Troubadour Magma Special Edition 2014 Tripel Yeast
The Musketeers Brouwerijcafé

 

From the 750ml bottle in a snifter. This nice tripel pours a deep
and cloudy amber with a fantastic head of white foam that settles
to a thick ring, thin layer, and sports some fantastic lacing. Nose of
yeasty bread, sweet candy malts, subtle peach and apricot notes,
and a mild herbal hop. Flavors exceed the nose with apricot and
yeasty bread mingling with a touch of cracker and herbal hops with
a touch of apple and nice candy sugars. Decent mouth feel; smooth,
medium light body, medium light carbonation, and a subtly dry finish.

Overall, a solid little brew from the Doomsday beer closet that has mellowed
out a bit over time. Nice,

Cheers

 

 

With a complex and yeasty bouquet, the beer's soul is a three-headed monster that makes its mark all over the flavor profile- big on fruit esters and spicy phenols, the ale's boistrous balance is even, smooth and begging for a wedge of white stilton.

Its glowing amber pour is sunset red and orange as a creamy froth layers the tulip edge to edge. Its trailing lace is a precursor to the juicy and fruity aromatics that saturate the nose with deep peach, apricot and mango. Its malty-sweet taste is firm with caramel, honey and a highly floral honeysuckle orange blossom character.

While those vibrant fruit flavors and accompanying sweetness slathers on the palate, they come with a dense biscuity center with the essence of bread dough, mild toast and marmalade. Its spicy balance with equally bright; piquant with freshly grated white pepper, soft cumin and delicate white wine vinous taste. Trending hoppy as the taste proceeds, a grassy cilantro, softly resinous pine, and fresh grass clippings frame the bitterness with the finish looming.

Medium, but just off of full; the beer's plump character reads with greater density than is likely actually present. Its strong carbonation is both effervescent to give the beer a sprite and spirited bounce, but is also creamy and light also giving impressions of angel-food cake and circus peanuts.

 

Beautiful red-Amber ale with a off-white head and a pretty clear body. This beer is now a little long in the tooth, but the super sweet tangerine, blood orange aroma is intoxicating. The taste is a little underwhelming, but the sweet alfalfa hoppy/ triple yeast combo, along with the juicy citrus fruit was very pleasing to the palate. Very good ipa with a delicious Belgian twist

 

Bottle: Poured a bright amber color ale with a large foamy head with great retention and some good lacing. Aroma of Belgian style malt with nice yeasty notes and some dry floral hops notes also noticeable. Taste is a mix of solid Belgian style malt with some residual sugar notes and some yeasty notes. Hops profile consists of nice dry floral notes. Body is full with nice carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Well balance overall but I would have liked the hops profile to be even more upfront.

 

Excellent taste. Nice twist using 3 yeasts

 

Pours a golden amber hue with a nice one finger white head and lacing everywhere nice looking, piney hops, pineapple and funk all on the nose, feel is medium bodied and moderately carbonated, taste is pretty damn hoppy with tropical fruit mostly pineapple and paw paw broken up with a little funkiness and finished with a pine bitterness, overall quite nice but I think it needs age for the Brett to take its part cheers.
