Brewer: Brasserie Dupont (Tourpes-Leuze, Belgium)
Beer: Moinette Blonde
Style: Abbey Tripel
abv: 8.5%
Bottle from the store.
Opens with a pop and an explosion of aroma; must, yeast, and spice fills the room. Pours hazy gold with a huge head which leaves a lot of lacing. In the glass the aroma is fruitier: lemon zest, orange, and banana. There is a pronounced spiciness, with pepper and coriander dancing around that mustiness, now much more subtle. Bready flavor, turning spicy and fruity halfway through. A shot of hops comes in at the end. Dry finish, with a hint of plastic. Spritzy carbonation.
Rating: 3.6 out of 5
