Florival Triple

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

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip

Poured a lightly hazed golden colour, with a massive white head, settles back into a nice creamy foam showing great lace. Sweet aroma of peach, caramel and nuts. Sticky warming palate, more stonefruity esters and caramel in the flavour, as well as some complex yeasty notes. All this delivered though an amazingly smooth carbonation and warming alcohol. Smooth, sweet finish. Unexpectedly excellent.

Poured golden with a nice white head, but little lacing. Semi-sweet malt flavor with notes of citrus and corriander. A "generic" Belgian beer from Del Haize that is quite tasty.

Bottle. Color: gold. Fizzy white head. Hoppy aroma. Lightly bitter initial flavour, moderately bitter finish. Is this the same like affligem tripel ?

UPDATED: OCT 25, 2007 Gul let uklar øl. med hvidt skum. Duften er sød, belgisk gæren. og sødligt krydret. Smagen er sød, varm. Let karaml og humle, og let gæret. En af de bedre.

33cL bottle. Poured a clear golden color, with a foamy white head. Aroma and flavor were slightly sweet, with spicy hints. Nice beer all around.

courtesy of Julien Sarrasin - pours a cloudy golden-orange colour with a little long lasting white foam; very estery with notes of fresh apples and pears; quite sweet and full malt body, slightly oily and bitter, a solid carbonation and a long fruity estery finish with lot of residual sugars and some alcohol presence - very belgian

Clear golden body. Fizzy white head, mostly diminishing, fair lace. Hoppy aroma (I did smell some olives too :)) Lightly bitter initial flavour, moderately bitter finish.
