Brasserie de la Senne Jambe de Bois Belgian Revolution Tripel Abbey Tripel at 8% ABV (C$3.78 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 330 ml, bottle date 10-Jun-2015, best before 10-Jun-2016, reviewed 14-Feb-2016)
Appearance: cloudy pale straw with two fingers of fluffy eggshell head, excellent retention and good lacing. (4/5) Aroma: dry dusty citrus, bready yeast, white pepper, earth. (8/10) Taste: moderate-low sweet, moderate-strong bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, dry medium duration mild bitter finish. (4/5)
Well that’s a bit of all right. Dry and bitter, with just enough mild sweetness to keep it from being unbalanced. Sort of reminds me of their Taras Boulba, but drier and not tart. Refreshing and more-ish, with absolutely no indication of the relatively high ABV. (16/20)
