Belgian Tripel 9 º 32 IBU

Oriel Beer

This Belgian Tripel offers an aromatic fusion of traditional esters and exotic botanicals. A vibrant bouquet of yuzu citrus and floral Ceylon tea layers over a classic base of Pilsner malt, evoking notes of cereal and wildflower honey. The yuzu provides a tart, citrusy brightness that enlivens the spicy, peppery phenols of the Belgian yeast. Earthy Continental hops provide a grounding balance to the tropical fruit notes. On the palate, a delicate malt sweetness transitions into a complex, tangy finish, supported by a deceptive yet present alcohol warmth characteristic of its strength. It is an ambrosial, highly effervescent experience.

Appearance. Deep yellow to pale gold (6 SRM) with a long-lasting, creamy, rocky white head that leaves characteristic lacing. Brilliant clarity with high effervescence.

Aroma. High intensity bouquet featuring significant spicy phenols (pepper and clove) and moderate fruity esters (lemon and orange). The yuzu adds a sharp citrus edge, while Ceylon tea provides fine floral and subtle earthy notes over a light, honey-like malt background.

Taste. Initial malt sweetness of cereals and honey is quickly balanced by the tart, citrusy flavor of yuzu. Firm hop bitterness and tea tannins provide structure. Complex fermentation character includes peppery yeast and tropical fruit esters, finishing very dry with a sweet and tangy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied but surprisingly light on the palate. High carbonation creates an effervescent, prickly sensation. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, consistent with its high gravity.
