La Rulles Triple

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

0.75l bottle from the Beershop shared with heavy (thanks!). Poured a beautiful darker orange body, medium-small white head. Fine American hops in the nose, oranges, honey, typical Rulles (which isn’t a bad thing). The taste is fine and full, hop again, agrumey, on the bitter side. Some honey, somewhat yeasty. Light pine. A fine hoppy tripel, not too flashy, tasty.

Blond coloured beer with small white head and few carbonation. Herby spicy aroma. Full palate. finish is herby and bit bitter.

Draught at zythos bierfestival 2009. Cloudy yellow colour with an average frothy white head. Aroma is yeast, spicy and peppery. Flavor is very sweet with strong notes of over ripe fruits. Bitter finish.

draught at Zythos beerfest 2009, soft beer gentle in the throat, hoppy taste and good tripel

Zythos 2009. Bittery spicy beer with fruity aroma’s and a watery texture (really hard to say when tasting so much different beers).

Cloudy, golden with a hint of orange to the colour. Head is medium sized with good retention. Aroma is tropical, bananna and green apple aon the nose. Mouthfeel is light but creamy with a noticeable bit of spice in the initial taste. Apricot with a hint of some sort of grassy herbs and a nice smooth finish.

Tap at Lucky Baldwin’s. Brian was selling the pants off this thing. No striking aroma to speak of, and flavor is a bit too much like a Belgian Pale - no thickness or Trappist quality. I quote BrotherGrendel: "A middle of the road Tripel with a bit too much lingering bitterness for the style."

This tripel "rulles" (I know, I’m hilarious). Nice hazy golden appearance with substantial white head. Fruity, yeasty aroma, with some floral hops. Complex flavor with light fruits, spices, and yeast. Hoppy finish, smooth palate. Refreshing and satisfying.
