Achel Trappist Blond

Country - Belgium

Percentage - 8.0%

Brewing Company - Brauwerij der St. Benedictusabdij de Achelse

"Authentic Trappist product" When poured this is a cloudy gold colour beer with a large frothy white head and excellent lacing providing a weak aroma of a little spice and fruit. On tasting, the alcohol is not well masked. it is a sweet beer with a light body and good yeast Belgium flavours finishing on a slight sweet bread note. This is a good Tripel but is a shadow of others in the same style.

Verdict - OK

Murray's Grand Cru

Country - Australia

Percentage - 8.8%

Brewing Company - Murray's Brewing Company

When poured, an extremely hazy dark amber beer with good head retention and lacing. The beer has a strong and unique aroma of banana and bubble gum. On tasting this is a smooth full bodied beer with a mellow bitterness that is balanced well with biscuit malt flavours. The alcohol content is well masked so as that it is barely perceptible thanks toth Belgium yeast characters. As this is a hybrid of a Belgium Triple that out performs the others of this style, this is an outstanding beer to end a session.

Verdict - Perfect
