This Belgian Tripel presents a vibrant amber hue with a distinctive brilliance attributed to the addition of oats. A dense, meringue-like white head crowns the glass, releasing a complex bouquet of spicy phenols and bright citrus esters. The palate follows with a rich, rounded malt foundation characterized by a subtle, sweetish honey-like quality that transitions into notes of lemon and orange. Despite its medium-high body, the beer maintains a high level of carbonation and a clean, dry finish, ensuring it remains surprisingly light on its feet. The integration of spicy yeast character and firm bitterness makes for a sophisticated and drinkable strong ale.
