Day 28: January 28, 2015
Diary entry:
Well, at least I made it to the gym again today.
Actually, some good, informative workshops today. One in the morning, and another at the end of the day. So I gotta say, this was a good day. May have even moved things forwards a little!
Had to give up my Lenovo laptop that I’ve had since Taiwan today. Gonna miss it. Tomorrow I get my new HP Laptop. Yay!
The Beer:
Name: St. Idesbald Tripel
Style: Abbey Tripel
Producer: Brouwerij Huyghe under license from Ten Duinen
Alcohol content: 9.0%
Bottle size: 0.33l
Purchased from: De Hopduvel in Ghent.
Commercial Description:
Bottle conditioned. Rich golden colour, fruity aroma and a soft, sweet maltiness. Lively mouthfeel with a finish reminiscent of brut champagne.
St. Idesbald Tripel is a very good Tripel! Not too sweet. Easily drinkable. 9% not evident whatsoever. I could go for another of these.
