’t Hofbrouwerijke Bosprotter

Brewed by ’t Hofbrouwerijke
Style: Abbey Tripel
Beerzel, Belgium

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a huge orangey head. The aroma has notes of malt and citrus, as well as light notes of bread. The flavor is sweet and sour with strong notes of citrus fruits - especially grapefruit, leading to a tart, bitter finish.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of plovmand. Slightly hazy golden with lots of floating impurities and a small off-white head. Sweetish fruity nose. Medium body with sweet fruits and yeast and a dry finish. Not a bad tasting beer, but sweet jesus does it look like shit. 230808
