De Flanders Fields Ale 14-18 Original Tripel is een tripel ale met de rijke smaak van echte Vlaamse hoppe. Naast de Premium Blonde Ale en de Original Bruin Ale is dit het derde bier uit de stal van de Flanders Fields Brewery.
De Original Tripel wordt gebrouwen met hoppe uit de regio van Flanders Fields op basis van een gist die reeds gebruikt werd door een lokale brouwerij ten tijde van Wereldoorlog I. De Flanders Fields Ale 14-18 Original Tripel heeft een mooie blonde kleur en een ruige schuimkraag. Het aroma is zacht kruidig met tinten van honing. De smaakaanzet is zacht moutig met opnieuw noties van honing en fruit. De afdronk brengt een zachte bitterheid afgewisseld met toetsen van aromatische kruiden.
De tripel laat zich vlot drinken met een alcoholvolume van 8 % alc.
Ingrediënten: water, mout, suiker, hop, gist. Bevat gluten.
