Description
Westmalle Tripel is a clear, golden yellow Trappist beer
that undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle (9,5%
alcohol). It is a complex beer with a fruity aroma and a
nice nuanced hop scent. It is soft and creamy in the mouth,
with a bitter touch carried by the fruity aroma. An exceptional
beer, with a great deal of finesse and elegance. And with
a splendid long aftertaste.
The Westmalle Tripel is indeed called the “mother
of all tripels”. This type of beer was first brewed
in Westmalle abbey in 1934 when the new brewing hall came
into use. The current formula has stayed practically unchanged
since 1956, thus almost for 50 years.
Comments
BBC » The first
few sips were quite smooth but then then alcohol flavour
started to come to the fore, which is not surprising for
a 9.5% beer.
