Witkap Pater Tripel



Had this last night in a bottle, but my first taste was when I first tapped it, back in October of 2007. Those notes follow"

Hazed orange color, big white head that slims down to a thing ring.

Aroma is bright and uplifting, spicy, citric, an airy, yeasty wonder. Flowery hops meet heavenly yeast. Ah....

Taste: refreshing, with flavors of lemon, ginger, coriander, cookie dough...ends dryly and crisply. No lingering on the palate, it pleases while in the mouth and vanishes with the memory hanging in the head. Lightly chalky in the back, clean, dry, and spicy.

Nice traction on the mouthfeel, lots of play off of the tongue, medium bodied, full flavored.
Yum.

This is a tripel to thake your time with, to draw you in and calm you down, cool you off, and set the mind at ease.
Love it.
