Belgian Tripel 8 º

Brouwerij Van den Bossche

Pater Lieven Tripel presents a quintessential monastic profile, pouring a hazy pale amber with a persistent, thick white head. The bouquet is defined by complex yeast-driven esters, prominently featuring notes of ripe pear and white grape, layered over a backdrop of spicy, peppery phenols and delicate floral hops. On the palate, a soft, grainy malt sweetness quickly gives way to a firm, citrusy bitterness. This Belgian Tripel maintains a remarkable balance, masking its 8% strength with an effervescent, medium-light body and a crisp, dry finish that leaves a lingering fruity and spicy impression.

Appearance. Pale amber color (6 SRM) with a slight haze. Features a thick, creamy white head with excellent retention and characteristic Belgian lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Strong yeast-forward character with aromatic esters of pear, white grape, and citrus. Complemented by spicy, peppery phenols and a light, floral hop presence over a soft, grainy-sweet malt base.

Taste. Initial impression of soft malt sweetness is quickly balanced by a moderate to firm bitterness. Distinctive flavors of citrus and orchard fruits emerge, supported by spicy yeast notes. The finish is remarkably dry and fruity with a long, pleasant bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation providing a lively, effervescent sensation. Alcohol warmth is noticeable but well-integrated and deceptive, avoiding any harshness or fusel notes.
