3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Drank at De Gelmel, Hoogstraten, Belgium. Very fine Tripel with a fruity flavor and nice presentation. A lot of carbonation going on, which I like in a Tripel.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with sediments. More carbonation than the dubbel. Alcohol well hidden, sweet finish. Flavor is of sweet fruits, not too acidic.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
330ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Slightly hazy gold, healthy head. Weird dishwater and soap aroma. Citrus too later, then finally sweet ripe fleshy fruits. Pleasant carbonation. Lovely roast, pretty sweet, in some ways cakey. Tingly hops too, but alas a bit of an alcohol kick up the nose. In the mouth it’s certainly pleasant, but it’s perhaps a bit sweet and too alcoholic and they need to sort out the aroma too. With more yeast, it’s even cakier, and pretty drinkable because the alcohol’s better hidden.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
