Gouverneur Tripel

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with bright clarity and fine carbonation creating a delicate mousse. The head builds moderately and clings to the glass with light, persistent lacing. A visually clean and inviting presentation characteristic of the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with warm spice notes—cinnamon and allspice are immediately recognizable alongside subtle herbal undertones from noble hops. Beneath this lies a pronounced fruity character with hints of stone fruit and a light, grainy malt base that integrates seamlessly with the spiced adjuncts.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters soft and approachable despite the 8.2% ABV, with spice and fruit moving front and center. Mid-palate reveals the influence of spelt malt and oat flakes—a slightly grainy, almost oat-derived sweetness—before a clean, assertive bitterness emerges and drives toward a bone-dry finish. The 26 IBU feels more pronounced than the number suggests, cutting through cleanly.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste is characteristically dry and slightly peppery, with lingering spice and a gentle resinous bite from the hops. Remarkably clean for an 8.2% tripel, with no warming alcohol presence on the palate.
