Force Majeure - Tripel Hop
Force Majeure is a Belgian brewery specialising in alcohol free beers. "100% Smaak, 0% Alcohol", as it says on the label. (Although the designation declared on the 33cl bottle is actually <0.5%). Also listed are the ingredients: barley, wheat, oats, hops, herbs and sucralose. In the glass the beer is a delightful rich tawny colour and sports a substantially frothy topping. Ripe banana and esters are the tempting aromas as one raises the beer to the lips. The taste is a delicious combination of raisin, fig, Seville orange and toffee. The mouthfeel is very creamy, soft and well-rounded. The carbonation level is low. It is a sweet beer (think demerara sugar) but this is balanced with a bitter edge at the finish. 100% excellent.
