Bryggia is a tasteful hoppy specialty beer with a fresh yet very full flavor. It is a Bruges beer full of character with a pleasant hint of hops and a gentle fruitiness. The use of a special selection of Belgian hop varieties gives the beer a rich, spicy aroma. This triple is not overly sweet and is nicely balanced. Color blond. Alcohol 8.5%

Bottle @ RBESG grand (after) tasting. Hazy yellow color, small white head. Smell and taste malts, lightly orange, orangepeel, a touch of sweet-bitter. Decent tripel, but unexciting as it does not differ enough from other tripels. Worth a try though.

33cl Stubby bottle from De Hopduvel, Gent. Slightly hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of citrus, dry white wine, some fruity esters, light spicy, alcohol. Flavour is light-malty, dry white wine, citrus, bittersweet alcohol bordering on acetone, nice bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Nice dry tripel, but not as hoppy as I expected.

Bottled@HBF2013. Hazy golden colour with a mediumsized creamy white head. Aroma is fruits, wheat, glue and mild alcohol as well. Flavour is caramel, fruits, toffee and mild alcohol. Very pleasant tripel, quite much following the very old school style tripel.

Golden colour, white head. Aroma of hops, malts and fruity yeast. Bitter flavour, fruity, pronounced hops. Dry and bitter finish.
Not bad, quite fruity and pleasant, though a bit middle-of-the-road.
(Draught -I thought- @ Brugs Bier Festival 2013)

33 cl. bottle sampled @ Brugs Bier Festival 2013. Bryggja? Man that sounds more Scandinavian than Flemish to me. Pale golden with a white head. Smell is floral, cereal, white sugar, sweet bread,… Taste is sweet BE touch dough yeast, banana, white sugar & bread, light floral, hay, touch malts. Light. Once more too inoffensive & bland for me.

Sample @ Brugge Bierfest ’13. Dorée, col blanc. Retrouve ici tout le style triple surtout dans la levure. Le tout reste herbacé sur des houblons nobles donnant de fines notes citronnées. Malts donnent un profil caramel/grillé léger surpassé par la levure-ester et houblons.

Draught Fast gone whitish head, with some shards of lace; clear yellow-golden beer. Rainwater, herbal, grassy nose. Sweet-herbal flavour, cooked lemonbalm, bit soapy flavours. No alcohol discernible and seems certainly not very attenuated. Bit yeasty streak. Light, weak - a tripel? Whatever this is, a tripel is just what was aimed at.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Bryggja Tripel (by Bryggja):
Aroma: 7/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 6/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 13/20, MyTotalScore: 3.2/5

Note: This rating is a mixture of two separate ratings, one from tap, which was too young, and one from bottle, which has had the time to develop and ripen a bit.

Original rating :

2/II/13 - on tap @ Brugs Bierfestival 2013 (2013-117)

Ar: 6, Ap: 4, T: 6, P: 3, O: 10, Total: 2.9

Note: the next day I sampled the beer from the bottle (without taking notes), but it was significantly better than from the tap. I brought a bottle home with me, which will be rerated in a few weeks/months, when the yeast will have had the time to work it's magic.

Clear blond beer, very smooth creamy yellowish head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: sweet fruity esters, some banana. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty bitter, yeasty, bready, some banana peel. Aftertaste: bit metallic, pretty bitter, dry, bit grassy, hoppy and bitter yet pretty straightforward and blunt.
