Belgian Tripel 9.1 º

ZWAAR

This adventurous Belgian Tripel marries classic monastic tradition with vibrant, contemporary infusions. The base showcases a honey-like Pilsner malt sweetness that gracefully supports the tropical lushness of mango. As the 9.1% ABV provides a deceptive, clean warmth, the infusion of ginger green tea introduces a subtle, spicy snap and a faint, tannic earthiness that complements the peppery Belgian yeast phenols. Effervescent and bright, it balances the fruit’s perceived sweetness with a dry, herbal finish. The result is a complex, aromatic ale where the exotic fruit and tea botanical notes elevate the style's inherent citrusy esters and spicy depth.

Appearance. Deep yellow to gold (5-7 SRM). Features a long-lasting, creamy, rocky white head that leaves characteristic Belgian lacing. Excellent clarity despite the fruit additions.

Aroma. High intensity bouquet featuring ripe mango and zesty ginger. Underlying notes of peppery phenols and citrusy esters are balanced by a honey-like Pilsner malt sweetness and a light, herbal, perfumy green tea character. Alcohol is soft and spicy, never solventy.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical mango followed by a grainy-sweet malt profile. The mid-palate introduces spicy ginger heat and a subtle, earthy tea note. Moderate bitterness is accentuated by a very dry finish. Yeast-derived flavors of pepper and orange zest linger alongside the fruit in a complex, well-attenuated aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body that feels surprisingly nimble for the high alcohol content. Highly carbonated and effervescent. Features a gentle alcohol warmth and a very slight tea-derived tannic structure that enhances the dry finish.
