Duchesse Anne Triple

◎ Appearance

A luminous golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. The head forms densely and persists with fine, delicate lacing that clings to the glass. Carbonation is lively and persistent, creating a steady stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced fruity esters—ripe banana and stone fruit dominate the initial impression. Beneath lies a warm, yeasty character with subtle spicy notes and a delicate floral backdrop. Honey and light citrus zest emerge with aeration, creating a complex and inviting bouquet.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and fruity, with the yeast character creating a slightly sweet, full mouthfeel. Mid-palate brings creamy honey notes and gentle spice, balanced by 30 IBU of restrained noble-hop bitterness. The malt structure provides subtle body and a light caramel undertone without heaviness.

◑ Finish

A warming, slightly boozy finish carries the yeast and fruit character into a lingering aftertaste. Dryness builds gently, leaving honey and banana notes on the palate as heat gradually subsides.

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.
