Affligem Tripel

Brewed by Brouwerij Affligem / De Smedt (Heineken)
Style: Abbey Tripel
Opwijk, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip

750 ml bottle from Imbibe Wine. Nose ofyeast, candi sugar, caramel, and a little bubblegum note to go with the spices.Clear gold with a big cream colored glass lacing head after the cork popped like a champagne bottle. Flavor is sweet caramel and spices with a hint of bitterness and alcohol.

Smell really opens up the nose with it’s fruitiness. There’s stuff floating in the bottle and the head is big but is gone quickly. Flavor goes from nice and sweet to hoppy, but not overwhelming.

Bottled 33cl. Quick diminishing head. Some acetone and banana in the nose which is otherwise very typical for the style. Sweet. Pleasant taste.

Julio’s Belgian Beer Festival. Sample. Excellent triple. One of the best of dozens sampled at this festival.

I’ll make this one quick- as I am watching Ratatouille at this moment... This is a great fruity tripel, bouquet and palate. A classic.

bottle from midway mart in denton tx. poured a very light gold with a nice white head that stayed around. aroma of citrus, fruity notes, ginger, honey, and some spice. flavor was lemon, spices, and some small hints of clove and the slightest bit of honey. body was full with high carbonation. some alcohol was noticeable.

Bottle - 330ml. Beautiful hazy golden body with average carbonation and a thin white frothy head. Good malty/hoppy aroma with bready and honeyish hints. Alcohol is very well hidden. Its nice, robust malty/hoppy taste carries honeyish, citrusy, and yeasty notes. Ends with a long, warming bittersweet finish. Very good example of Tripel.
