De Gouwe Tripel

Brewed by Huisbrouwerij de Gouwe
Style: Abbey Tripel
Waddinxveen, Netherlands

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip

Bottled - trade with Otje (many thanks). A darkish tripel being light amber in colour with a small beige coloured head. The aroma is a tad yeasty but has pineapple notes also. (I see jbrus concurs). Taste seems a little sweet and sour. Some orange notes amidst a light sourness. Prickly carbonation. An odd but drinkable tripel.

Bottled. Aroma of pineapple, apple and rhubarbre. Hazy, orange color, off-white head, fair lace. Sweet, pineapple, orange, light spices. Medium body, sparkling and warming.

Dark yellow/amber beer with a good off-white head. Smells nice and fruity(citrus). Tastes spicy, citrussy and sour vinegar, some more malt in the finish. Brewed by style but somewhat strange and sour.

Blonde and cloudy. Hoppy, creamy, citric aroma. Sharp, alcoholic flavor. Thin. Anis and the slightest touch of vinegar. A distant hoppiness. Disappointing after the pleasant aroma.
