Leffe Tripel 8

Brewed by Brouwerij Hoegaarden (InBev)
Style: Abbey Tripel
Hoegaarden, Belgium

bottle from my sweet girlfriend. Pours a yellow, gold beer with a decent head. Good aroma with hints of orange. Beer tastes good with hints of the typical Leffe taste.

Bottle. Pours hazy golden orange with a bubbly white head that shrinks fairly quickly to surface cover. Nose is quite yeasty with notes of orange, peach and apricot. Flavour displays the same but is slightly fruitier and spicier with doughy malt, coriander, mango and clove all standing out. Mouthfeel is smooth, creamy and delicate making this a particularly good tripel and one of the best offerings from Leffe.

Pours a cloudy blonde with decent head into a chalice. Aroma isn’t much, just alcohol and citrus notes, which means there’s hops floating around somewhere. Good flavour, dark malts and syrup, caramel, hops, all the good stuff you’d expect from Leffe but there’s not much to differentiate it from the brewery’s other brews. In fact between this and the Brown I can barely tell the difference.

07-OCT-2009, bottle in Paris. Huge head on an orange unclear body. Beautifull sight, so I stick my nose in the glass, and I am happy. This is a tripple, and it is just what it is supposed to. Very very yeasty on the flowery side. Oranges dominate, but spices show up as well. And then the creaminess...it balances out the lack of carbonation... or actually the carbonation is spot on with the creaminess. Anyway this is one of the better Leffe offerings. To sad it has become so difficult to find in DK.

330ml bottle. Light amber and cloudy with a rich thick white blanket of foam. Aroma is subtle with spiced and spiced fruit notes coming through. Refreshing taste of sweet spiced pears and fruit. Strong alcohol taste that sits in the mouth.

Golden yellow colour, big head, staying in the glass Ƒ cm). Aroma is coriander-like, orange peels, hops. tastes hoppy, bitter, full taste, medium carbonation. Nice

25cl bottle. Poured a dark, hazy amber color with a tall beige head. Yeasty, spicy nose with hints of caramel and bananna. Medium to full bodied, smooth mouthfeel. Flavor starts sweet later the spicy Belgian character comes thru with hints of corriander and clove. This beer was my go to beer on a recent trip to France. Very good Tripel.

Bottle. The aroma is very fruity and sour, also some bread. The head is small, white and light creamy with a normal duration. The body is cloudy and orange. The taste is light bitter and metallic in the finish, the middle part is also light sour. The body is medium strong, creamy and with a lively carbonation.
