◎ Appearance

Toccadibò presents a bright golden hue with excellent luminosity, characteristic of the Belgian Tripel style. The unfiltered, bottle-refermented nature produces a subtle cloudiness from suspended yeast, lending a soft, inviting opacity. A dense, persistent head forms on the pour with fine lacing that clings steadily to the glass.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with fruity sweetness and mild honey notes, quickly balanced by a gentle bitterness and warming spice from the Belgian yeast strain. Mid-palate reveals creamy body with wheat-derived softness, allowing the fruity and floral character to develop fully. Bitterness remains restrained at 30 IBU, permitting the complex yeast expression to dominate without harshness.

Serve at 9–12°C

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

Goblet

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.
