Description:
Look: A more coppery appearance and maintained, antique or light with a good persistent head.
Nose: The nose is relatively discreet and elegant with fermented touches and fine yeasts. Quite fresh.
In the mouth: The flavour is full of freshness despite the alcohol content. Then there is the strong side, it is full, fat and long. Nevertheless elegance remains at the end. Neither too sugary nor excessive caramel. A beer to drink with some hard cheeses, a young Comté with a fruity balance. (Description provided by company)

Comments
Organic doesn't always mean great
Brunehaut’s Organic Belgian Triple Ale pours a quite foamy pale cloudy yellow. The beer is extremely carbonated, and overflowed as soon as I opened the bottle. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not awesome either. The nose is floral and slightly fruity- definitely big on the Belgian yeasts. The flavor is somewhere on the bitter side of a traditional triple, with some brown sugary sweetness thrown in for good measure. The high carbonation makes for a sort of aluminum mouthfeel. I know that all sounds harsh, but the beer is decent. Still a far cry from my favorite triple ale though.
