Brouwerij Corsendonk Corsendonk Agnus Abbey Tripel at 7.5% ABV (€1.53 at Carrefour Express Grand Place, 330 ml, best before 9-Apr-2018)
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)
Really good abbey triple, with nice Belgian character and a crisp dry mouthfeel, and absolutely no indication of the fairly beefy ABV coming through in the nose or on the tongue – this really is the way I like my tripels. And it cost a euro and a half, in a grocery store. Why is it that I don’t I live in Belgium, again? (16/20)
My 166th from the 2010 Edition (157th from the 2013 edition), and 176th combining both editions.
