Side by side with Chimay White Cinq Cents Tripel
Pours slightly hazy gold, big white even head, identical.
Aroma: original a little boozy, slight perfume, mine more malty, yeast. Very close.
Mouth feel: original a tad more toothy, but carb is identical, mouth feel very similar.
Flavor: mine has a little more malt bite, otherwise yeast dominant flavor, slight hop edge near the end.
Finish: almost identical, slight hop edge cleans palate nicely. Original is more hoppy/aromatic/fragrant to finish on big gulp.
Overall: Wow, very good try, could back off on Munich a little, find a more perfumy hop for later in the boil, maybe add 5 IBUs at 15 mins with something piney like Simcoe, raise mash temp 1 or 2 df.
Pretty buzzed after this tasting!
