Blind-tasted ex: Name, Style and ABV%. Fresh palate...
L- Well that was a surprise, it has poured pale gold, paler than I had expected. Very lively rising CO2 into a 4cm foamy white head. Holds ok, forms heavy lacing down sides.
S- I'm Q. congested, but I do sense a robust brightness to it.
T- Interesting, quite a punchy taste, but it seems to have... something of a sourness to it... that lingers in the finish. In parallel most of the way into the finish is a sense of solid richness; it's clear this is robust% beer. My nose clears a touch, I can taste hints of Belgian yeast esters ('like Pear Drops'). My palate is beyong the initial shock re: the sour aspect, it comes over as more of a bright aspect now, useful in balancing out the heft of the ABV%. ps. the further down the glass I got, the more trad Tripel it seems to become.
F- Solid, Belgian, well balanced. Curiously given the uber-hipster/youthy nature of the lable it comes over as pretty trad., a good thing when it comes to estery Belgian beers.
O- What a surprise, a crafty-can with (at face value) quite demented labelling on it. Pours unusually pale with with great CO2. Delivers a well balanced essentially quite trad Belgian Tripel experience. Pretty expensive though, but the punchy 'attack' on it is worth experiencing.
Bought from: Trembling Madness, York £5.25/ can. Rated+reviewed I'll now check the can for clues- 'BB: 01/07/2026 Gyle: 140' Live/unfiltered, brewed in Leeds. Triple grains here, and hops = Perle and Willamette, yeast = Abbaye
