Wevelgemse Tripel

Brewed by Brouwerij De Ranke
Style: Abbey Tripel
Dottignies/Dottenijs, Belgium

At Chez Moeder Lambic; Bruxelles
Hazy golden color. Spicy malt Ale, both aroma and flavor; good hop aroma too; quite strong bitterness. Good.

Bottle, 33cl at Poatersgat. Nice served light orange beer with little white but lacing and lasting head. Also this beer looks like a hoppy, bittery beer and the smell confirms that fast: hoppy and light grainy. The taste confirms further: a grainy, hoppy taste with an agreaable light bitter afterstaste. Also spicy notes and a bit yeasty. Good tripel, but again: I feel I already drunk a tripel like this before.

bottle@ poatersgat, orange colour with small but stable white head, hoppy smell. Taste: bitter, hoppy, grainy notes, spicy and yeasty finish. Very nice tripel but nothing I’ve never drunk before.

Unclear medium orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, light to moderate hoppy, moderate to light heavy yesty, fruity. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20081004]

Brugge Festival 2008. Green gold colour, thick cream head. OK tripel/hoppy blond. Bit of puke, decent hop on finish. Saved by the hop.
