Tripel Perfection

Ommegang Tripel Perfection is delectable to drink and devilish to brew. Like all Belgian tripels it is deceptively simple: predominately pils malts, a touch of caramel malts, and no place to hide any flaws. Clear amber-golden hue with a rocky white head and fine carbonation. While tripels are usually not spiced, extracting all aromas and flavors from yeast, hops and malts, Tripel Perfection exhibits the Ommegang signature; gentle spicing with licorice root, sweet orange peel and coriander, contributing to its unique flavor sand aromas. It also offers fruity esters in tastes and aromatics, solid maltiness, and modest bittering. Strong, well-rounded body, big mouth feel, long warming finish, and superb drinkability for a high-alcohol ale. Pairs well with spicy foods of all sorts, from Texas BBQ to Asian fusion, as well as fried and spicy seafood and shellfish.
