Batch 200 Tripel Tasting Notes

Cellar temp

Pours clear deep gold white head with big bubbles that holds for a bit, light lacing

Aroma ripe bananas, curry, bubblegum

Mouthfeel moderate body, sweet but not clingy, cleans up well

Flavor bubblegum forward, sweet tropical fruit that leans estery, some nice spice notes

Finishes sweet with slight hop bite at the end, carb cleans up nicely, want more

Overall a little heavy on the esters, but could probably pass for Chimay white.  Fine example.

PS note after having a Chimay red a couple weeks later:  This tripel is more bitter than the Chimay.
