Melocotón en Almíbar

Tap to rate

Blond, powerful and warm, sweet and peachy: a stronger tripel with fresh peach and peach in syrup from Cieza. The peach is easy to pick out in the glass, and the brewery calls the beer a nod to its land of peaches and preserves and a lovely meeting of seductive flavours. The brewery aims for beer without filtering or pasteurising.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Melocotón en Almíbar

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings delicately to the glass. The beer presents a luminous quality typical of the tripel style, with active carbonation evident in steady streams of fine bubbles. Head retention is strong, leaving a fine lacework of foam on the glass as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by ripe peach and preserved peach preserves, lending a distinctive fruit-forward character. Beneath the stone fruit sits a warm, honeyed maltiness with gentle herbal and spicy notes from the yeast fermentation. The alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, supporting rather than overpowering the delicate fruit aromatics.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright, syrupy peach sweetness that fills the mouth with a smooth, rounded body typical of a well-crafted tripel. Mid-palate reveals a balanced interplay of stone-fruit flavor and gentle warming alcohol, with subtle honey notes adding depth. The bitterness remains restrained at 30 IBU, allowing the peach character and sweet maltiness to dominate without becoming cloying.

◑ Finish

The finish is warm and lingering, with peach preserves and honey fading gradually into a subtle herbal spiciness. The alcohol warmth builds gently in the throat, leaving a smooth, slightly drying aftertaste that invites another sip.

Serve at 9–12°C

Serve at 10–13°C in a goblet. The yeast character and carbonation are the stars — cold would suppress both.

Goblet

The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.

Drink within 2 years. Some complexity develops with age but the yeast character is best relatively fresh.
