Allemanswies

Brewed by Boelens
Style: Abbey Tripel
Belsele, Belgium

Hazy wheaty-gold; very slim white head. Grainy, malty nose, some shrubbery or greenwood. Some liqueurish notes, rather than candy sugar. Flavours of chaff, old grain, much more liqueurish - the alcohol shows, on top of the typical (raw) grain character. If I had to classify this, I would think of European Strong lager, or malt liquor with all the bad associations going with this - despite the topfermenting. Medium bodied, alcohol thins it. Way too unrefined. If tripel was intended, it’s failed.
