Review from Nathan in Philly, Use The Contact Form if you would like to submit your own beer review!
From Triumph Brewing Company: Dubbel? Tripel? Quad? We’ll match you and raise one. A Belgian-style ale with loads of fruity, earthy flavor, this one comes in at 13.6% ABV. Soyez prudent!
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Triumph Brewing Company-Le Cinq-served from draught in a pony glass, ABV 13.5%. Purchased on tap at Triumph Brewpub-113 Chesnut Street Philadelphia, PA
Appearance: A muddy gold with a creamy ½” head.
Smell: Orange and lemon zest with a whiff of caramel.
Taste: A strong taste of alcohol that yields to a honey sweet, citrusy finish. Tastes like the lovechild of a barleywine and a hefeweizen.
Mouthfeel: Velvety, full body with a sweet finish.
Drinkability: Unchuggable! The high ABV gives it a character more akin to a “hoppy wine”. A Belgian ale that stands head and shoulders above its comrades.
