Triple Moine / Deugniet

Review:

This offering from Brasserie Du Bocq pours a cloudy gold murky with a ton of yeast throughout leaving a thick off white head that is sticky. The aroma is wheat, lemon, honey, dried fruit, figs, date, prunes, orange, overripened fruit, pitted, and bready yeast aroma.

The taste starts tart on the palate, soft carbonation honey and lemon, earthy herbal nature to the beer. Wheat and a bit of tangyness on the palate continues with a orange essence really strengthens as it warms.

The alcohol is apparent but not overwhelming soft warming of the palate leaving a bit of a burn in the finish. Overall decent tripel a tad rough some age could benefit this beer.

Serving type: bottle

Food Pairing:

I paired this beer with a delicate broiled flounder with a "mock" salsa including onions, tomatoes, a bit of olive oil salt and pepper with a side of broccoli and brown rice. The light lemon essense in the beer really paired well with the delicate fish but strong enough to hold up against the raw onion.

Cheers,
Frank
