Abbaye Des Sept Minutes III

Another entry from the series brewed by Godspeed and Tooth and Nail, Abbaye Des Sept Minutes III is a Belgian-style tripel. It’s a 9% golden ale that pours clear, under a white, sudsy head. The beer comes in 355mL cans, which is plenty to get your heart started!

AD7M III has a yeasty and tart aroma that touches on cranberry and apple notes. The flavour kicks off sweetly, with loads of boozy warmth. Beyond that, there is a degree of Belgian-style yeast, apple, and spice. The back end is warm and strong.

This beer is, to me, an approachable take on the tripel style. It has the heat, and some of the funk, but it doesn’t have a lot of the charming quirks that characterize the best tripels.

Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
