Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Curtius Triple
◎ Appearance
A luminous golden hue with excellent clarity and a tight, persistent white head that clings to the glass walls with fine lacing. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a continuous stream of fine bubbles that sustains the foam structure throughout the drinking experience.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with expressive fruity esters—ripe banana and stone fruit notes—layered over a pronounced yeasty undertone that speaks to the bottle conditioning. Spice emerges in the background, with hints of clove and a subtle honeyed warmth that invites further exploration.
◐ Taste
The palate enters dry and full-bodied, with the yeast-driven character evident from the first sip. Fruity and spiced notes build through the mid-palate, balanced by a gentle wheat-like grain foundation and moderate bitterness that remains restrained. The 9% ABV manifests as warming alcohol that amplifies the dryness without harshness.
◑ Finish
A lengthy, dry finish with lingering fruity and spiced notes that evolve as the beer warms in the glass. The alcohol warmth persists pleasantly without overpowering, leaving the palate clean and inviting another sip.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Curtius Triple
Serve at 10–13°C in a goblet. The yeast character and carbonation are the stars — cold would suppress both.
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.
