Brasserie St-Feuillien / Friart St Feuillien Triple Abbey Tripel at 8.5% ABV (€1.85 at Carrefour Express Grand Place, 330 ml, best before 16-Mar-2017)
Pours hazy pale gold with two fingers of fluffy white head, good retention and lacing. (4/5) Nose is coriander, banana, lemon zest, Belgian yeast, honey. (8/10) Taste is moderate sweet, mild bitter. (8/10) Medium to light bodied, prickly carbonation, dry crisp finish. (4/5)
Another really good abbey triple, complete with the with nice Belgian character and crisp dry mouthfeel I look for. Hard to clearly prefer this over the Corsendonk I tried earlier tonight, but it definitely has a more pronounced ABV – which is not necessarily a negative. And under €2 at a corner grocery store. I think I need to live in Belgium for a bit… (16/20)
My 167th from the 2010 Edition (158th from the 2013 edition), and 177th combining both editions.
