Petrus Triple

Brewed by Bavik-De Brabandere
Style: Abbey Tripel
Harelbeke, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip

Bottle served in a tulip. Half of it overflowed upon opening. The part that made it into my glass was very hazy yellow-orange, had some floaties, and a large white top. Hot aroma, heavy yeast, and distant citrus. Medium sweet and very yeasty flavor. Medium body, foamy fizzy mouthfeel, and a doughy dry finish.

Bottle. Pours a lightly hazed straw colour with a fairly impressive white head. The aroma has a bit of citrus notes, sweet bread and some hints of sugar. Some hints of apple and banana, along with a bit of sugar, but still fairly dry. A really crisp, clean flavor.

Pour is a hazy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is citrus and spice with a vanilla yeast. Lots of floaties in this. Flavor is a nice citrus hops up front follow by a large helping of candi sugar. Finish leaves a tangy/sourness on the tounge. So-so tripel. A little to much sugar and not enough spice.

Petrus Gouden Tripel on kullanvärinen olut. Saippuavaahtoa on enemmän kuin tarpeeksi ja olut kuplii reilusti. Oluen tuoksu on makean hedelmäinen ja maltainen. Maussa on hieman makeutta, hedelmäisyyttä, katkeruutta ja hiivaa. Ihan hyvä, mutta ei lähellekään parhaita tyylissään.

Bottle. Poured into a tulip glass a dark golden straw color with a very lively, big white head that is extremely slow to recede. The nose through this big fluffy head has notes of fruit like apple and pear but with a slightly sour tinge. Fairly sweet smelling as well. Medium/light mouthfeel. Surpisingly the taste doesn’t seem as robust as the nose. Sweet almost chardonnay like flavors gives way to a muted fruit taste. Mild bitterness at the end as well. Ends pretty dry. The 7.5% is slightly noticeable but nothing too out of control. In the end, this is okay but I wold have preffered it a little more flavorful.

Pours a dark cloudy golden with medium head and weak lacing. Clean taste of toasted caramel with light bittering to complete a good balance. Warm alcohol finish. Excellent.
