Corsendonk Agnus Tripel
A deceptively potent ale in the golden, “Triple” strength of Belgium’s Trappist monks. It has a very big head indeed – pour it gently – and a very clean palate, beginning with a dry, lightly citric fruitiness, and finishing with a distinctive and delicate, perfumy, hop character. Very light and fluffy in texture, giving little hint of its strength. This beer has living yeast in the bottle, and will evolve with age, becoming softer and cleaner.”
Appearance: Light radiant golden with a mild chill haze and a powdery fluffy white lace.
Smell: Citric and apple in the fruitiness...earthy yeast also.
Taste: Very crisp with a semi smooth mouth feel. On the dry side, light to medium in body and well composed. Some fruity esters and a flavoured hop bitterness to balance. Dash of sweetness up front...more grain, husk and yeast dry the brew in the finish.
