t Smisje Tripel

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

Amber with a nice head. Aroma of fruits, spice and yeast. The flavour is slightly sour and has sweetness, notes of fruit (orange) and a nice bitterness to balance the sweet. Nice and OK average trippel.

A brilliant orange and a quite lasting head for this aromatic tripel. Honey nose, with some fruitiness, apricot and tropical, alcoholic and a bit yeasty. The flavour is alcoholic, yeasty (perhaps the yeast in my sample had suffered a little bit) and obv fruity and doughy. Worth drinking.

bottle, uto. Amber with sparse white head. Butterscotch and honey in the nose with a fairly strong tone of alcohol. Taste is dominated by alcohol, but sweet fruit and treacle soften things up a bit. Dry fruit finish. Syrupy full body. It’s kind of strange. It’s too heavy for me, but it would make a great third or fourth, once the senses have dulled down.

(33cl bottle) Murky apple cider body chock full of floating yeasties, topped by small beige head. Aroma is sweet, bread/cookie, mango/peach syrup, some orange. Taste is moderately sweet, peach, mango, some herb, cookie, alcohol warming. Sticky full body.

Robe blonde voilée surmontée d’une mousse blanche épaisse en dentelle qui persiste. Arômes de levures et d’agrumes. Saveurs de levures, d’alcool, d’agrumes et de caramel.

Bottle: Poured a hazy golden/beige color ale with a huge foamy head with average retention. Aroma of typical Regenboog yeast with some sweet malt. Taste is dominated by the dry yeast with some sweet malt and very subtle spices. The alcohol is discernable and way too cloying to make this enjoyable. Another so-so beer from a brewery that leaves me ambiguous.

Bottle. Creamy white excellent fully lasting head. Orange/yellow colour. Powerfull hoppy aroma with nice orange notes. Nice bitter flavor fruity notesa. Average finish. Oily palate but too fizzy, still nice beer.
