Angus Tripel

Tap at the Wildeman, Amsterdam. Poured a clear medium amber with a thin white head. The aroma is yeast malt citrus. The flavour is light bitter light sweet and with some sour notes too with a malt hop dry slight mint palate. Medium bodied with flat carbonation.

Small offwhite head. Amber body with light carbonation made hazy by lots of floaties. Light fruity spicy aroma, too faint to make out anything more. Dry-sweet spicy wooden fruity taste with herbal honey notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, mealy mouthfeel with slight sharpness and heat. Dry coriander and spice aftertaste with herbal dried fruit notes. Nice, vivid, harmonic. (0.33l bottle from de Bierkoning.)

33cl Bottle from Secret Sint. Light/Dark version? I don’t know. But judging from the ratings, the dark is 9.5% ABV, the light 8.5%. Anyway, my beer wasn’t dark at all, and ABV was 8.5%, so here goes: Hazy golden orange colour, creamy off-white head. Aroma of fresh apple juice, sour apples, a light Brett-character shining through, alcohol, citric acid. Flavour is quite tart to sour, lemon, citric acid, apples, malts, sugar, alcohol bitter finish. Medium-bodied. I have the feeling I had an infected bottle, I don’t think this beer was intended to be quite tart.

Bottle @ Drie Dorstige Herten. Slightly hazy golden colour, white head. Nose is fruity, hoppy and yeasty. Flavour is yeasty, slightly sour, floral, with a fairly bitter finish. The american hops are noticable.

Bottle @ home. Amber colored, average sized off-white head. Smell malts and pretty sweet for a tripel. Tastes pretty sweet as well, too sweet for a tripel imo. Finish is fruitpeel-bitter. Medium carbo, medium body.Earlier Rating: 6/18/2011 Total Score: 3.5Smells kind of weird; anise and ’drop’ (don’t know the English word for that). Tastes a little like sambucca. Aftertaste not bad, palate good for 9.5ABV.
