🌍 Canada · Tripel · One of 3 Tripels in hopIQ

A blonde tripel with brioche and noble hops in the nose. Citrus zest and a clove-like yeast spice come first, then pear and a floral note, all carried on a soft, mellow body with a clear alcohol warmth. Sugar in the boil keeps the finish from turning heavy despite the strength, so the beer stays lightly sweet rather than dry. Bitterness is low and the close runs long and warming.

Very crisp and substantial.

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

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.
