De Graal Tripel

Brewed by De Graal
Style: Abbey Tripel
Brakel, Belgium

Bottle. A cloudy golden yellow color with a large foamy white head. A sweet candy aroma with bubblegum, banana, pepper, and pears that rolls out of the glass. Light on the palate with a sweet finish. The candy spice and lemon flavors come through well. I like it.

Bottled. So if you’re into soft tripels, this is the one. Really nice soft citrus nose. Amber golden color, white head, good lace. Sweet, light bitter, citrus and pineapple. Full, soft and warming, alcohol well present.

750 ml bottle from Liquid Solutions. Aromas of fruit, yeast, candi and spice. Orange tinged golden color with a huge white head. Medium body with mild carbonation. Seems to be a touch of ginger in the flavor along with bits of citrus things. Very smooth. It’s really rather dry. Very tasty through to the finish.

Gold-greenish amber; small but good head, just off-white. English hops -and the best of them: spicey, and a little citrus aroma-hops. Good! sweetish with a low bitterness but a lot of hop FLAVOUR, even a bit cheesy. Very carbonated, nearly fizzy, slight alcohol burning. This is a great new tripel, tasted in good company - Mark Romero, David Anderson and Mat Wilson - everybody happy with this beer!

Bottle @ Frigo, Shibuya, Tokyo: Hazy blonde, orange, thick white head, nose of cardamom, spruce, honeycomb, grass, hay, lemon grass. Flavor of sweet malt and spruce, citrus, pepper and more grass. Lovely and complex.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a hazy with floating yeast chunks softly carbonated dark yellow colored body and an excellent lacing. The weak aroma was floral and malty. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The crisp flavor contained notes of malt sweet mild floral hops and mild candy. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.

(Bottled) Opaque golden color with a smallish head. Hoppy, slightly sour, tasty and fruity aroma. Sweetish, toffeeish, fruity and berryish flavor. Medium-bodied, neutral, low-carbonated palate. A quite pleasant and tasty brew.

Clear golden with a huge, white, Duvel-like head.Sweet coriander and yeasty nose. A lot of coriander and some pleasant sweet chocolatey maltiness in the flavours.Dry finish. Feeling rather light-weight for its strength, above-average carbonation. Alcohol is warming, though. A tripel with some refreshing saison qualities- definitely a beer with personality.
