Green's Tripel Ale (pack of 4) (33cl, 8.5%)

Green's Tripel Ale is a naturally gluten-free Belgian-style tripel brewed at 8.5% ABV, sold as a four-pack of 330ml bottles. It is brewed at De Proefbrouwerij in Lochristi, Belgium, for the UK-based Green's brand, using millet, buckwheat, brown rice and sorghum rather than barley. The ale is bottle re-fermented, with a small dose of yeast and sugar added at bottling for natural carbonation and additional complexity. The nose leads with green apple and pear, followed by lemon zest and spicy Belgian yeast esters, with light grain, grassy hop notes and faint caramel-like sweetness. The palate opens with sweet sorghum and gentle rice grain, moving into candied fruit, banana and ripe apple, with clove, mild nuttiness and subtle toast from the buckwheat. The finish is long, with lingering pear, clove spice and clean grain dryness.
