sweetness followed quickly by a wave of fruity esters and spicy yeast character. Herbal and floral hop flavors are present and well-integrated. Medium-high bitterness that leads into a long, dry, and slightly spicy finish. No harshness or heavy alcohol presence.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a remarkably light, airy texture for its strength. High carbonation creates a lively, effervescent prickle on the tongue. Subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth without being hot.
