Witkap Pater Tripel

Brewed by Brouwerij Slaghmuylder
Style: Abbey Tripel
Ninove, Belgium

Tasty, simple tripel. It does look nice with a very tall head, with an aroma of sugar, light spice, and wheat. Flavor is sweet, yeasty, and lightly hopped. Good palate, and due to the low abv, no noticeable alcohol.

Nice floral aroma. Pretty, clear yellow. Big fluffy head. First sip is startling tart. Hops on the edge of the tongue. Tartness fades and the dryness emerges. Not a great version, but passable.

Very strong orange aroma. It’s decent, but a little overpowering. It also smells like an old room. Decent white head. Good lacing.Cloudy golden orange. Very caramel with some darker notes A bit of an unpleasant bitterness, not from hops. A little espresso like, but not in the stout sense. Good full mouthfeel, nice carbonation. I really liked others from this brand, but would not buy this again.

Brussels-07. Nose of citrus, banana, light spices, and some tartness; hazy yellow-gold with a medium yellow tinged head; flavour has yeast, light tartness, fruitiness, spices, and a light finish of hop bitterness. Nice beer.

in bottle from John’s Grocery. a glorious pour of rich deep golden yellow with a large poufy white head of bodacious substance. leaves a matrix of delightful lenticular lacing. a medicinal belgian aroma of gooseberries. when cold, delightfully lemony in the first flavor. as it warms it has a somewhat toasted finish. this is way too easy to drink.

33 cl. bottle. Cloudy amber/orange with a thin head. Buttery biscuit to light caramel malt aroma with some faint flowery hops in the background. Flavor of bready malt, but with an underlying tartness which distracts from any other more subtle flavors (hop,spice, e.g.) that may exist. Thin, even a bit watery mouthfeel if poured w/o the yeast residue. The addition of such later on makes the palate a little richer. Not overly terrible, but not very complex and overall disappointing.

Bottle from Bottle Barn, Santa Rosa; Nose of citrus, banana, light spices, and some tartness; hazy yellow-gold with a medium yellow tinged head; flavor has yeast, light tartness, fruitiness, spices, and a light finish of hop bitterness.

330 mL bottle. Hazy yellow with a fizy white head. Tart aroma of slightly sour fruit. Some what lively, bright palate. Crisp taste of fruit cake and a bready finish.
