Urthel Hibernus Quentum Tripel

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

Bottled. Fraught yellow color, decidedly torbid with presence of sediment. Good fizz. Compact and resistant head, good total duration. Leaven and wine cellar scent with light must and spice notes. Determined and alcoholic taste, enough sweet at the beginning with agreeable notes of white grape. Enough long-lasting end.

Tap at the Stumbling Monk. Hazy blonde/golden beer. Thin white head. Cool glass. Sweet yeasty aroma, spicy yeast, a bit of sweatiness. Bready malts, but otherwise clean. Flavour is pretty solid, peach and apple esters. Nicely balanced. 8 3 7 3 14 750 ml corked and caged. Very cloudy pale orange beer. Fast-fading white head. Spicy and yeasty aroma, with brown bread, melon, clove, mint and white pepper appearing. A bit of brown sugar and peachy fruitiness as well. Flavour is quite complex and tasty. Sweet and fruity up front with peach, apple and pear-like esters followed by bubble gum, clove and pepper all making an appearance. Soft texture with a lightly malty backbone. Minty hop flavour on the finish. Warming also brings out sweet floral and honeyish notes. Soft textured with some nice biscuity finish. This beer has a tasty balance of fruit and spice. I wouldn’t exactly call this a triple, but I would call it excellent.

Very interesting beer!! Aroma is part brown sugar, flowers, pears, melon, white pepper, and some wierd mustiness going on. Incredible! Light-medium gold/orange color, this beer just shines in the glass. Fluffly head with small bubbled carbonation. Taste is malty, peppery, and spicy and an underlying sweetness. It’s like it dances on your tongue. Finish is spicy, leafy and some sort of fruity that’s just barely detectable. A very different triple, but if you find it quickly get it. You won’t be disappointed.

pours hazy golden with a small white head, aroma of belgian styles spices, citrusy fruit, wheat, flavor is carbonated, hoppy bitter bite, but goes down smooth, ok body, not bad.

Caramel colored. I can smell apple. Cidery, lambicy, caramel, damp. Too much alcohol flavor to get high score.

750ml bottle. Light murky orange with a thin white head and some lacing. Nose of pears, tropical fruits, and yeasty bread dough. Flavor is light and crisp with fruit, and earth with a sharp sour bite in the finish(perhaps from alcohol and hops). Very nice beer for 9% and a good value for the price I paid. ($6.79) I need to age some an try it in a year or so.

Pours a slightly cloudy golden with a thin white head that lingers. Nose is fruity and a little sour with some alcohol notes. Flavor is light and crisp with some tropical fruits and some sourness. There is a little bit of alcohol warmth in the finish. A decent beer but certainly not urthel’s best offering.

Normal smeel and appearance for a tripel, but above par in flavor. Huge head is a little bit too dry to be outstanding, but it tastes almost exactly like the beer. A little heavier than you’d expect. The only real downside to this beer is that I drank it with Thai food. It does not go well with Thai food.
