Koningshoeven Tripel
Koningshoeven Tripel 750ml:
Without going into too much mind numbing detail, this brewery from the Netherlands once brewed the “La Trappe” label and was an official “Trappist” ale. They then changed the brewery around and lost their “Trappist” status. The “La Trappe” label has since disappeared and the brewery is now brewing under the “Koningshoeven” label and has regained it official “Trappist” designation.
This outstanding Trappist Tripel pours a little darker than most at a golden with red tints. The aroma is sweet and fruity with plum and pear components with whiffs of banana. The mouth-feel is creamy and the flavor is of plum and spicy coriander.
