Ommegang, again (Triple Perfection)
Second of the Ommegang gifts from Jeremy, Ommegang Tripel Perfection, 750 ml, …"The triple is among the most popular of Belgian ales. Brewed with simple ingredients and fierce attention to detail, there is little room for error--but lots of opportunity. Perfection isn't easily acheived---but once achieved it is always memorable."
So let's open it up, and go!
Cloudy, light golden hue, big white head, long lasting, lace leaving. Fits the part.
Aroma: spice and citrus, very airy, white pepper meets lemon peel, matched with Belgian yeast.
Taste: incessant blitz of hops, spice, citrus zest, and fierce carbonation. Bam, zam, lovely, lovely, lovely. This has all a triple wants and need, and more. Nothing more to say, it has it all…pale malt, abundant yeast, zesty citrus and spice, the whole deal. Genius. Thoroughly amazing. Yum and yum. Every inch the very verisimilitude of a top-notch triple.
