Belgian Tripel 10 º 25 IBU

FdS! Beer

This Belgian Tripel offers a sophisticated twist on the classic monastic style, presenting a complex profile inspired by the essence of Porto. The nose is immediately greeted by intense esters of dried apricot and fragrant Moscatel grape, evoking the aromatic complexity of fortified wine while remaining grounded in spicy, peppery phenols. A delicate honey-like malt backbone supports these fruit-forward notes, leading into a palate where firm bitterness and high carbonation ensure a characteristically dry, crisp finish. Despite its potent 10% strength, the alcohol remains elegantly integrated, making for a deceptively drinkable and irreverent ale with a lingering fruity aftertaste.

Appearance. Deep yellow to pale amber in color with brilliant clarity. It supports a long-lasting, creamy, rocky white head that leaves characteristic lacing on the glass. Highly effervescent with visible rising carbonation.

Aroma. High intensity bouquet featuring a complex blend of moderate peppery and clove-like phenols alongside pronounced fruity esters of apricot and Moscatel grape. A low, perfumy hop character and light, grainy-sweet, honey-like malt provide a supportive base, while the alcohol presents a soft, vinous quality.

Taste. The initial impression is a seamless combination of spicy yeast and rich fruitiness, specifically apricot and sweet grape. Malt flavors are soft and slightly grainy, quickly overtaken by a medium-high bitterness. The fermentation character is dominant yet balanced, concluding in a very dry finish with a lingering, spicy-fruity aftertaste and no cloying sweetness.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a lighter texture than the gravity suggests. Very high carbonation provides an effervescent, scrubbing sensation. The alcohol presence is deceptive but yields a noticeable, well-integrated warmth without being harsh or solventy.
