Review of Straffe Hendrik Triple


Purchased from Plaza liquor (far and away the best shop for beer Tucson) and poured into a snifter.

Pours a golden orangish with a pillowy 1/2" head that retains fairly well with some nice lacing.

The aroma is what you expect for a triple: some citrus, spice, and notes with sweeter hints of candied sugar as well.

The aroma is just a glimpse at the complexity of this brew. There are hints of banana, coriander, honey, and some bitter hops in the finish (possibly saaz).

Lots of champagne bubbliness in the mouthfeel, almost pilsner-esque. This is a very delicious and well balanced ale.

Drinkibility is scary high for this 9.00% triple. If you guys are into the style at all you need to check this one out.
