🌍 Spain · Tripel · One of 14 Tripels in hopIQ

Suxinsu is a Belgian-style tripel from La Sagra, a top-fermented blond ale of 9.1 percent brewed from barley malt, matured for an extended period and conditioned in the bottle. It pours an intense gold. The nose is floral with stone fruit, and the special fermentation brings peach and apricot to the palate alongside honeyed malt and a light peppery yeast note. The body is full and the alcohol noticeable, yet the finish stays fairly dry. The label tells of heroes guarding a magic ball.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with floral and stone fruit notes, supported by a distinctive stone fruit character—peach and apricot emerge from the special yeast fermentation. Honeyed malt underpins the bouquet, adding warmth without heaviness, while a subtle peppery yeast complexity rounds out the olfactory profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft stone fruit flavors that develop into pronounced peach and apricot notes, balanced by the honeyed sweetness of the barley malt. The 25 IBUs provide gentle, restrained bitterness rather than assertive hop character, allowing the malt and fruit esters to remain prominent, while the 9.1% alcohol is perceptible but integrated into the full body.

◑ Finish

The finish dries noticeably despite the malt sweetness earlier in the profile, with a clean, refreshing quality that invites another sip. Lingering peach and subtle peppery notes persist in the aftertaste without excessive warmth.

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.
