La Rulles Triple

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

The beer pours from the 750ml bottle a hazy golden amber with a bit of orange shading, head is creamy white and piles high on the body, lace forms a nice concealing sheet. Nose has a candy sweet aroma, fruity, peaches comes to mind, a bit astringent, soapy, start has a decent sweet malt presence, slight bitterness along with the tartness, moderate in feel. Finish has unrelenting acidity, sour and sweet continues, hops understated, very dry, a drinkable beer, 8.4 percent ABV, does leave an alcohol bitterness and a bit of a warming sensation.

750ml. bottle. Hazy golden/orange color with a large white head. Aroma is fruity (peaches), spicy(pepper, coriander) and yeasty. Flavor was pretty mild, more saison-like than a tripel. It had the same fruity/spicy flavor that the aroma indicated, but was kind of dull and watery.

ap: a cloudy golden color with a full white head.. the bottle blew a buble when opened ar: hints of rose bud, grass, sweetness.. the smell is bold and incredible pa: lightly carbonated, a bit light, fairly creamy fl: sweet light fruits that I can’t seem to pick apart.. odd aftertaste ovr: another beer that smelled better than it tasted not bad though thanks to John for this one

(draft) A fairly standard tasting tripel. Perhaps a little more citrus than I’d prefer, but very drinkable.

Draught, at Delirium. Golden with large white head, mostly diminishing, ok lacings. Aroma moderate malty (citrus), light hoppy and yeasty. Flavor moderate sweet and bitter, long duration. Medium body, oily, normal carbonated. It is served to cold, so it was first sharp turning into smoothnes.

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.

Dry, close to dusty. A bit of fennel spiciness, sharp, but then thin, watery, and surprisingly so. A bit of pepper and a bit appley fruit. Nice, but I thought it was going to be fuller. Very nice looking - quintessential even in it’s soft gold, of the earth color.

Amber color with a white head. Nice smell is earthy, grainy with a bubble gum sweetness. Medium bodied. Has a mildly sweet pale malt, spicy yeasty flavor. Finish is on the dry side. Nice label shows a troll holding a brewski...Enjoyable. 5197
