Vlissingse Tripel

0.3 l bottle from 'Ace Drinks', best before January 2023. Hazy, orangeish amber with a large, foamy, stable, white head. Sweetish, gently fruity-floral and a little yeasty-spicy aroma of orange peel, pineapple and honey. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, quite fruity-floral, gently yeasty-spicy taste of orange peel, pineapple, clove, peach, some honey and a touch of banana, followed by a medium long, quite bitter, gently yeasty-spicy, slightly grassy and a little boozy finish. Medium to full body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Immensely hoppy Tripel, not hiding its Belgian character though. Nicely fresh and fruity, dangerously drinkable and refreshing. Maybe a little harsh, but other than that a great hoppy Tripel. My expectations weren't that high to be honest, but this is a very good debut!
