Brasserie Dunham Triple XXX Abbey Tripel at 8.5% ABV (C$9.29 at Zyn, 750 ml, no bottle date or best before, reviewed 22-Jan-2016)
Appearance: cloudy pale gold with a massive and growing fluffy white head, excellent retention and sticky chunky lacing. (3/5) Aroma: complex, candi sugar, citrus zest, apples & pears, tropical fruit, grassy. (7/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate-high bitter, light tart. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate-high carbonation, lightly boozy and tart finish. (4/5)
Not entirely convinced by this one. The flavours are pleasant enough, but it ends up being a little syrupy and sweet for me. The sweetness level might work for some, but I find it a touch cloying. I’d like this more if it were crisper and dryer. (14/20)
