This! Great carbonation and a super fluffy head. From the recipe off He's brewday I get about 45 IBU which is bang on where I like this style of beer..aroma is as expected, tropical fruit with a lovely caramel and slight biscuit from the malt.
I really like this...pity my garden is cold and snowy as I'd like to sit out in the sun with it...
Would you believe I've just weighed the grains and prepped water to brew this tomorrow!
Thanks for sharing H...NOW I know what all the fuss is about!
is one of the nicest sentences i've read in quite some timevanilla as the palate forgets
As it happens...I'm just about to crack the Belgian you sent...I’m going to join you @Clint with a nice pint of Summer Breeze. I had decided on a Belgian Tripel until I saw your post. I’m so fickle

As threatened...
Opens with a nice "pssst" and a massive bubblegum/candy aroma.
Now,as some will know...I don't drink many Belgian beers so was a bit apprehensive about this...it's a sipper..but very moreish. Very rounded flavours..in fact layers of flavour,then a dry finish...but a perception of sweetness maybe from the aroma. I detect a bit of what I'd describe as yeast character and at the end a subtle alcohol warmth. It's complex but not a muddle if that sounds right.. opaque,light straw,thin white head and lots of lacing...then you realise how strong it is!
I think I might have a crack at this one! Maybe later in the year and keep it for Christmas...
I can't judge it against "style" as I don't drink Belgian beers..but it's a "LIKE" from my uneducated palette!
Thanks H!
It's a "cosy" beer! I like the yeast..See, everyone likes a Belgian in the end!
It would clear if you left it for a few days but I quite like it with the yeast.
I had that last night. Lovely dropCelebrating a successful brewday with a cracking trappist single from @dave_77
Dry and beautifully drinkable with just a mild spice/peppery Belgian character.
Balance is spot on. Really nice change from my usual hop bombs.
:hat:
