t Smisje Tripel

Brewed by Brouwerij De Regenboog
Style: Abbey Tripel
Assebroek-Brugge, Belgium

Smooth, creamy and delicious. Residual honeyed sweetness is mellow and cut by the bitter twang on your tongue. Good balance of flavors in a fun beer.

Bottle at Quinn’s, Camden. Hazy orangey golden with a frothy head. Interesting, spicy and herbal hop aroma. Good malty base for a very bitter beer with lots of herbal flavours. Quite original.

Bottle from Papsoe, sampled with Zinister. Thanks!
Pours like unfiltered apple juice with an aroma of cedar and apple juice. Syrupy sugar cane and pineapple dominate the flavors. Very thick on the tongue. Interesting flavor.

Thanks to Papsoe for this one (Kaggie97/Zinister trade). Orange copper color pour with minimal head. Good lacing. Nose of fresh bread dough, yeast and cedar as well. Taste is much the same, but with nice sugar malts and citrus flavors (pineapple). Very nice beer. Thanks Papsoe.

Pours a cloudy orange color with a thin white head. Aroma of doughy yeast and citrus. Flavor of doughy yeast and citrus. The body is light with a creamy texture and moderate carbonation. I like this tripel, it doesn’t have anything special but it’s just plain old enjoyable goodness.
