t Smisje Tripel

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

An orange beer with yeast clumps floating around in it, and a fast disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of peaches, oranges, and alcohol. The flavor is of oranges, yeast, and spices. The body is thin - especially for a 9% ABV beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear, pale, amber golden with an off-white, lacing head leaving a beautiful, broad curtain of laces. Refined sherry-like aroma. Full-bodied with lots of fruit notes - overripe fruit also. Quite rounded and matured. The alcohol really shows in the finish. Lovely. 210607
