This Belgian Tripel, a collaboration from the heart of Holland, offers a vibrant sensory journey. It pours a brilliant deep yellow with a persistent, rocky white head. The aroma is a complex tapestry of peppery phenols and citrusy esters, reminiscent of orange peel and fresh lemon, supported by a delicate, honey-like Pilsner malt foundation. On the palate, a crisp, hoppy freshness from Continental hops interplays with a medium bitterness and spicy yeast character. Despite its 8% ABV, the beer remains exceptionally drinkable with a medium-light body and an effervescent, bone-dry finish that invites another sip.
Appearance.Deep yellow to pale amber; brilliant clarity. Topped with a long-lasting, creamy, rocky white head that leaves dense Belgian lacing.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity. Complex bouquet of spicy, peppery, and light clove-like phenols balanced by fruity esters of orange and lemon. Low floral and spicy hop notes accompany a soft, grainy-sweet Pilsner malt character.
Taste.Initial soft malt sweetness followed by spicy phenols and citrus esters. Hop flavor is low but provides a fresh, herbal character. Medium-high bitterness leads into a notably dry, crisp finish with a lingering spicy-fruity aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light to medium body, feeling lighter than its gravity suggests. High, effervescent carbonation. Alcohol is well-integrated, providing a very soft, subtle warmth without any harshness.
