La Rulles Triple

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

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

750 ml in Westmalle glass. Hazy orange with orange-tinted head and lace. Orangey aroma. Honey-orange flavor with tobacco bitterness and somewhat hoppy finish. Nice complex flavors. Very full-bodied for the style, I think. Fairly low carbonation. Very good.

Pours a hazy golden with a light sticky head. Aroma is heavily spiced with nutmeg and coriander being very prevelant. The flavor is equally heavy with spice and adds some yeastiness, and minor band-aid flavors. The body is med. The finih is short with the exception of some of the spices coating the tongue. Remember, if you can pick it out, you’ve used too much.

nothing spectacular. not a lot of flavor. some fruit in aroma, a little hops. no alcohol flavor, but not much candy sugar at all (super not american tripel).

Ho un sonno terribile, è l’ora che vado a dormire; comunque sta birra è veramente ottima provatela.

750 bottle with a cool label poured a nice golden in color with a thick initial head falling back to become a thin layer with nice lacing. aroma has spicy yeast, caramel, sweet fruit, spice, and barnyard funk. mouth feel is on the thin side with a nice coating of the tongue. flavor hits with spiced yeast, malt, hay and grass. hops become present, good barnyard funk, and finishing with light sweetness on the dry side. a touch of bitterness and fruit top it off. real nice beer towards the spiced side just lacking body.

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."

Pours hazy golden orange with off white head. Aromas of bread dough, spices and slight hoppiness. Sweet with spices, yeast, citrus and hops. Reminds me Chouffe Houblon but not quite as good. Medium body with lively carbonation. A pretty good beer.
