A classic 'tripel' enriched with modern hoppiness. Our Hop Ruiter blends Belgian yeast and overseas hops to a particularly crafty tripel. So called dryhopping makes this beer an aromatic treat that constantly surprises.

Brilliant white tight bubbly head stayed on a hazy, still amber body. Minimal aroma of tropical fruits. Medium bodied, tingly on the tongue, soft on the back & clean in the aft. Very fruity tastes of peach, melon, bubble gum & banana with a tangy, floral, bitter finish

Le mélange des genres n'est jamais aisé. La brasserie Schelde s'essaye ici à une IPA, triple. Le résultat est plus que méritoire. Se basant sur une belle complexité et un bon équilibre, celle-ci est très agréable. Elle aurait tout de même méritée de tirer un peu plus vers l'IPA et d'avoir un élancement un peu plus marqué (elle présente une petite lourdeur en bouche). Robe blond foncé orangé (EBC aux alentours de 26) et mousse blanc cassé de 2 mm en verre. Le nez est très fruité avec banane, pomme, poire, pointe citronnée. Cela sent bon le houblon frais avec une petite touche épicée (très légère). L'attaque se présente sur un bon équilibre malt/houblon. On y retrouve les arômes découverts au nez avec des épices un peu plus prégnantes. A partir de là, l'amertume ira crescendo mais en ayant beaucoup de mal à décoller, a base sucrée l'empêchant de prendre sont envol. Ainsi, la deuxième bouche est légèrement plus amère avec une arrière bouche linéaire. La dégustation est d'ailleurs relativement linéaire, pour une bière très homogène. La troisième bouche voit tout de même des épices un peu plus présentes et marque le maximum d'intensité sur l'amertume avant un final un peu court mais agréable. A quand la Triple / Double IPA de chez Schelde?

Bottled. Thanks Hrabren! Golden body, bit hazy, lasting big white head. Alcohol, Belgian yeasty notes, fruity hoppiness. Taste, sweetish, banana, some light fruity hop, a bit grainy, alcohol. Not bad, just a bit too raw. Interesting crossover beer. Smooth. Dunno, the alcoholic harshness ruins it.

Hazy pale yellow colour, long lasting foam. No date of any kind on the 750mL bottle. Oh, and it’s an oozer.
Smells of bubblegum, yeast, candi sugar, a touch of banana.
Taste reflects the smell but much milder than what I expected. Considering the ample abv. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a nice drop but shows up a tad under when it comes to value for the money. Worthy of a try.
