La Rulles Triple

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

Hazy gold/light bronze. Creamy, off white head. Nice lacing. Aroma- sunscreen, rich malt, spices, sugar, floral hops. Lost points for the sunscreen. Flavor is a balance of sweet/spicy/sour. Rich malt, crisp floral hops, spices, yeast, alcohol. Finish and aftertaste are dry, alcoholic, yeasty. Full/medium, balanced body. Very nice, a bit unorthodox tripel.

Slighty spicy..very grassy aroma. Has hints of lemon zest. Cloudy yellow/gold color with a lovely white head that is exceptionally creamy looking like a lemon meringue. Fore is yeasty, creamy and malty. Tastes a bit like a white cake with heavy cream added and a tad of vanilla extract. But sadly other than a vaguley banana tinged note there isn’t very much int he way of other flavors and it just comes off as a a really good, but highly one dimensional offering.

pours a cloudy golden color. aroma is slightly yeasty and spicy. taste is much lighter than i would like, some citrus and banana and other fruity flavors. lots of carbination. not a bad, but nothing special. not enough flavor for an 9 dollar beer.

Hazy golden color with a large foamy white head. Yeasty, fruity aroma (banana and peach). Some sweet malts, wheat (banana) and yeasty flavors. Dries out towards the finish, a little bit dusty with a spicy hop finish.

Bottle provided by and shared with tpkenned. Semi-translucent, opulent and magnifying yellow with yeasties swimming about. Creamy, fuzzy white head, beautiful vellum lace and an icy recession to wrap up the appearance portion. Curt, husky aroma. Evident pils malt, coriander, tin cans, sweet candied maize, ragweed and wet dog. Calming lemon rind flavor joins coriander and pollen. Straight forward starchy muskiness. Lemon-herbed baguettes transition to vanilla and crystallized sugar over Lemonheads. Not much effervescence, and generally a quick moving stream that loses steam near the end. Well disguised alcohol, finishing with pepper, poppyseeds and limeade. An honorable triple.

Hoppy, creamy peppery aroma. Malty, but not too sweet. Full bodied. Creamy, peppery flavor with hints of cardemom and anis. Throughout a hoppiness that becomes almost oily in the aftertaste. A worthy beer to close the year 2005.

a hazy orange body with medium head...great aroma, and is of floral notes, sugars, spice, heavy in lemon, and has some sort of a wit backbone to it....honey, lemon, yeast, spice, and sugars for flavor...nice palate
