Tripel Van De Garre
Drank on-tap at Staminee De Garre, Brugge, Belgium Served in a signature Garre goblet The beer poured a crystal clear amber color with a near three-finger head of super creamy, off-white froth. Tons of lacing stuck all along the glass. The head slowly faded to a thick, resilient cap that lasted the entire drink. Lots of must in the aroma. The beer had a very cellar-like quality. Somewhat sweet and spicy. Yeasty. Belgian candi sugar notes were apparent. The nose became even sweeter as the beer warmed. The taste was also quite sweet and spicy. Wheaty, crisp and moderately tart. Slightly lemony. Fruity in the center. Somewhat hoppy and semi-dry on the finish. A touch of alcohol warmth came through as well. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with a crisp, sprightly effervescence. Drinkability was quite good. This beer was tasty and well rounded. The sweeter than average flavor profile might limit your consumption however.
