The Durham Brewery Bedes Rioja 2021
Belgian Tripel 9.5 º
Bedes Rioja 2021 presents a sophisticated evolution of the Belgian Tripel, where the traditional spicy yeast profile meets the refined elegance of Rioja barrel aging. Bright citrus notes of orange merge with lush esters of peach and apricot, creating a complex fruity core. The wood influence introduces distinct vinous grape and subtle oak notes that provide a dry, sophisticated counterpoint to the beer’s inherent richness. While maintaining a firm peppery spice, the finish is notably dry and elevated by a light tannic structure. This is a powerful, full-bodied celebration of Belgian tradition and viticultural influence, offering a seamless blend of monastic brewing and winemaking artistry.
Appearance. Deep golden to light amber (approx. 7 SRM) with excellent clarity and a persistent, creamy, rocky off-white head that leaves intricate Belgian lacing as it slowly recedes.
Aroma. High intensity bouquet featuring spicy, peppery phenols and a diverse ester profile of orange peel, ripe peach, and apricot. The Rioja barrel influence adds a vinous, red grape character alongside subtle toasted oak and a soft, honey-like malt sweetness.
Taste. A complex interplay of spicy yeast and stone fruit flavors, specifically peach and apricot, leading into a mid-palate of orange citrus. The Rioja aging contributes a sophisticated vinous tartness and dry wood character. It possesses a firm bitterness that transitions into a very dry, lingering finish with a subtle peppery aftertaste and no cloying sweetness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy texture, featuring high carbonation that provides a lively, effervescent prickle. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, reflecting its 9.5% strength, while the barrel aging adds a very light tannic astringency.
