First Trappist Beer made in Spain, first brewed in 2016. Triple blonde with a 7-degree graduation. Elaborated from a careful selection of barley malt, hops, yeast and water, and with a second fermentation in the bottle, following the centuries-old tradition of the Trappist master brewers.

0.33 l bottle from 'Trappist Tribute', best before October 2024. Slightly hazy, golden amber with a thin, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, gently yeasty-spicy, slightly floral aroma of honey, vanilla, some clove and light banana. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, quite yeasty-spicy and slightly floral taste of clove, honey, vanilla, some vegetables and light banana, followed by a medium long, gently bitter, slightly dry finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Below average trappist ale, a Tripel with potential but a little off. Disappointing.

Pours clear, darker blonde. Medium sized, seemingly very stable white head. Scent is not as much on the banana as is typical, more to the spicy side, as phenols do seem to take the lead here. Taste is clearly a tripel though, the swet/bitter combo is where it's expected at, pretty center actually for the style. The lower amount of esters (not absent) makes this a bit less 'deep' or complex than the truly greats. The mouthfeel is medium, carbonation medium high. This isnt a bad tripel, really. Forgeteable, appart from the whole trappist from Spain thing, but I also mean that as 'not memorable less good' as much as I mean that for the more obvious 'not a standout'.

Bottle 33cl. @home poured into a tulip glass. Colour medium amber, slightly hazy, fair off-white frothy head, mostly diminishing. Aroma sweet malt, light orange, peach, yeast, light lactose. Taste medium sweet and light bitter, light malty, fruity, yeast, cardboard. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, bit harsh mouthfeel, sweetbitter aftertaste, cardboard, spicy notes, makes an unfinished impression and not (yet) a real tripel, decent enough to drink.
