Une Année Brewery Tripel presents a masterfully balanced sensory experience, leading with a complex bouquet of spicy phenols and citrusy esters. Arising from a foundation of Pilsner malt, the aroma reveals notes of honey and cracked grain, intertwined with peppery and clove-like nuances typical of classic Belgian yeast. On the palate, a vibrant effervescence carries flavors of orange peel and lemon, supported by a firm bitterness and a remarkably dry, clean finish. Despite its 8.7% ABV, the alcohol remains deceptively smooth, integrated into a medium-light body that highlights the beer’s elegant attenuation and sophisticated Belgian Tripel character.
Appearance.Deep yellow to pale amber (approx. 5–7 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features a long-lasting, creamy, rocky white head that leaves characteristic Belgian lace as it slowly recedes.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity with a seamless bouquet of peppery and clove-like phenols and citrusy esters reminiscent of oranges and lemons. Light, honey-like Pilsner malt sweetness provides a supportive base, while soft, spicy alcohol and low floral hops round out the profile.
Taste.Harmonious blend of spicy phenols and fruity esters echoing the aroma. Light grainy-sweet malt flavor transitions into a firm bitterness. The finish is remarkably dry and crisp, with a lingering aftertaste of spicy yeast and subtle citrus notes. Well-attenuated and never sweet.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light to medium body, appearing lighter than the gravity suggests. High carbonation creates a lively, effervescent sensation. Alcohol provides a deceptive, soft warmth without being hot or fusel.
