Brasserie Lefebvre Abbaye de Floreffe Triple Tripel at 8% ABV ($5.24 from Crowfoot Liquor Okotoks)
Pours hazy deep gold with one finger of loose white head diminishing gradually to a thin skim, minimal patchy lacing. Nose is pale malt and boozy dark fruit, candi sugar, Belgian yeast. Taste is moderate candi sugar and apples, mild bitter, slightly tart. Medium body, low sustained carbonation, with an off-dry moderate bitter boozy finish.
Again, Floreffe isn’t getting me too excited. Pretty pedestrian tripel, with both nose and flavour on the muted side after the first short-lived burst of moderately interesting Belgian yeasts. Appearance is again disappointing, short-lived short head and absence of lacing. I can think of better alternatives.
