Straffe Hendrik Brugs Tripel (9% ABV)

A lot of quaffing without a great deal of jotting means I have a backlog of photos which I need to publish without sufficient notes to hand to write a decent review.

Retastes will therefore be required, but that won't exactly be a hardship. Think, therefore, of what follows as a series of place markers.

I adore the aesthetics of Straffe Hendrik Brugs Tripel, from the Farrow & Ball-coloured label to the charming 'Man in the Moon' motif which is carried through to the crown cap.

The beer itself is just as appealing. An attractive amber-orange, it has a lean, floral nose with a complex profile of dry autumnal flavors.
