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.

Der Antrunk ist süßlich-scharf, sehr limonadig-alkoholisch. Ich finde es zu süß-klebrig, ich meine auch, ein paar Kräuter zu schmecken.
--> Viel zu alkoholisch-scharf. Nicht so meins!
Test vom 19.6.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,7,9,7,12,8 - 8,45

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Hogerdijk, Culemborg. Golden with a white head. Fruity yeasty nose, Bittersweet taste. A bit drier than most tripels but other than that quite standard. Decent but standard.

10/II/13 - 33cl bottle @ home - BB: 6/IX/15 (2013-155) Thanks to Alexandra and Doda for the bottle!
Clear light orange beer, big solid creamy white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very grassy hops, lime peel, smells like pilsener. MF: too much carbon, medium body. Taste: citric start, bit sweet, dairy, spices, cloves, some liquorish, bitter hops. Aftertaste: spicy, bitter, some orange peel, grains, pretty herbal, bitter. Not as bad as I feared! Decent tripel, but a bit plain.

330ml Bottle - Amber body with a very frothy head that laces the drink. Aroma is fresh, crisp citrus, caramel and a bit of yeast. Taste is dominated by caramel with a touch of malt and a clove nip á la Leffe. A little citrus in the finish with a boozy warmth throughout.
