This Belgian Tripel presents a complex sensory journey, leaning into its triple grain bill heritage to provide a substantial but balanced experience. The aroma opens with a seamless bouquet of peppery phenols and citrusy esters, reminiscent of lemon zest and dried orange peel. On the palate, a soft, honey-like Pilsner malt sweetness is quickly overtaken by a firm, continental hop bitterness and a remarkably dry finish. Despite its 8% ABV, the alcohol is well-integrated, offering only a soft, spicy warmth. Effervescent carbonation elevates the spicy yeast character, ensuring that the heavy grain usage results in a refreshing, highly drinkable ale rather than a cloying one.
Appearance.Deep yellow with brilliant clarity. Pours with a vigorous, effervescent stream that supports a long-lasting, rocky, snow-white head leaving dense lacing on the glass.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity aromatic profile featuring moderate peppery spiciness and citrusy esters of orange and lemon. Low, perfumy floral hops complement a light, grainy-sweet malt background with hints of honey and soft, spicy alcohol.
Taste.Initial impressions of soft, bready malt transition to a complex interplay of spicy clove and citrus fruit. Medium-high bitterness provides a clean counterpoint to the grain-derived power, leading to a crisp, very dry, and lingering spicy aftertaste without any heavy sweetness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body that feels lighter than the gravity suggests due to very high carbonation. Highly effervescent and crisp on the tongue, with a deceptive and gentle alcoholic warmth that avoids harshness or fusel notes.
