Tripel Intelligence

◎ Appearance

Tripel Intelligence presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head that clings to the glass with delicate lacing. The carbonation is lively and consistent, creating a gentle stream of bubbles that sustains throughout the pour. The overall presentation is bright and inviting, characteristic of a well-crafted Belgian Tripel.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with distinctive spice notes—white pepper and clove—layered over ripe pear and subtle peach aromatics from the fruit additions. Underneath, a soft maltiness emerges with hints of wheat and a delicate herbal quality from the Perle hops. There is a gentle yeasty undertone that rounds out the profile without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and slightly sweet, driven by the candi sugar and malt backbone of wheat and oats. The mid-palate develops spice complexity alongside a fruity sweetness that evolves toward stone fruit. The 19 IBU provides subtle bitterness and structure without overwhelming the delicate pear character, while the 8.5% ABV creates warmth and slight dryness toward the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is lingering and pleasantly dry, with residual spice and a faint herbal note persisting on the palate. A gentle alcohol warmth accompanies the aftertaste, leaving a clean and crisp impression.
