The Bruges city beer of old, potent and bitter-sweet BRUGGE Tripel has a beautiful golden-blond colour and a firm, rocky head, leaving a trail of Bruges lace on the glass. The aroma has a typical touch of smoked phenolic, and the flavour is bitter, rich and creamy.
The secret of the BRUGGE Tripel city beer is the unique composition of the “gruut” blend of herbs and spices used to enrich its flavour and aroma. In Bruges, anyone brewing beer was obliged to purchase “gruut” from the city’s herbs and spices shop, known as the “Gruuthuse”. Jan van Brugge and his descendents, who later changed their name to Van Gruuthuse, had a monopoly on the sale of Bruges “gruut” that lasted late into the 16th century. At the same time, taxes were levied to the Count of Flanders. In BRUGGE Tripel, this medieval tradition continues.

(Bottle, Delirium Café, Brussels, 26 Oct 2014) Pale golden colour with foamy, white head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of grainy malt, tropical fruit and peaches. Malty, fruity taste with tropical fruit, peaches, candy sugar, grainy malt and a gentle spicy bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. A bit sharp and sweet, not overly complex, but fairly tasty. Quite nice.

Bottle. A clear one, golden in color and with a creamy, off-white head leaving lacings. The aroma has quite a lot of banana, with white sugar, pears and some grass. Alcohol notes. It’s quite dry on the palate, with a pleasant carbonation level. Bitter flavor with a generic fruityness, pale malts, grains and some resins. Lasting finish. A decent one, but a bit sweet, thin and boring. 141231

Bottle. Pours clear amber with airy but stable off-white head. Clear aroma of yeast, malt and alcohol, with notes of fruit. Sweetish flavour of malt and fruit, with notes of caramel and yeast, complemented by balanced, hoppy bitterness. Bittersweet aftertaste. Decent but nothing really extraordinary.

Gekocht in de supermarkt van de Vossemeren in Lommel op 9-9-2014. Goud-helder van kleur met veel gelijkmatig wit schuim, bijna romig schuim. Het heeft een fris fruitig aroma, ook citrus wat zoet van de alcohol en wat mout zitten erin. De smaak is fris en moutig. De nasmaak is licht bitter en wat alcoholisch.
