Very crisp and substantial.

A heavy frame with a sharp finish — a rare combination that stays pointed on the tongue.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

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.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Curtius Triple

Serve at 9–12°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

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

Goblet
Recommended for this style

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.
