#4 in Belg-a-Rama #4, La Rulles Triple (Biere de Gaume) from Brasserie Artisanale De Rulles, an 8.4% abbey tripel, with American Pacific NorthWest hops, and a yeast strain from the Orval Trappist brewery. I first had this in February, 2005. Here are those notes from a bottle:
"An attractive ale, lovely orange hue, gushing carbonation, lush, large head, fluffy white.
Aroma, wondrous spice, tantalizing citric flavor, outsized yeast...seems the very picture of the biere de garde style. quite arousing.
Taste: plays easily on the palate, smooth and tasty, yum...big citric fruit, substantial spice...all in a very nice example of the style. Big mouthfeel, extremely drinkable, medium bodied, with a long, fruity, lemony, spicy finish.
I can easily recommend this one."
Drinking it on tap, and with the new perspective of the hops employed, I'd call this more of a Belgian Golden Strong IPA Tripel. Or something along those lines. Wouldn't you?
