Drake — Belgian Tripel
Drake — Belgian Tripel | Birrificio Altotevere, San Giustino (PG)
Inspired by Belgian Tripels. Dangerously easy to drink.
Drake is the Belgian Tripel from Birrificio Altotevere: a beer inspired by the great Belgian Trappist tradition, built around the vigorous aromatic symphony of Trappist yeast. Deep golden in color, with a smooth, enveloping body and a surprisingly dry, easy-drinking finish. Appearances can be deceiving — as the Tripel tradition demands: golden in color, easy to drink, and with 8.5% ABV that only makes itself known when it is too late.
Tasting profile
Deep golden in color, with a fine, persistent head. The true aromatic engine is the Trappist yeast strain: fermenting at warm temperatures, it generates a symphony of fruity and spicy aromas without the aid of added spices — citrus, tropical fruit, and delicate ethereal notes. On the palate, the opening is sweetish and honeyed, full-bodied and enveloping. It quickly evolves into a dry, clean, slightly alcoholic finish that eliminates any heaviness, making it dangerously easy to drink despite its 8.5% ABV. Balanced and surprising.

Recommended pairings
Drake’s spicy sweetness and alcoholic structure make it perfect at the table with aged and soft cheeses, delicate white meats (roast chicken, rabbit, veal), and first courses with light herb-based sauces. It is also excellent as a sipping beer at the end of a meal, as an alternative to a digestif.
