Belgian Tripel 8 º 38 IBU

Chimay

This classic Belgian Tripel presents a luminous golden hue with a characteristically fine, snowy head. The sensory profile is defined by a sophisticated bouquet of fresh hops and monastic yeast, featuring distinctive fruity notes of muscat grape, raisins, and ripe red apples. On the palate, a soft pilsner malt sweetness is quickly balanced by a firm hop bitterness and peppery yeast phenols. The interaction between the spicy hop character and the esters creates a complex, seamless profile. Highly effervescent and remarkably dry, this beer masks its strength with elegance, leaving a clean, lingering finish of fruit and spice.

Appearance. Golden (approximately 5–7 SRM) with a slightly hazy appearance and a delicate, snowy white, long-lasting rocky head that leaves characteristic lacing.

Aroma. High intensity with a complex bouquet of muscat grapes, raisins, and ripe apples. Moderate spicy and peppery phenols integrate with a subtle floral, fresh hop character and light, grainy-sweet malt.

Taste. Initial impression of rounded malt sweetness quickly gives way to a firm bitterness. Flavors of muscat and raisin dominate the mid-palate, supported by spicy yeast esters. Finishes very dry and clean with a lingering spicy-fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body that feels surprisingly light and effervescent due to high carbonation. Alcohol warmth is noticeable but soft and well-integrated, with no astringency.
