Day 161: June 10, 2015
Diary entry:
An extremely full day at work, with constant bookings from 9 ’til 5.
Not even enough of a schedule gap to grab a proper lunch! Luckily, my meeting from 11:30-1 we just stole a table in the cafeteria, and I grabbed a quick sandwich to bring with me to my 1 PM meeting.
It’s day like these that keep me going, though! As long as the meetings and workshops are productive.
The Beer:
Name: Gouverneur Tripel
Style: Belgian Tripel
Producer: Lindeboom
Alcohol content: 8.2%
Bottle size: 0.33l
Purchased from: Albert Heijn supermarket in Boxtel, Netherlands.
Not bad at all for a supermarket Tripel. Good fruity favor with some bitterness.
Commercial Description:
Governor Tripel is a golden, slightly sweet specialty with delicate aromas and a hopflower taste. This fermented beer is brewed with crystal clear water from private sources and natural ingredients. The secondary fermentation in the bottle makes the beer a tad cloudy and enriches the flavor aroma.
Recommended drinking temperature: 6-8 ° C
Advice: pour the bottle half empty, turn the bottle and pour it further.
