La Rulles Triple

Brewed by Brasserie Artisanale de Rulles
Style: Abbey Tripel
Rulles, Belgium

A hazy orange beer with a thick lazing white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of fruit especially peaches, but also notes of green grapes, malt, prunes, over ripe fruits, wood, malt, and alcohol. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of over ripe fruits, both oranges and peaches, as well as some cloves, malt, wood, and alcohol. Leading to a slightly acidic and fruity end.

Bottle. Well carbonated hazy orange body with a medium-sized fluffy white head. Cheesy metallic yeastiness in the aroma along with a bit of cereal. Nice sweet cereal flavour, pears, other fruits, and some butterscotch. Faint alcohol. Pretty good.

Hazy golden ale. Spicy pepper, yeast aroma. Pepper taste somewhat watery, light body.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, biegaman, mds, Radek Kliber, tupalev & the rest of the gang -- my bottle courtesy of Secret Santa. Pours a cloudy yellow-orange with sediment and an average size lasting white head. Sweet aroma of Belgian yeast, spices and sweet malt -- nice! Flavour of yeast, sweet malt, fruit, spices, hops, sugar and a light bitter finish. Alcohol pretty well hidden. Medium bodied. Pretty good.

Bottle (750ml). Shared with blankboy, biegaman, mds, Radek Kliber, tupalev and others, blankboy’s bottle. Poured cloudy orange-yellow with an average frothy white head. Dry, yeasty, sweet malt, spicy, nicely complex. Tastes pretty much the same, just fruitier, I get pears and apples, with some bitter yeast in the finish. Pretty standard tripel body - soft, on the light side, somewhat alcoholic and soft - nice finish.

On tap at Uber a while ago...Slightly cloudy golden. Subtle belgian yeast taste with good sweetness. Hints of pineapple.

Bottled. A clear orange coloured beer with a large off-white head which dissipates all too quickly. The aroma is yeast, spicy and peppery. The taste is yeasty and spicy. The hops come through reeally nicely though with some orange flavours. Clean tasting and good alcohol levels. A classy tripel.

Pours a darkish blonde, only slightly hazy. Moderate foamy head that lingers. Scent is bready, with candied malt and a marked alcohol sharpness. The flavor is quite nice. Overall, it’s clean and fresh, and very sweet. As in the nose, the flavor is noticeably alcoholic. Mouthfeel is foamy and a bit prickly, as a tripel should be. The finish is drier than the flavor, with the same amount of warmth. This beer isn’t as complex as the best of the style, but it’s nice to drink. I’d definitely do it again.
