Afflligem Tripel: 27

Taste: 9 Finish: 9 Visual: 5 Aroma: 4
Total: 27

It has a great deep yellow, going on orange color. The aroma smells sweet with citrus and floral notes. There is a mild yeast/bread underneath it all.

It has a lot of sweetness upfront. Syrup and mild flowers. The bitterness starts at the edges of the tongue and then kicks in a bit in the back. A very light citrus, orange, is present. It's definitely a medium floral hop flavor. It finishes cleanly with a bit of sweetness and bread remaining. Not a hint of alcohol is present even though it's 8.5%.

A great tasting brew for sipping or enjoy after dinner. Would be great with cake or pie or a bit of dark chocolate. Really good and worth several tries.
