Belgian Tripel 8.5 º 45 IBU

Craywinckelhof

This Belgian Tripel presents a quintessential Flemish character, pouring a deep golden hue with an effervescent, rocky white head. The sensory journey begins with a complex bouquet defined by floral hops and a signature spicy yeast profile of white pepper and clove. A foundation of soft, honey-like Pilsner malt provides a light sweetness that balances the moderate fruity esters of orange peel and ripe lemon. On the palate, a deceptive warmth from the alcohol integrates with a firm, well-structured bitterness. The finish is remarkably dry, leaving a lingering, bittersweet aftertaste of orchard fruit and peppery spice that encourages another sip.

Appearance. Deep golden color (approx. 6 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features a thick, long-lasting, creamy white head that leaves significant Belgian lace on the glass. Highly effervescent with fine bubbles.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Dominated by spicy phenols resembling white pepper and clove, complemented by fruity esters of orange and pear. A light, honey-like malt sweetness supports a distinctively floral and perfumy hop character.

Taste. Initial impression of soft-sweet malt quickly transitions into a complex array of spicy and fruity notes. Peppery phenols and citrus esters are prominent. Firm bitterness provides balance, leading to a long, dry, and slightly spicy finish with a bittersweet aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body that feels lighter due to high carbonation. Very effervescent and lively on the tongue. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth without harshness or fusel heat.
