Brugse Tripel

Formerly brewed at Brouwerij Palm
Style: Abbey Tripel
Steenhuffel, Belgium

Nice warm-golden beer with clear orange shine and small creamy head. Rich nose with good freshness. In the nose you can notice hints of malts,(babellutten)= buttercaramels, almonds, peaches, sweet crumblecakes and some spices. It has a concistent mouthfeel with a fine aftherglow. this beer has a good maltyness with a fine touche of cane-sugar, some soft spices, a nice fruity accent and a fine bitterness in the end. A little on the sweet side and lack of freshness in the taste.

Dark golden, off white head with laces. Yeasty aroma. Good carbonation. Malty sweet flavour with herbal spices and a touch of hops.

A-HA! I’ve finally found the beer I had at the Brick Store Pub in Decatur celebrating GA’s exceeding 6% law!
Looks like a tripel, smells like a cross between a cider and a lambic (sour and dried apple). The "bready" yeast appears in the beginning, and is overwhelmed by the sour fruit in the finish. This isn’t a classic tripel, but squarely belgian.

A deep orange color with a moderate white head. The aroma is citrus, molasses, and alcohol. The flavor is slightly spicy with a funky sour citrus flavor and a bit of rotten apples and honey mixed in. This has some lambic like qualities and doesnt seem to be like any Tripel Ive had before. The aftertaste is dusty and interesting. A nice beer anywho.

Orange, cloudy - nice white head. Lotsa floaties. Flowery sweet aroma. Musty basement flavors. Very fruity - notes of apples, cherry and blueberry. Finishes rather earthy and winey.

Bottled, at Relais Bourgondisch Cruyce, Brugge, Belgium.
Golden beer with balance and poise but not a lot of richness and complexity.

4yr old sample: Great balanced tripel with well stated alcohol, present, but remaining an accomodating good friend rather than a striking foe. Nose is malty, fruity (pears, apple). Palate turns out pretty dry from the initial fruit/honey malt interplays and spicy through the floral hoppy finish. Low carbonation, medium body, softly malty.

Solo work on a Magnum. Lucky it was good. Pours honey/amber gold with a small beaded foamy off white head. Aroma is yeasty with piles of fresh bready dough malts. Some apple and spice notes. All of that carries very well to the palate and flavours. Very bready and some yeast citric sours when ice cold. Soapy sap and cedary hops. Honey stronger in the aroma. Grass, hay, barnyard. Piles of fruit, apple, pear, peach, plum, cherry and raspberry. Toasted sweet malts and a champagne mouthfeel. Alcohol is present but hidden rather well, and comes out more at the end. Hopped, medicine, herbal finish. With age, this bottle would be nothing short of amazing.
