COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
21°P, 35 IBU. Ingredients: Malted barley, wheat, malted wheat, sugar, hops, yeast and local Grimstad water. It is very difficult to brew a complex and balanced Belgian-style tripel ale, but we have made an attempt at brewing one anyway! Our respect and admiration for those who master the skill and art of brewing excellent ale of this style is limitless. Tripels often pair with cheese, seafood and fresh vegetables.

Ungstrup (26267) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - SEP 11, 2010
Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of malt and fruit as well as a light note of smoke. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, smoke, alcohol, and fruits - especially peaches, leading to a dry and bitter finish.

yespr (26103) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - JUN 19, 2009
50 cL bottle, courtesy of yngwie. Pours a hazy yellow to light orange with a small white head. Aroma is mild spiced, caramelish and light roasted, I didn’t pick up the smoke before after the first sip - rather subdued. Fruity and yeasty flavoured, mild spiced - classic triple yet with a subtle smoke note. Interesting although I’m not so sure the smoke adds much to the brew. Slight alcohol warmth in the finish.

Bottle. Mildly spicy aroma, nothing distinct. Slightly hazy golden colour. Small stable white head. The flavour is quite sweet, well balanced by alcohol. A little spicy, but not overwhelming. Hint of fruity yeast and a little baking yeast in the finish. All in all very well-balanced.
