Poured into a tulip, this looks like a typical Tripel. Hazy gold with a lot of bubbling. Huge three finger head that has excellent staying power. Looks like meringue.

The smell is a nice mix of sweetness, fruitiness, and a hint of alcohol.

Taste is not what I was expecting, but in a good way. Most of the fruit hints and sweetness that are present in the nose are not there, at least at first. A hoppiness that you don"t find in most tripels, followed by a spicy fruitiness. Lots of carbonation; very little alcohol in the taste.

Mouthfeel is okay. Somewhat watery, but very smooth and drinkable.

Brugse Zot blond from Brewery De Halve Maan is available in the Beer Store
