Urthel Hibernus Quentum Tripel

Brouwerij De Leyerth
Brewed at De Koningshoeven (Bavaria - Netherlands)
Style: Abbey Tripel
Ruiselede, Belgium

Gushingly carbonated. Fuming tower of creamy off-white over a pyre of gently tinted golden. Aroma of phenolic lemon fruits and garden flowers. Flavor is a lucious sweet candied lemon rind, peppered with Grains of Paradise, coriander and juniper. It’s redolent with savory herbs and sweeping light caramels. Drawn out yeast notes play into a realm of light choppy bitterness notes, with some balance. As with the style, a touch of cloying qualities. A quite respectable, delicious and well-built Tripel. Needs some nuanced character.

Has a golden haze, with hints of fruits with a slightly hoppy aftertaste. Has a slight alcohol bite aftertaste but balances out fairly well.

pale yellow. smells like buttery popcorn. but lacks anything in taste really.

Nice spice and over ripe fruit and bitter apple flavors. Dry, champaigne like finish. Smelled like it would be sweet, but was not at all. Crisp and smooth.

Bottle... Clear, yellow ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Aromas of pear, bubblegum, smoke and clove. Sweet, fruity flavor up front, but decent balance is achieved via good bittering hops... there doesn’t seem to be much in the way of aromatic hops. That’s to style, I suppose. Lightly tangy. Full-bodied with lively carbonation. Finishes crisp and clean.

Be afraid, be very afraid.This sweet beautiful brew is very close to perfect. Careful, the 9 will sneak up on ya!

Bottled - Cambrinus - Brugge. A copper coloured beer with a huge marshmallow of a white head. The aroma is lemony and yeasty. Quite true to style. The taste is very yeasty with lots of dominant alcohol. Lemony citricity. Nice but that alcohol does intrude a little.

Bottle at Cambrinus, Bruges. Pale copper with lasting beige head. Alcoholic tasting triple with prickly carbonated finish. Belgian yeast aroma. Rather dull triple.
