Bøvelen

0.75l bottle @ Henrik, Bergen. Pours a cloudy deep orange body with some dark sediments and a lasting small white bubbly head. Aroma is light and mild, fruity with that typical Kinn-yeast profile that really reminds me of mild ripe melon-zest. Full-bodied, has a smooth and creamy, almost velvety mouthfeeling and is medium+ carbonated. Low bitterness, fruity-sweet with green apples and slightly peppery. The spice and relatively high abv leave a mild burning aftertaste in the throat. Really nice tripel. A distinct mild alcohol note in the finish as well. So light and refreshing! Top stuff from Kinn this time.

750 ml capped bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Brew #61, ABV is 9,5%. Hazy golden colour, huge white head. Very nice sweetish fruity and spicy aroma, typical notes of Belgian ale yeast. A hint of farmhouse too. The flavour is still fairly sweet (maybe too sweet), will probably benefit from a few years’ cellaring. Typical spicy and yeasty triple notes, some bitterness in the finish.
