La Rulles Triple

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

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.

On tap at the Delirium Cafe, Brussels.: Poured couldy yellow with a medium white head. Slight bubblegum in the nose and what seems to me to be spearmint. Mild mint in the flavor also. Mild sweetness up front and a pretty bitter finish. Decent.

Pours gold with a slight haze. Thick white head and saison like aroma. Matter of fact this beer shares many similarities to a saison. Fruits, straw, and hops with a thin mouth-feel.

This golden tripel-style poured with a slight white head. The initial flavor is full with a carbonated mouth feel and a slightly bitter finish. Overall, a nice tripel.

Tons of dark, sandy sediment can be found in the hazy, bronzed-orange body of this beer under a fluffy head which settles to spittles. Too-heavy alcohol is the only fault to a yeasty aroma with violets and a white wine tang. Smooth in the mouth finishing dry. My numbers continue but my words do not, as I put down my pen and choose to enjoy this beer rather than continue writing.

Wow the aroma is big and blasts out of the glass as the beer is poured. Hazy golden-amber body topped by a dense to rocky off-white head. Glass lace is excellent. Looks outstanding. THe aroma is loaded with citurs and freshly cut grass. Some sweetness (hiney?) lives in there also. The flavor is definitely honey, some bread, lots of hoppiness all throughout, and some pepper in the finish. Quite nice. Medium full body, soft carbonation. Very pleasant. Interesting bottle artwork also.

Pours a pale honey gold with a one finger white head. The nose is very earthy, very yeasty, mildly sweet, big Belgian influence. The flavor is very earthy and yeasty, lightly sweet, spicy. Palate is mildly sweet and well carbonated. The yeast character becomes almost overwhelming.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours cloudy golden with a white head. Aroma of citrus, spices, and alcohol. The flavor is spices, citrus, and hoppy bitter (but well balanced).
