Brugse Tripel

Formerly brewed at Brouwerij Palm
Style: Abbey Tripel

One of the most wonderful beers I have ever tasted. Hazy amber colour with a huge, beige head. Sweet, yeasty, musty, earthy aroma; the flavour full of sweetness, citrus and nectarine sourness, warm alcohol and a full, satisfying bitterness at the close.

Bottled
Dark honey golden color, creamy white head. Lemony, fruity, yeasty nose. Sweetish (apricot, banana) flavor with citric bite. Bitterish (lemon acid) aftertaste.

alcohol, woody, basement aromas, dough, herbs, roasty, bread, amber, hazy, aminimal head, light sweetness, medium bitterness, lightly sour, paper napkin, full body, oily feel, average carbonation, long finish, this is a must to taste for any beer lover

the coup de grace from egajdzis’ tripel night, courtesy of MBA and the ’96 magnum. poured a hazy brown, almost caramel hue with very little head, aromas of yeast, clove, and malt comiing off. flavor is slightly acidic, a little bit of portwine in the background, banana, clove and yeast. mouthfeel was slick and sweet, almost a little oily, but overall very smooth.

Vintage 1996 Magnum, not Palm, but from the original brewery. hazy brown/golden, white head. Corky wine-like aroma. Smooth malty wine (slight cork) flavor, with the typical banana like clovey tripel notes. Fruity rich finish. Rather nice and fun to sample something like this...

Poured a hazy orange color with a large, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, caramel, citrus, spices, and alcohol. Taste of yeast, citrus, banana, spices, light alcohol in the finish.

(Bottle 33 cl) My version was 9,5% ABV. Golden amber with a tall, pretty head. Very powerfull, full-bodied with bottle fermentation. A rather dominating bitterness followed by a soft sweetness in the finish. One of my best Tripels so far. 120594

A damn good beer. More hazy than the usual Tripel, with a nice acidity as well as the usual strength and sweetness. Best consumed in Brugge. Of course, what could be better than drinking great Belgian beer in this greatest of Belgian locales. :)
