De Graal Tripel

Brewed by De Graal
Style: Abbey Tripel
Brakel, Belgium

Wonderbier! Nadat ik het inschenk is het dood bier. Geen schuim. Nadat het gist een beetje bezonken is begint het weer te schuimen. Er komt geen schuimkraag maar het lijkt niet meer morsdood. Het bier proeft heel fruitig. Best een lekkere tripel.

Bottle. Hazy golden colour with a white head. Spicy yeasty aroma. Sweet malty fruity flavor with some spicy hints and a little yeasty. Spicy warming aftertaste.

hazy gold under a creamy white head. banana, coriander, sweet creamed corn, and flowers aroma. flavors of delicate banana, yeast, the corn of creaminess, honey, and spices(hint of fresh picked mint leaves). a bit too bubbly, sharp, and carbonated. light bodied. overall its a good one and much better than the dubbel.

Appearance: Pours a hazy, yellow body with a smallish, white head. Some sediment rolling around in there, too. Smell: Belgian malts coated in candi sugar, honey, spices, hunks of fruit, and even some flower petals. Taste: Pale maltiness augmented with a kick of candi sugar sweetness. Fruity tastes of lemons and pears. A tad floral. Spoonful of orange blossom honey. The tiniest pinch of Chinese Five Spice. Mild hop bitterness. Slight yeastiness. I must say the 9% ABV is well hidden. Sweetish, fruity finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium-high, effervescent carbonation. Drinkability: My my, that’s not half bad! Reasonably tasty and surprisingly easy to drink down.

Bottle. Average foamy white head that mostly lasted. Fair display of lacework. Somewhat cloudy sparkling with a golden color. Lots of particles in flow at the very end. Aroma of coriander, clove, spice, fruit, yeast, citrus. Over the palate came mild dusty feel, light grainy and caramel. Medium to almost full bodied with an average carbonation and quit filling texture for a Tripel, mild alcoholic. Moderated sweet fruity flavor with mild acidic and maybe a hint of bitterness. Sweet and smooth spicy finish. Quit nice Tripel I enjoyed.
